2- How did language change?
3- How did religion and philosophy change?
4- How did the government change?
To learn what they wanted to know, the rulers of Japan decided to send representatives to China and Korea to gather information about their cultures. The emperors hoped that these people could teach the Japanese new ways of working and thinking.
One of the first things the Japanese learned from China and Korea was language. The early Japanese didn’t have a written language. Therefore, many learned to write in Chinese. They continued to speak in Japanese, however, which is very different from Chinese. It wasn’t until about 200 years later that people devised a way of writing in Japanese. They used Chinese characters to represent the sounds used in Japanese.
As regent, Shotoku saw a chance for Japan to adopt more Chinese ideas. He sent scholars to China to learn all they could about Chinese society. The ideas these scholars brought back changed Japanese society. For example, they taught the Japanese about Confucianism. Confucianism changed family life. Also japan followed the religion of Zen Buddism. Buddhism change the way people worshiped. The poor wanted to continue the religion of Shintoism because they were not educated,
Shotoku also wanted to change Japan’s government to be more like China’s. He especially wanted Japan’s emperors to have more power, like China’s emperors did.Afraid that they would lose power to the emperor, many clan leaders opposed Shotoku’s government plans. As a result, Japan’s emperors gained little power.

Geography Shapes Life
Most people in northern Europe lived farther from the sea. They still had access to the sea, however, through northern Europe’s rivers. Because rivers were an easy method of transportation, towns grew up along them. Rivers also provided protection.
In the fields around cities, farmers grew all sorts of crops. These fields were excellent farmlands, but the flat land also made an easy route for invaders to follow. No mountains blocked people’s access to northern Europe, and as a result, the region was frequently invaded.
In southern Europe, most people lived on coastal plains or in river valleys where the land was flat enough to farm. People grew crops like grapes and olives that could survive the region’s dry summers.
In the mountains where the land was steep or rocky, people raised sheep and goats.Because southern Europe has many peninsulas, people there don’t live far from the sea. As a result, many became traders and seafarers
Most of northwestern Europe, in contrast, has a mild and cooler, wetter climate. Cold winds from the north and northeast can bring freezing weather in winter.
Freezing weather is much more common in Scandinavia, though. That region is very cold throughout the year. Snow falls for much of the year, and few plants can survive the region’s cold climates.
southern Europe is largely warm and sunny. As a result, shrubs and trees that don’t need a lot of water are common there.
You can see these hills and mountains in the northern part of the British Isles and in Scandinavia
As you can see on the map, this plain stretches all the way from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Ural Mountains in the east. In the past, this huge expanse of land was covered with thick forests. Many types of trees grew well in the plain’s rich, fertile soils.
The Northern European Plain is also the location of most of Europe’s major rivers.If you travel even farther north from the Northern European Plain, the land starts to rise again. Far northern Europe has many rugged hills and low mountains.
Many people looked to the sea and lands beyond for the resources they need.
Many people in cold, snowy Scandinavia have settled on the coast.

Peasants/Serfs Workers who were tied to the land on which they lived Manorialism An estate under a lord who has rights over the land and the tenants including the peasants and serfs Allegiances Loyalty to a person country, group or belief Monarch A person such as a king or queen who rules kingdom or empire Lords An owner in property who has gotten that as payment for allegiance to a person of higher status Vassal A knight who promised to support a lord in exchange for land
Feudalism and Manor lifeWhy were Frankish kings unable to defend their empire against invaders?
What led to the creation of feudalism?
How could a noble be both a lord and a vessel?
When the Vikings, Magyars, and Muslims began their raids in the 800s, the Frankish kings were unable to defend their empire. Their army was too slow to defend against the lightning-fast attacks of their enemies. Because they couldn’t depend on protection from their kings, nobles had to defend their own lands. As a result, the power of nobles grew, and kings became less powerful.
Feudalism was first created by the Franks. Before long the system began to spread into other kingdoms. In the 1000s, Frankish knights introduced feudalism into northern Italy, Spain, and Germany. Feudalism then spread into eastern Europe. Feudalism also reached Britain in the 1000s. It was brought there by a French noble named William, who was the duke of Normandy in northern France. In 1066, he decided to conquer England. William and his knights sailed into England and defeated the English king in a battle near the town of Hastings. After winning the battle, William declared himself the new king of England. He became known as William the Conqueror. To reward his knights for their part in the victory, William gave them large estates of land in his new country. This was the beginning of feudalism in England. In return for the land, a knight promised to support the noble in battle or in other matters.A knight who promised to support a lord in exchange for land was called a vassal.The vassal swore that he would always remain loyal to his lord. Historians call this system of promises that governed the relationships between lords and vassalsfeudalism.
The ties between lords and vassals were the heart of feudalism. Each group had certain responsibilities toward the other. A lord had to send help to his vassals if an enemy attacked. In addition, he had to be fair toward his vassals. He couldn’t cheat them or punish them for no reason. If a lord failed to do what he was supposed to, his vassals could break all ties with him. When a lord went to war, he called on his vassals to fight with him. But fighting wasn’t a vassal’s only duty. For example, vassals had to give their lords money on special occasions, such as when a lord’s son became a knight or when his daughter got married. A vassal also had to give his lord food and shelter if he came to visit. If a vassal gained enough land, he could become a lord. In this way a person might be both a lord and a vassal.

