I was just gonna use that word - the 19th century in a fascinating period say from 1815-1914. Freemasons and Illuminati? It was treated much the same way its treated today - a whacked out conspiracy theory. And you need to be careful cause it leads up to the ''Protocols of the Wise Elders of Zion'' aka ''Warrant for Genocide''.

To understand the non-democratic [[feudal]] society that existed in Europe between 1815-1914, you actually need [[Machiavelli]] (from 3 centuries earlier). Read the first sentence of the ''The Prince''; in the 18th century, Europe had a growing population, it was more urbanized, less agricultural workers, more tradesman and craftsmen, yet their governments remained principalities ruled by noble bloodlines with bureaucracies that couldn't really handle a growing population. People had no rights, like freedom of the press, jury trial, etc. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Give Peace a Chance!'']]</sup> 01:48, September 26, 2023 (EDT)
