Home›The Early Modern World›LocationBrowse ByLocationThis dimension names the place where a historical event actually occurred. Wikipedia notes that some branches of history "concentrate on particular geographic regions, such as the history of Africa," reflecting how tightly a specific event is tied to its own location. Browsing this way collects every event that took place in the same location.FactsLocationSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonStart YearWell-attested1500 CE 1End YearWell-attested1800 CE 1LocationFilter Results19 entriesEvent TypeAllCultural or Religious Event (1)Economic Event (4)Military Conflict (12)Political Event (5)Scientific or Technological Event (3)Group TreeAllEvents of Exploration and Reformation, 1454 to 1599 (8)Events of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries, 1600 to 1788 (13)EraAllThe Age of Discovery (1)The Early Modern Period (19)The Late Modern Period (2)Event Era (Year)All1440 (1)1492 (1)1497 (2)1519 (2)1521 (1)1526 (1)1529 (1)1532 (1)1562 (1)1568 (2)1600 (1)1618 (5)1635 (1)1637 (1)1639 (2)1641 (1)1642 (1)1688 (1)1740 (4)1760 (2)1765 (1)1775 (3)1786 (1)1787 (1)ParticipantsAllAtahualpa (1)Benjamin Franklin (3)Charles I of England (1)Daniel Shays (1)Ferdinand Magellan (1)Francisco Pizarro (1)George Washington (4)Henry the Navigator (2)Hernan Cortes (1)James II of England (1)Johannes Gutenberg (1)Maria Theresa (4)Martin Luther (1)Mary II of England (1)Moctezuma II (1)Oliver Cromwell (2)Peter Bulkeley (1)Suleiman the Magnificent (1)Thomas Jefferson (3)Tokugawa Ieyasu (1)Vasco da Gama (2)William III of Orange (1)William the Silent (2)Participating StatesAllDelhi Sultanate (1)Electorate of Bavaria (4)England (1)Grand Duchy of Tuscany (1)Holy Roman Empire (2)Ireland (1)Joseon (5)Kingdom of England (1)Kingdom of Portugal (2)Kingdom of Sardinia (4)Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel (3)Ottoman Empire (1)Scotland (1)Spain (1)Spanish Empire (3)Swedish Empire (1)Admission YearAll1788 (2)Area (sq km)All40.25 (1)14,356 (1)27,363 (1)239,681 (1)3,300,000 (1)4,000,000 (1)4,545,792 (1)6,142,700 (1)9,866,632 (1)10,186,000 (1)11,840,000 (1)17,840,000 (1)24,709,000 (1)30,370,000 (1)44,579,000 (1)Climate ZoneAllTemperate (2)CoastalAllYes (1)Country CountAll12 (1)23 (1)44 (1)49 (1)54 (1)Dissolution or End YearAll1707 (1)1795 (1)Elevation BandAllLowland (1)Sea Level (1)Founding YearAll1180 (1)Founding Year Range EndAll1185 (1)Founding Year Range StartAll1175 (1)Government TypeAllRepublic (1)Highest Elevation (m)All5642 (1)5895 (1)6190 (1)6967 (1)8849 (1)Income GroupAllHigh (1)Independence or Founding YearAll927 (1)1581 (1)1776 (1)LandlockedAllNo (1)PopulationAll84,646 (1)208,100 (1)3,688,496 (1)7,154,084 (1)44,200,000 (1)75,000,000 (1)82,000,000 (1)340,587,000 (1)434,254,119 (1)468,200,000 (1)592,296,233 (1)675,800,000 (1)745,173,774 (1)1,393,676,444 (1)1,600,000,000 (1)4,694,576,167 (1)Time ZoneAllUTC+00:00 (1)UTC+01:00 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 19AfricaLocation1 entryThe AndesLocation1 entryAsiaLocation6 entriesThe CaribbeanLocation1 entryCentral AsiaLocation1 entryConnecticutLocation1 entryDutch RepublicLocation1 entryEast AsiaLocation1 entryEuropeLocation15 entriesKingdom of EnglandLocation1 entryThe Low CountriesLocation1 entryMassachusettsLocation1 entryNorth AmericaLocation5 entriesPortsmouthLocation1 entrySouth AmericaLocation1 entrySoutheast AsiaLocation1 entryUnited StatesLocation1 entryWest AfricaLocation1 entryWormsLocation1 entrySources1.
