Between 1490 and 1750, the western world was in constant change in beliefs and practices. People were discovering much more about themselves and the world around them. During this time interval, we saw great changes and shifts in beliefs. We saw these in many of the large movements such as the Enlightenment, the Protestant Revolution, and the Scientific Revolution.
