European Influence

European influence refers to the impact that European countries and their cultures, economies, and political systems have had on the world, particularly during and after the Age of Exploration and colonialism. This influence includes the spread of languages, such as English, Spanish, and French, the adoption of European legal and political ideas, and the significant impact on art, science, and technology. Europe's colonial empires shaped many regions, but this influence has also led to complex interactions, including cultural exchange and conflict, and has played a pivotal role in global history, shaping modern societies and international relations.
