More then Just a coincidence..

In regarding the fact that the absolute rulers were arising in all of these different places, I believe that it was more than just a coincidence.

Throughout all the listed places there was huge political problems that alos resulted in religious and other types of wars. In ways of uniting the states they looked to Absolutism, finding it very practical and what they thought would work. As society started to become more and more organized a leader..well a stronger one at that..was felt needed. I think there was certainly similar responses with absolutism and that was not just a coincidence. It was a great theme and pattern throughout Europe that created a new dramatic style.
