The greatly needed stability for the Holy Roman Empire motivated the political leaders for the undertaking of the Christian Crusades. At this time the Holy Roman Empire was a poverish and the majority of the people who were in the middle and lower class were not able to live comfortably. In addition the government was not strong enough to advance let alone support the people. The fairly new feudalist government created a separation within the classes the made the lower class serfs, Middle class knight and the upper class lords and kings fight for mobility and power. In result of this violence and chaos erupted.
Underneath the nobles and barons, there are knights that are trained from the age of 7. In return for service to the nobles and barons, they are given grants of land. The peasants and serfs are on the bottom of the social system, there are peasants who farm the land in return for shelter and protection (history.com). This compares with
The crusades impacted the way we live today in many ways. In the outcome, there were both positives and negatives associated with the crusades. It was violent, deceased many, and turned cities into ruins but it also was a job opportunity for merchants and brought many new luxuries to certain places. Some motivation for people to fight in the crusades were different than its organizers. The original reason many wanted to come fight in the crusades is that it would relieve them of all of their sins.
In the 1300's, an Italian scholar named Petrach used the term "dark ages" to describe the medieval period (Movie Talk: The Dark Ages). Petrach applied the "dark" and "light" terms to learning. Petrach believed that the Romans and Ancient Greeks were in the "light" of learning. The following period, the middle ages, was in the "dark''. Ever since he used the term, historians have been debating whether the time period between the 500's and the 1500's were really a "dark age.
From 1450 to 1700 the economy of Europe began to majorly change. Mercantilism was on the uprise which meant Europe began to focus more on their trade and commerce. This lead to many individuals to having a hard time gaining wealth because the government was doing everthing on a large scale. Many Europeans were just barely getting by. Then the poor would have to go to the extremes and beg and steal to make money for themselves.
The nobility declared they have rights to hunt on the land of peasants and they had monopolies on the ovens, wine and oil presses (Spielvogel, 555). This indicated the Europe was dominated by the powerful lords who had the large landed estate. It should be studied today because it indicated the relationship between the peasants and land owners at that time.
Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game" showed many good factors throughout including the setting, plot, and characters developement. It developed the theme of the hunter versus the hunted and had many strengths and weaknesses. The setting was well-developed and gave good explanation of the feeling and description, Connell made the setting an important factor in this story. one example is where the setting is, which was shit-trap island, what was said to be mysterious and "Sailors have a curious dread of the place.
PARAGRAPH #1: INTRO: The Crusades impacted many people and major religious groups negatively and positively from Europe to the Middle East. MAIN POINT A: Trade in science, ideas, and goods (positively/to West)
There are four different powers. Political, economic, military, and religious are all effective in our lives. The two forms of power that have been most effective throughout history are economic and political. These two powers are important because economic power had to do with all the trade that was doing now and political power since someone had to control the land and the people. First effective form of power is economic.
New Forms of Social Organization and Modes of Production ------------------ How did agriculture’s role change between 1450-1750? What pre-requisite conditions made these changes possible? 4.2.I How did labor systems develop between 1450-1750? 4.2.I.A How was peasant labor affected between 1450-1750?
Workers who pleaded for higher wages could be sent to prison as a punishment. The towns couldn't afford to pay their workers good money because there was very little money coming into Europe because trade ceased due to the plague (councilforeconed). The middle ages economy went through sudden and destructive inflation. Since it was so difficult (and dangerous) to keep goods fresh during trade, let alone to produce them, the prices of both goods produced locally and those imported from other countries went through the roofs (brown). Europe had enjoyed nearly 200 years of prosperity, and then had to spend 70 years suffering.
People found that it was cheaper to live in the city, for it was closer to most people's work. This attracted immigrants from all over weather it was to escape the political or religious injustice in their country or to just find a job. The
The early modern period was seen as a time of intense social and economic change as there was a shift of the economic centre of Europe from Italy to north-western Europe. A major part of this involved the migration of people from one region to another. The process of migration involved the movement of people from one location to another in order to settle in a new place of residence. Even before the industrial period, it was typical behaviour for Europeans to move from their home and take on the role of a farm servant, annually rotating between areas. This was particularly true within the framework of young, rural communities.
One of the focal points of out little town was that it had its own
The now rich soil brought about by the agricultural revolution let the crops give the nutrients which helped peasants withstand childbirth and live longer, leading to an increase in population. Since the Europeans were able to feed their families from the excess food, it allowed them to find time to learn new trades and develop new skills. The businesses increased from the expansion of the population of those living in cities and towns. They were given land from the king through an agreement called a charter.
