Is there any book that really summarises Europe's intermingled history in the last millennium well?

by Hydrofunkroschlup

I want a book that starts around 1000 and really explains the development, interactions and fall of various major powers.

How does France become the power it was under Louis XIV? Why did Spain end up in the Netherlands? Who were the Bourbons?

This kind of thing, decade by decade, 1000 to around the start of the 20th century

I could read about the 7 Years War, but of course the context for that is another book... etc... ad nauseum

Is there any book that gives an overview?

I remember this from my ap euro class. It misses out a little bit but it does go over stuff before 1300. Hope this helps.

Edit: 1300 to modern day
