The Old Regime began in the 15th Century. It was a feudal, monarchial type of
government where the Church and nobility are the dominant forces in
society. It was time of absolute
monarchy and development of centralized government. Though there was a period of prosperity, it

Europe was divided into a US-led Western Bloc and a Soviet-led Eastern Bloc.
