Study Notes
Medieval Europe
- The crown held power over all lands, and protection was provided by knights and barons.
- The Bishop was the religious authority, responsible for studying spiritual matters, including the Bible.
- Peasants worked the lands to build roads and clear trees for landlords, living in terrible and unsanitary conditions.
- The Peasant Revolt occurred in 1337 in England and France, sparked by excessive taxation and expensive bills, leading to the peasants' revolt and subsequent brutal suppression.
The Black Death
- The Black Death was a pandemic that killed over 100 million people in Europe, caused by the unsanitary living conditions and the spread of diseases through flies and rats.
- The lack of scientific understanding at the time meant that diseases were not understood, and "cures" such as ripping open chests to release "bad spirits" were ineffective and often deadly.
The Rise of Spain
- Spain was initially a Muslim country, conquered by Umar-Ibn-Khattab, but was later reclaimed by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand.
- The Spanish economy declined, but was revived by Christopher Columbus's discovery of gold in the New World, leading to the establishment of colonies and a resurgence of Spanish power.
The Aztecs
- The Aztecs had three main cities: Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan.
- The Spanish arrived in 1592, bringing European diseases like Smallpox, which devastated the Aztec population.
- Hernan Cortes led the Spanish troops and was driven by the desire for gold, reflecting the Spanish motto: "Gold, Glory, God."
