WELCOME TO THE QUEST FOR HISTORY!
The European Edition

Europe has had a turbulent and cultured history, including the Hellenistic period of democratic Greece, the Roman Empire, and the Dark Ages. The Middle Ages were marked by feudalism while the following Renaissance period highlighted a time of highly civilized and cultured European society. European power continued throughout the 16th and 17th centuries with the colonization of the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Numerous wars between European countries and the two world wars weakened Europe and the following Cold War created a violent tension in Europe, which became the battleground of the Cold War. The creation of the European Union, however, has strengthened Europe, and the continent is developing as a world power.
