SUMMARY:The Short Peace Beyond the Line: Europe and the World\, 1595–1620
DESCRIPTION:–Co-sponsored by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK
 )\, University of Birmingham\, USC-Huntington Early Modern Studies Institu
 te\, UCLA Center for 17th- &amp\; 18th-Century Studies\, and UCLA William 
 Andrews Clark Memorial Library  \nBetween 1598 and 1618\, a series of int
 erlocking treaties and truces brought peace to Europe. The Civil Wars in F
 rance\, the Anglo-Spanish war\, the Dutch rebellion\, even the so-called 
 “Long War” between the Habsburgs and the Ottomans\, were temporarily\,
  if not definitively\, settled. Peace in Europe transformed the context of
  overseas commercial\, religious\, and imperial enterprises: Portuguese me
 rchants found themselves facing Dutch competition in the Indian Ocean\; th
 e Spanish saw sustained attempts by other powers to establish colonies in 
 the Americas\; while Italian Jesuits and Castilian Franciscans clashed ove
 r missionary activities in Japan. This was not merely a geographic enlarge
 ment of existing competition: rather\, relations between Europe and the wi
 der world transformed both. Indeed\, the ‘Short Peace’ in Europe was a
 lso an era of deepening global contacts between Europe and the rest of the
  world. While his predecessor celebrated his role as a European peacemaker
 \, for Pope Paul V (1605–1621)\, the outstanding achievement of his pont
 ificate (depicted in the Sala Regia of the Quirinale Palace) was the
  arrival of eight embassies from African and Asian polities. This confere
 nce examines the changing relations between Europe and the wider world
  during the era of the ‘Short Peace’. It asks: how were existing f
 orms of imperialism and global contact altered by the emergent peace? An
 d how did the global connections help reinforce or undermine the peace
  itself?\n\n\n\nProgram\n\nFriday\, January 20\, 2023\nSmith Board Room\,
