1 Europe's Self-Transformation
Main thrust of development: politics.
Power was concentrated
Each region or so had its own ruler, and was bordered (ish), but they were connected by a single center.
political consolidation
Bunch of wars fought around religion.
Consolidation "reflected" massive advances in military technology.
What do they mean by reflected? Like advanced, but they cant say for sure? like happened at the same time, but causation is unclear?
Weapons become better and more powerful, organization and resource allocation becomes more important
