@andrew I don’t mean to be a smart ass or to be patronizing, but have you tried your local library and reading actual books; perhaps the local university or college library?
You’re talking about hundreds of years of history, of dozens of countries whose borders have changed; who have been a gazillion wars fought and hundreds of years of economic, social, cultural history; each “European” country has a long, complex and unique history.
People seem to expect too much from Wikipedia, I think. It’s an encyclopedia, it, like all encyclopedias, is not meant to be the be all and end all of your research and knowledge. Encyclopedias are there to give you an overview, to point you in the direction of further research; they are not an end in themselves.
What aspects of 17th and 18th century European history are you interested in? You just need to seek out reputable scholars, reputable historians and read what they have to say, then read other historians and kind of figure it out for yourself.
It’s a lot of work, trying to become knowledgeable and well read in 18th and 19th century European history, and no, you’re not going to do it by reading Wikipedia entries or any other encyclopedia entries
