Story
Napoleon could not have known it, but his campaign was the start of 150 years of imperialism along the Nile River, as Europeans endeavored to explore, control, and colonize the Nile River. This would bring them into all kinds of conflicts, not just with the indigenous natives residing there but also with each other, as each empire sought to get a leg up on the competition. Napoleon’s Egyptian Campaign failed in all of its objectives other than in the acquisition of knowledge.

Story
The French Revolution was a period of considerable political and social change in France that started in 1789 with the starting of the Estates General and ended in the month of November 1799 with the development of the French Consulate. Tons of its ideas are now regarded important structures of liberal democracy, while terms like liberté, égalité, and fraternité resurfaced in following revolts, which includes the 1917 Russian Revolution, and stimulated efforts to eliminate oppression and attain universal suffrage.

Story
Het tijdperk van de verlichting (ook wel het tijdperk van de factor of gewoon de verlichting genoemd) was een intellectuele en filosofische beweging in Europa in de 18e eeuw die de wereld van ideeën beheerste. De Verlichting promootte concepten als vrijheid, ontwikkeling, tolerantie, broederschap, constitutionele federale regering en scheiding van geloof en staat door zich te concentreren op het nastreven van vreugde, de soevereiniteit van de rede en het bewijs van de zintuigen als primaire bronnen van kennis.

Story
St. Petersburg's structures lie over the skeletons of the press-ganged servant workers who worked to build it, giving it the label "the city built on bones". Historians approximate that 100,000 18th-century serfs are buried underneath the city's stunning Italianate estates and large Parisian-style streets. They were drawn from all around the Russian Empire at the time. They dedicated their lives for the magnificence of Imperial Russia, and the city they built, St. Petersburg, stands as a testament to the Russian state's single-mindedness.
