England and France were evolving in the 1000s, while the Holy Roman Empire and papacy were engaged in their struggle. Strong monarchy came earlier to England than to France, and it was the English who were most successful in dictating constitutional limits on the crown.

Up until the 15th century, the way the regions in the Iberian Peninsula (Where Modern Spain is located) were structured in different kingdoms. Sometimes, these kingdoms were at war with one another, while at other times, joined together to fight a common enemy. At this time, Castile and Aragon had yet to be unified. This all changed in 1492. Most historians would agree that it wasn’t a revolt or a fight that created
Why did the French Monarchy collapse in 1792? In order to begin to answer this question it is necessary to first return to the Estates General of 1789.
