During the Enlightenment, Roman Catholicism dominated most of Western Europe. The religion often clashed with Enlightenment ideals such as reason, individualism, and secular governance, leading to conflicts between church authorities and emerging secular leaders. Enlightenment thinkers criticized the church's influence on politics and education, advocating for separation of church and state and promoting rational thought over religious dogma. This tension contributed to significant social and political changes across the continent.

Enlightenment thinkers of Europe had a profound impact on Western culture and politics. For example, their ideas heavily influenced the American Revolution and the French Revolution, both of which were rooted in democratic ideals.
The Western Bloc during the Cold War primarily consisted of NATO member countries, with the United States and Western European nations such as the United Kingdom, France, and West Germany being prominent members. This bloc was characterized by its democratic governments and capitalist economies, opposing the Eastern Bloc, which was dominated by the Soviet Union and communist regimes. Other notable countries in the Western Bloc included Canada, Italy, and Japan.
Western European economies grew faster than Eastern European economies after World War II primarily due to differing economic systems and policies. Western Europe embraced capitalist market economies, benefiting from the Marshall Plan, which provided substantial financial aid for reconstruction and development. In contrast, Eastern Europe was dominated by Soviet-style command economies, which often stifled innovation and productivity. Additionally, political instability and repression in Eastern Europe hindered economic growth and integration with global markets.
