Breakouts in the Medieval Period (MAPEH)
The document summarizes the Middle Ages period from 500 AD to 1500 AD. It was a time of constant warfare in Europe following the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Local kings vied for power during this unstable period. Some significant events included Richard the Lionheart becoming King of England, the rise of the Mongol Empire under Genghis Khan, Marco Polo's famous travels to Asia, and Joan of Arc being executed for her role in the Hundred Years' War. The Ottoman Empire also captured Constantinople during this era. Inventions like the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg and outbreaks of plague like the Black Death impacted Europe. Leonardo Da Vinci also famously painted "The Last Supper" during this period
Absolutism
- Wars of the 16th century pitted Protestants against Catholics across Europe from 1560 to 1650. Monarchs sought stability through absolutism and the divine right of kings.
- In France, Calvinism and Catholicism had become militant religions fighting for converts, fueling the French Wars of Religion from 1560-1589. The Edict of Nantes in 1598 granted Huguenots religious freedom.
- King Philip II of Spain strongly supported militant Catholicism and fought to prevent the spread of Protestantism, battling the English and Dutch. However, Spain's costly wars bankrupted the nation, and real power shifted to England under Queen Elizabeth I.
21.2 frances ultimate monarch
King Louis XIV ruled France from 1643 to 1715, the longest reign in European history. He centralized power around himself by weakening the nobility and strengthening the monarchy. Louis pursued policies like mercantilism that made France economically and militarily powerful, though debt increased from his lavish lifestyle and wars. By his death, France was the dominant force in Europe.
The northern renaissance
The Northern Renaissance spread humanist ideas from Italy to Northern Europe through war, trade, travel, and the new printing press technology. Ideas were adapted to local tastes and needs. French architecture blended Gothic and classical styles in grand chateaux. Trade with Italy exposed Northern elites to humanism, growing an educated middle class. Desiderius Erasmus was the most important Northern thinker, advocating education and Christian reform. Painters like Van Eyck, Durer, and Brueghel blended Italian and Northern styles across portraits, landscapes, and scenes of everyday life.
Spanish Empire
The Spanish Empire document discusses several key periods and events:
1) In 1525, King Charles I achieved victory at the Battle of Pavia, surprising many Italians and Germans and increasing concerns about his growing power.
2) Portugal required large occupation forces to maintain control, while Spain was still recovering from bankruptcy in 1576. The assassination of Dutch resistance leader William the Silent in 1584 was hoped to end the war but did not.
3) The Spanish Golden Age was a period of flourishing in arts and literature coinciding with the rise and decline of the Spanish Habsburg dynasty between 1492 and 1659. The influential painter Diego Velázquez cultivated relationships with King Philip IV and

This document provides background information on European exploration and colonization in the 15th-16th centuries. It discusses the Spanish and Portuguese empires in the Americas, financed by funds confiscated from Spanish Jews forced out by the Inquisition. The Treaty of Tordesillas divided control of the new world between Spain and Portugal. It also notes the near elimination of the indigenous population in Mexico within a century due to warfare, famine, disease and lower birth rates, reducing the population by 90%. French colonialism focused on fur trading while English colonialism began through slavery and plunder.
Shakespeare
Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright during the Elizabethan era in the 16th century. He was educated at King's New School in Stratford and wrote famous plays such as Macbeth, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, and The Merchant of Venice. Elizabethan society was stratified between the wealthy noble families and lords at the top and poor laborers and apprentices at the bottom, with gentry landowners in between. Elizabethan theaters had open-air stages and audiences had to stand throughout plays performed during daylight hours due to lack of lighting technology.
LOUIS XIV
1) Louis XIV became King of France at the age of five and believed in the divine right of kings, earning him the nickname "Sun King".
2) As a child, Louis XIV's power was challenged by a revolt from nobles opposed to his chief minister Cardinal Mazarin's rule.
3) Louis XIV later built the grand palace of Versailles in order to strengthen his absolute power by surrounding himself with luxury and using it as a symbol of France's greatness under his rule.

19 20. int. baroque and rococo
The French Academy ranked classical art forms over romantic art forms. Its purpose was to standardize art instruction through a hierarchical system overseen by Jean-Baptiste Colbert. It promoted a compromise between baroque and classical styles that appealed to Louis XIV's taste for grandeur but in a more secular form known as le bon gout, or good taste. This style was imposed across France and elevated Paris over Rome as the artistic capital of Europe.
Physical and Human Characteristics of France
France has several defining physical characteristics, including the Rhine River forming its eastern border with Germany, the Pyrenees Mountains separating it from Spain in the south, and the island of Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea. Culturally and historically, France is known for the Palace of Versailles, the former royal capital; influential Enlightenment thinkers like Montesquieu and Voltaire; and iconic landmarks such as the Louvre museum, Eiffel Tower, and Arc de Triomphe in Paris. France also has a rich artistic heritage as the birthplace of many famous painters from the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist eras like Monet, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec,
Realism, Romanticism, Impressionism Art His Presentation Lois, Pam, Zach, SS
Romanticism began in Germany and England in the 19th century as a reaction against Enlightenment ideals. It emphasized emotions, individualism, nature and the supernatural. Key artistic movements included Impressionism in France which focused on capturing fleeting impressions using visible brush strokes, loose compositions and light/color. In 19th century France and Europe, Romanticism coincided with the rise of nationalism, industrialization, urbanization and social/political changes like the French Revolution. Artists like Delacroix and Turner embraced Romanticism through their expressive use of color, light, and landscapes to depict emotions and contemporary subjects.
17.2 the northern renaissance
The Northern Renaissance began around 1450 after major events like the plague and Hundred Years War ended. It differed from the Italian Renaissance by being led more by kings and nobility rather than wealthy merchants due to stronger centralized monarchies. A key figure was King Francis I of France who embraced the humanist ideas and sponsored art, recruiting Leonardo da Vinci. Printing also spread ideas through Johannes Gutenberg's invention of the movable type printing press, making books more accessible.
