Abstract

The academic community generally believes that world modernization is a major transformation of human society from agricultural civilization to industrial civilization, first appearing in the form of capitalism. Capitalism originated in Western Europe and emerged from feudal societies in Western Europe. Therefore, it can also be said that world modernization originated in Western Europe. But the modernization of Western Europe did not emerge out of thin air. Therefore, it is necessary to review the history of Western Europe from a long lens of history, and then discover where the modernization of Western Europe originated and why it took place first in Western Europe.
