🏰 History ATC #3: Modern History 1/3 🏰

In this swap you will create one standard sized ATC for your partner.

🗿 Theme: Early Modern Period of Modern History (1500-1750)! Anything from any of those years, centuries and decades is allowed, from any corner of the Earth. Can't think of anything specific because the time frame in question is kind of enormous? Here's some early modern history for inspiration:

• The Renaissance (Europe, 1300s-1600s)
• Age of Discovery (Europe, 1500s-1700s)
• Elizabethan period (England, 1558-1603)
• Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1569-1795)
• House of Bourbon (France, 1589-1792)
• Qing dynasty (China, 1644-1912)
• The Age of Enlightenment (Europe, 1700s)
• What was your country up to during these years?
