Absolutism was a type of government where a ruler had total control of the state and its citizens. Conflicts such as the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) and the English Civil War (1642-1651) arose due to the introduction of absolutism. These conflicts changed the political landscape of Europe, shaped the future of the continent, and set the stage for modern European history.

Absolutism and conflicts in Europe shaped the modern landscape of Europe. For example, the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) ended with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, which marked the end of religious wars in Europe. The War of the Spanish Succession in 1701-1714 resulted in the transfer of the Spanish throne to the Bourbon Dynasty, which still rules Spain today. The War of Austrian Succession (1740-1748) resulted in the Pragmatic Sanction, which allowed Empress Maria Theresa to ascend to the throne as the first female ruler of the Habsburgs.
