Christianity in the early modern period

In general, historians generally place the end of the Middle Ages at the Fall of Constantinople in 1453. For Church history, many historians prefer to place it at the beginning of the Reformation ca. 1517—1525 (usually rounded down to 1500) and ending in the late 18th century with the onset of the Industrial Revolution and the events leading up to the French Revolution of 1789. This category is for events, periods, and people of Christian history from about 1500 to 1800 AD.
