First sentence: Medieval and modern European history can be conceived as a coherent sequence of developments or transformations with a number of caesurae which were important for the whole of Europe, as for example the Reformation or the French Revolution, and a whole series a minor caesurae with specific meanings for the history of individual European countries.
