First conceived in Ancient Greece by philosopher Aristotle, aristocracy grew to be the predominant form of governmental power throughout Europe. In these medieval aristocracies, the aristocrats were chosen simply because they were considered to be the best suited to rule and lead their particular community. As societies grew larger and more economically diverse during the late Middle Ages (1300-1650 CE), people began to demand more than mere leadership from their ruling classes. In the wake of momentous events like the Hundred Years War, the Italian Renaissance, and the Wars of the Roses, virtues like bravery, nobility, morality, and civility grew more important to an individual’s social status. Eventually, the power and privilege afforded to the aristocracy became reserved for a few upstanding social leaders and military heroes.
The French Revolution in 1789 marked the beginning of the end for the world’s most powerful aristocracies as many of the aristocrats lost their lands and power. During the early 18th century, the prosperity created by the Industrial Revolution in Europe allowed many wealthy businessmen to buy their way into the aristocracy. However, as the middle class began to become more prosperous after the 1830s, more aristocrats lost their dominance over wealth, and thus, their political power.
By the end of the 19th century, aristocracies still maintained precarious political control in Great Britain, Germany, Austria, and Russia. By 1920, however, that control largely evaporated as a result of World War I.
