Most of the Crusaders who fought were either Christians or Knights from other empires. After, the Crusades there were many effects, whether Political or Economic, or Socially. Three effects of the Crusades that stood out to me the most were; that the Crusades lessened the power of the Pope Urban II, to me that showed me a Political Effect, another effect of the Crusades was that it weakened feudal nobility, to me that seemed like an Economic Effect. The final effect of the Crusades that I chose was that after the holy war came more trade and that effect led to cultural diffusion and that also led to riches, to me that was an Economic effect. With my three chosen effects they all changed the world or the course of history in a way.
France got affected economically which made the people of France lose hope on monarch. The enlightenment was a more important cause because without that the people would have not thought the American Revolution as a big turning point. The critical thinking that the enlightenment bought about caused the people to look at it from another
It’s said that the first crusade created Latin states on the holy land. Looking at my research I honestly feel as if the Crusades had a good impact on European economy. The population seemed to decrease because of the wars and diseases, but the wealth of the people and the church increased. Although the trading of Egypt and Pisa were destroyed due to war the merchant cities still benefited from the trading rights in the Latin East. As I read deeper into different websites I began to notice they all were saying the taxes in the crusades went back to the church but as I read into my research I learned the crusaders were taxed only to finance their new way of living but that doesn't mean the economy went bad; it actually blossomed from the
Intellectuals began to think that the new era of Renaissance was a time to liberate away from the superstitious times of the Middle Ages and to recognize the declining power of the Roman Catholic Church. Over time many events or turning points have occurred. Along with the Crusades and Renaissance period come the Neolithic Revolution and many other life altering periods where new beliefs and ideas have changed things forever. They have given people new ways of life based on their prior surroundings. And with
Towards the end of the war however, people had problems with supporting the war when there was national problems which should be dealt with instead of the war. The horrible situation in Britain by 1902 was reflected in economy, health, education and poverty problems. This was the focus of the Liberal party, and they therefore got increasingly popular. Firstly, the motive of the war is the main reason for why one may argue that the popular enthusiasm did decline as a result of the Boer War. Imperialism was seen as more and more capitalism.
While figures such as Louis IX and Jean de Joinville were motivated by the actions of their predecessors, further Christians felt compelled to join the crusading movement as they believed in the idea of the crusade as a ‘penance rewarded by the indulgence.’[3] The political climate of Western Europe in 1245 did not, however, favour the implementation of a new crusade. While Italy and Germany were torn by the conflict which existed between the emperor and the pope, King Henry III of England and his barons were tied up in a
Religious freedom, a right I think everyone should possess, was almost always abridged. Another thing I didn’t like about the Middle Ages is the fact that people really didn’t have adequate knowledge to think critically about issues. When a powerful figure said something, the people would take it as law, and did not question it. A person could be criminally prosecuted for simply going against Church teachings. An example is when Galileo challenged the belief that all things in the solar system orbit the Earth.
TO WHAT EXTENT WOULD YOU ARGUE THAT THE REFORMATION WAS ADIRECT OUTCOME OF THE RENAISSANCE? GROUP 9 Renaissance is a very strong movement that awakened Europe to a new interest in literature, art, science and the change from medieval to modern aims and methods of thought. At the dawn of renaissance the people’s attitudes, thinking and actions were no longer influenced by the church. This led to the uncontrollable behaviour which prompted some church leaders and humanists to advocate for the reforms. This write up is an assessment of whether the reformation was a direct outcome of renaissance in Europe.
Religion was part of the society and life. The high members of the church had more power than normal religious leaders. For example, because people feared hell and that church was getting its power from God, people were afraid to break the laws of the church. The church started collecting taxes and accepting indulgence from the people to forgive their sins. One of the key conflicts in the medieval world was between the Christian West and the Muslim East.
The changes were Europe’s craving hunger for knowledge and the Church’s decline in power. The end of the Middle ages was mostly in part due to deplorable wars such as the Crusades, the Peasant Revolt, and due to significant ambition for knowledge among the individuals of Europe and the decline in the Church’s power. Long, bloody, and brutal expeditions also known as the Crusades, greatly impacted the end of the Middle Ages due to the chaotic disorder and bedlam it caused as well as the newfound finance and trade markets it brought. War is never a good thing for a country, and a prolong war such as the Crusades did bring disorder to Europe. Many lives were lost and those who came back were spiritually and mentally affected and placed in asylums.
