This was not fair as the peasants didn’t have enough money as it was, before they had to pay money to the Church and Nobles. By the time the peasants had paid all of their taxes, they just about had enough money to feed themselves and their families, which meant no luxuries. They were working so hard and yet they didn’t get the money they deserved for doing it. The Revolution changed this. Peasants no longer had to pay taxes to the Church and Nobles, which meant that they didn’t have to just scrape by life, they could enjoy it.
Politics and reasoning was also greatly affected by the reforms. With the increase of scientific knowledge, the nation became anti-clerical and religious organizations lost power. The reforms brought a new form of government with the emergence of capitalism and steered away from the religious monarchy that was present. Spain eventually claimed independence, and Central America was no longer run by the Bourbon's but now by Spain only. The administrative control, now under Spanish rule had four intendancies: Chiapas, Honduras, Salvador, and
Francesca Ogilvie Mr. Morningstar M&C History August 29, 2012 In what ways did the Renaissance move Europe away from the medieval and toward the modern? Did the Renaissance help Europe develop and flourish as it is today? The Renaissance was a great era that opened up a chance of progress, and therefore modernization, for Europe. Although it begun in Italy, over a short period of time it had made it’s way to the north and then, eventually, influenced the world in many ways. The Renaissance came after the devastating Dark Ages; where Europe lost 25 million people to the Black Death, and many lost the ability to read and write (“The Black Death”).
Over-production – Fewer products such as cars, consumer good etc were not being sold as factories were making more goods than Americans needed or could afford to buy. As the number of sells went down, the prices of goods also went down which meant that wages had to be kept low. When this did not work, industrialists had to resort to sacking workers, and because the workers did not have any more money, they could not afford luxury so factories continued to
The fact that Italy had a very limited industry and lack of an efficient infrastructure also meant that hardly any money was being created to pump into the economy to keep it running or pay for these debts. This subsequently led to high inflation, increased taxes and no money being spent on education or public services. Another major economic problem under the liberal regime was the north south divide. The fact that Italy’s economy was poor was only made worse by the north south divide in the country; this divide was to do with agriculture, industrial development and general standards of living. All of which the north fared in much better than the south.
But they knew that they couldn’t rely on that army so the emperors raised all of the taxes because hiring the army was expensive. The military have gotten treats from northern european tribes. The military also got low funds for defense. The military got problems recruting roman citzens and recruting of non-romans. The military was declined of patriotism and loyalty among soldiers.
Our international trade with Europe declined because of that. Europe was productive in industry and agriculture. This caused their demand for American goods to slow, and since Europe had obtained a major debt from the war, they were not capable of paying back American banks the large sums of money that they had previously borrowed. Even though they had planned to pay America back, they couldn’t. Their plan was to use the money they were going to receive from Germany and Austria, but the Central powers never followed through.
(Robson, 1992)” However, reviewing the economical, social and political issues this was not to be. After the Unification of Italy in 1870, despite some modernisation occurring, the country still fell behind the other major powers of Europe. The state of the Italian economy was a major problem facing the new Kingdom. It was in huge debt that it had inherited from the states that had been unified to make Italy. The Liberal’s did nothing to make it look like they would attempt to transform the economy, which remained backward and unprepared for World War 1.
As traditional art forms had become outdates due to industrialization. It seems like the term “modernism” has been a conflicting term in the academic world. This is because the term “modernism” acquires a different scope and penetration in each different academic discipline. The inception of modern music typically located at the close of the 19th century, while to talk modern in English literature is to focus upon a relatively highly influential body of work produced in the first two decades of the 20th century. In the history of art, on the other hand, the student of modernism can expect to run a gamut from the French painting of the 1860s to the American art of a century later and may even be directed as far back as the later 18th century (Modernism, 2003).
The emergence of modernism came about in the shadow of two events that changed European society. The french and industrial revolution were the two events that shaped the years leading up to the modernist era. These two events influenced the modern era by extreme change and upheaval from traditional ways of life. The French Revolution began in 1789 and ended in 1799 after the decline of powerful monarchies and the rise of democracy. Throughout the french revolution, radical and social upheaval affected french society.
