What events led to the rise of absolute monarchies and the development of centralized nation-states?

Ok, the basic idea of a nation-state is that a central government, the state, rules over a group of people who share a culture, the nation. Most of these nation-states had powerful national governments, because their people were united by nationalistic feelings. These powerful national governments were then able to do basically whatever they wanted, and since they had the authority to do so, they began expanding outward. But as Europe was already inhabited, this expansion took place in other parts of the world, namely Africa and the multitudes of islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

How did Charles I affect England?

Charles I significantly impacted England by exacerbating tensions between the monarchy and Parliament, leading to the English Civil War (1642-1651). His belief in the divine right of kings and refusal to compromise on issues of governance and taxation alienated many, contributing to a struggle for power that ultimately resulted in his execution in 1649. This event marked a turning point in English history, leading to the temporary establishment of a republican government under Oliver Cromwell and fundamentally altering the relationship between the monarchy and Parliament. Charles I's reign highlighted the conflicts over authority and governance that would shape England's political landscape for centuries.

What deal did Charles II make with Louis XIV of France?

Why was Henry Carey not king?

Henry Carey, while rumored to be the lovechild of Mary Boleyn and King Henry VIII, was not considered an heir to the throne because he was never acknowledged as Henry VIII's child, let alone a legitimate child. This is the same reason Henry Fitzroy was not considered a Tudor heir; he was produced by an affair between the King and Bessie Blount, and therefore, declared illegitimate. Both Princess Mary (daughter of King Henry and Queen Katherine) and Princess Elizabeth (daughter of King Henry and Queen Anne) were declared illegimate at one point as well. However, his last wife, Catherine Parr, convinced him to restore them as legitimate and, thus, heirs to the throne. After King Edward (son of King Henry and Queen Jane) died after a short reign, Princess Mary became Queen, but was shortly overthrown in favor of Elizabeth, who would rule for decades.