Popes and Kings
What words indicate pope Gregory's view that the church has more power than merchants do?
Who wrote the two letters and when were they written?
To whom were they written?
Why do the writers matter to history?
"Does anyone doubt that the priest are to be considered as father and masters of kings and princes of all believers" he believed popes not kings got their power from god.
They were written by Pope Gregory VII and to Emperor Henry IV. The letters were written in 1076 and 1081.
They were written to Bishop Of Metz and to Emperor Henry IV.
The writers matter because they show you the thoughts of the leaders from that time. It shows you the thought and feeling about certain matters.
Popes and Kings
What causes Gregory and Henry's power struggle?
Why did Leo IX believe that all church officials should answer to him?
What might have happened if LeoIX had not excommunicated the bishop of Constantinople?
What compromise solved the conflict over who had the right to choose bishop?
Why do you think a king would want to select the bishop himself?
Gregory and Henry's power struggled because Gregory didn't think that Henry had the authority to rule. Henry became angry and asked Germany's bishop to remove Gregory, as a result Gregory excommunicated Henry. They both wanted so much power that they would do anything, this caused them to struggle with their power.
Leo IX thought all church officials should answer to him because he was the pope. He stated that the first pope, saint peter, had been the leader of all church officials and later popes should rule as well.
If Leo had not excommunicated the bishop that the king appointed the Orthodox Church may have never formed.
The compromise that formed allowed the church officials to choose all bishops and abbots, but the bishops ans abbots would still have to obey the emperor.
The king wanted to select the bishop because it would make him feel more powerful, and the bishop would be loyal to king not the pope.

Politics in Europe also changed. Some kings increased their power because many nobles and knights had died in the Holy Land.
Trade between Europe and Asia grew.
Europeans who went to the Holy Land learned about products such as apricots, rice, and cotton cloth.

Europe in 1000 was divided into many small states. Most of these states were ruled by kings, some of whom had little real power.
Popes had great spiritual power, and kings had political power.
The popes had wanted the church to be in charge of all the Crusades. Instead, rulers and nobles took control.

June 19, 1347 Dear diary, My name is Elizabeth Spears. I am the princess of England. I live in the middle of a small town,in a huge castle. Yesterday we received word that people in the town are starting to turn black and die. That is very scary, I hope that whatever is infecting them does not get into the castle. My father says that we are safe but I am not sure..... Love, Princess Lizzie June 21, 1347 Dear diary, Today father went out of the castle to meet with a local merchant. When he came back to the castle he said that it was worse than everyone thought. I am worried about my father, since he went out today he could get the disease! I hope he does not get sick..... Love, Princess Lizzie June 22, 1347 Dear Diary, My father got the disease, he has black boobos all over him. I am sleeping in his room beside his bead. I hope he doesn't die. My mother says that I will get sick if I stay near him but I just cannot leave. I hope he does not die... Love, Princess Lizzie June 23,1347 Dear diary, I am having my mother write this. My father had died and i am now infected. I have black all over me. My father died in about a day, that means I will be dead by tomorrow. I am so scared! This will be my last entry. I love you all..... Love, Princess Lizzie
Black History Christian reactions
Church officials sent priests and friars throughout Europe to find possible heretics. M
ost of these priests and friars tried to be fair. A few
tortured people until they confessed to heresy, even if they were innocent. M
ost people found guilty in these trials w
ere fined or put in prison. Others w
ere killed. Pope Innocent III decided that heresy was too great a threat to ignore.
He called a crusade against heretics in southern France. W
ith this call, the pope encouraged the king of France and his knights to rid their country of heretics. The result w
as a bloody war that lasted about 20 years.
For centuries, the kingdoms of northern Spain had been sm
all and weak. But as the M
oors’ power declined, these
little Christian kingdom
s seized the opportunity to attack. Slowly, they took land aw
ay from the M
oors. They called their efforts to retake Spain from
the Moors the reconquest. In 1085 C
astile, the largest of the Spanish kingdoms,
won a great victory against the M
oors. The Castilian victory inspired other C
hristian kingdoms to fight the M
oors. The kingdom
s of Aragon and Portugal soon joined the fight. The Christian arm
ies won victory after victory. By the
1250s, the victorious Christian arm
ies had nearly pushed the Moors com
pletely out of Europe.
European Jews also suffered. This suffering w
as caused by Christians w
ho believed that the Jews had been responsible
for the death of Jesus. These Christians thought Jew
s should be punished.Rulers, supported by the church, forced Jew
s to leave their countries. For exam
ple, in 1290, the king of England arrested all English Jews and forced them
to leave the country.
