Crusades were basically a raid, Crusaders would go on a long journey just to fight, sneak attacks, and the results of the crusades was either more negative or positive which is our important question.

The medieval warfare was about the Crusades, and during the Crusades, the Western people interacted with the Eastern people, and because of this, they socially and economically influenced each other. The new technologies, science, foods, goods, and other norms began to enter the Western World from the Eastern World. Because of this, the Papacy began to lose its power over the tyrants that it was monarchic governments. “Monarchs gradually won the struggle with the greater feudal lords.” The royal power became superior to the Papacy.…
When we look at Religious Europe in the 16th century and the 19th century, we see a completely drastic change. In the 16th century the two main religions were Catholicism, which was a deviation from Christianity, and Protestantism, which came with a reformation started by Martin Luther while trying to turn the Catholic Church back to its foundations which were Christianity. About a century later came what was known as absolutism. It was the kind of government in which the king had absolute and unlimited power under the excuse that God had stated him and he had “divine right”. Absolutism started in 1661 with Louis XIV, or the “Sun King”, in France.…
The city of Mecca interacted with the bedouin tribes that lived in the desert areas around it by establishing a food and caravan trade system. Mecca also became a ground for establishing peace between feuding clans. Islam first arose when Muhammad constructed the Qur’an through the words of Allah. Once he was finished with the Qur’an, Muhammad preached the words to his clan.…
Politics and the Wars of Religion By: Phillip Ableidinger, Jin Johnson, and Matthew Kellen “Discuss the relationship between politics and religion by examining the wars of religion. Choose three specific examples from the following: the Dutch Revolt, the French wars of religion, the English Civil war, and the Thirty Years’ war.” Politics and religion have for long been two sides of the same coin. Although it’s easy to dismiss their relationship as desultory or ineffectual, it has jointly wielded considerable power on the geopolitical stage; perhaps even single handedly changing the course of modern European history. The partnership between church and state cannot be understated, having been the main cause of power-struggles, societal collapse and power shifts throughout the 16th and 17th centuries.…
People believe that fighting for what you believe is the right path to take while others think that rebellion is not necessary-dialogue is the key to peaceful agreements. Rebellion has been part of society since hundreds years ago. Rebellion is linked to the word “Independence”, over the years humanity has been fighting to earn independence on their spiritual beliefs, political views and women’s rights. Therefore, rebellion is full of combativeness towards the opposite party, in order to prove your position you fight with all you have. Individuals have been fighting since 11th century, battles were formed called Crusades.…

Populations of cities plummeted. With no strict ruler, a new political system emerged out of the discord, feudalism. Feudalism is a political system where outlying peasants will work for a central lord in return for their safety and for land. Manorialism was a part of feudalism where there would be one central ‘manor’ where the lord would reside and the outlying lands, his fiefs, would be held by his people. With this political change, many new cultural changes occurred as a result.…
Changes in object can be quite observable, making the changes occurring in an object pretty straight forward. For example, if you drop the glass, it breaks down into little pieces. Dropping the glass on the surface was the reason. By glass hitting the surface, the energy gave power that is too much for glass to maintain itself causing the breakdown. However, changes in histories are not that simple.…
The Middle Ages. It was a time known as the dark ages in European history. Just like today, the people living in this time period loved to be able to party, have fun, and go a little crazy, and that’s just what they had done. At these fun festivities that most of the village attended, there was drinking, games, and many professional performances. With the amazing variety of clothing and the weird ways to present food, the people living in the Middle Ages attempted to have the time of their lives on any available occasion whether it was a holiday on a calendar, or just a fundraiser, and usually they always succeeded.…
Life was a harsh reality for the Europeans who were peasants from the fifth to fifteenth century. In the Middle Ages, the livelihood of a person depended on their rank. The Feudal System set up the entire society for the people. Unfortunately the peasants fell under one of the last categories in this ranking system. This system was, according to dictionary.com, “the political, military, and social system in the Middle Ages, based on the holding of lands in fief or fee and on the resulting relations between lord and vassal.”…
When we think of “Medieval England” we think about guys in armor suits, royalty ruling cruelly over their land and servants, and among other things, farms. However, medieval England- and medieval europe for that matter -isn’t that far from our own society today. We actually inherit many of the things that were created in the medieval times, such as the basic structure of land tenure that we now see as renting. Society in the Middle Ages may appear to be much different than ours today, but in reality these societies share much in common. To start off, we'll talk about feudalism.…
