For the most part, European powers were ruled by monarchies. Perhaps only in France, after the French Revolution, were governments not led by monarchs.The Renaissance helped Europe on an intellectual basis, as did the Enlightenment. If anything, the increased powers of central governments led to an awareness that growth and power could more easily be improved by developing colonial empires.
