Causes. On the surface, the most apparent cause of the Enlightenment was the Thirty Years' War. This horribly destructive war, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, compelled German writers to pen harsh criticisms regarding the ideas of nationalism and warfare


A huge proponent of the Enlightenment, Montesquieu suggested the theory of the separation of powers in order to obtain a political system of checks and balances, promoting order and equality. Principles of the Enlightenment also featured heavily in the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence


An eighteenth century intellectual movement whose three central concepts were the use of reason, the scientific method, and progress. Enlightenment thinkers believed they could help create better societies and better people

Why did countries want to colonize in the americans
Nataly_w [17]
English sailers were on a mission to find new land to live on. They were tired of England’s monarchy because during those times to be wealthy or participate in government you had to be born into it (monarchy/aristocrats). English men thought of a new idea named Democracy and it needed a society to be tested in. These Englishmen (Christopher Columbus) fell upon North America believing they “discovered it” even though there were already Natives living there. He colonized America because it was a huge piece of land bigger than England and in my opinion he was simply jealous and wanted white people to have the America land. So Christopher got all his white counterparts to colonize America.....
