Why did the Middle Ages end? How did the Europeans emerge from the “Dark Ages?” Recall the dates of the Middle Ages (500-1500 AD) 1347- Italian trading ships from Asia bring THE

BLACK DEATH (real name: Bubonic Plague. Called Black Death because of the purplish black boils it created on the skin.)

Carried by rats on ships. All people (due to uncleanliness) had fleas. Sewage in streets were breading grounds for more rats. Fleas jump from rats to humans and spread the disease like wildfire.

In four years, due to trade routes, the plague reached every country in Europe.

It killed 25 million Europeans, or 1 in 3 people. Meanwhile, a war between France and England

devastates Europe (The 100 Years War)

Monty Python- Bring out Your Dead

Ring around the rosy –plague begins with a red rash on cheeks

A pocketful of posies-people carried handkerchiefs with flowers under the noses,

many believed the plague was spread by “bad smells”

"Ashes, Ashes“- refers to the cremation of all the dead bodies

We all fall down!- refers to how it seemed like everyone was dying

What were the effects of the Black Plague?1. Peasants revolt all over Europe2. People lose faith in the Church- all these

prayers to stop the Plague and violent war were unanswered- where was God?

3. Those who survived wanted to celebrate- the Church could not prevent war and sickness, so the new focus is on HUMAN ACHIEVEMENT

4. THE RENAISSANCE BEGINS- “REBIRTH” A REVIVAL OF ART AND LEARNING

What are the effects of urbanization? (growing cities)Who runs politics?

trade)-Nobles (knights are now gone)-Artisans (grown popular with

Humanism)

What were the major technological contributions of the Renaissance?

The Printing Press and Telescope Printing Press- Before all books were

handwritten- this is incredibly time consuming! (Think of Book of Kells!)

Johann Gutenberg, a German, invented the printing press. The first book ever printed was a Bible.

Printing was fast and easy. Effect= books were cheap enough that regular people could buy them. Effect= Learning and literacy rates rise!

Who proved Heliocentrism Before the Renaissance the common

belief was that the earth was the center of the universe and everything revolved around it… this is known as geocentric theory

This changed when Nicolaus Copernicus mathematically proved that the sun was the center of the universe. This is known at heliocentric theory

Galileo’s Telescope Italian Renaissance thinker Galileo supported

Copernicus and the heliocentric theory. He improves on the telescope to support

Copernicus. Also makes other scientific observations including the phases of Venus

The church is very much against this teaching and had it banned

Galileo is sentenced to house arrest and forced to take back his support of the new ideas

Scientific Revolution

Renaissance includes a period known for the large amounts of scientific ideas happening. It is called the Scientific Revolution

Much of what is taking place builds on the ideas of Aristotle

Ideas

Heliocentrism Inertia Gravity This is when Newton is figuring out gravity!

Protestant Reformation

Practices and beliefs of the church were being questioned?

Does this surprise us? Why?

Mainly the practice of selling indulgences was what people were upset by.

in 1516 when Johann Tetzel, a Dominican friar was sent to Germany by Pope Leo X to sell 'indulgences' in order to raise money to rebuild St Peter's Basilica in Rome. In 1517 Martin Luther wrote a scholastic objection protesting against the Catholic church practice of indulgencies which came to be known as the 95 Theses. In the 95 Theses Luther denied that the pope had the right to forgive sins. He nailed a copy of the 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg which were subsequently translated from German into Latin and were printed and distributed across Europe leading to the Protestant Reformation.

What led to the Protestant Reformation? Humanism encouraged people to question

traditional authority (like the Church) Martin Luther is upset by the corruption of

the Catholic Church Indulgences- instead of confessing and

asking forgiveness, you could buy an indulgence aka buy your way into heaven

Martin Luther’s 95 Theses grew wildly popular and the followers of Luther broke away from the Catholic Church and became the Protestant church.
