4 likes•6,504 views
The Great Famine occurred throughout Europe from 1315-1317 and recovery was not complete until 1325. It was caused by heavy rains in 1315 that made planting impossible and ruined crops. People resorted to eating wild plants, slaughtering draft animals, and seed grain to survive, while some abandoned children or starved themselves so others could eat. The famine caused increases in crime, damaged the authority of governments and the Church, stopped population growth, and made future crises more devastating. Estimates suggest 10-25% of urban populations died from malnutrition and related diseases.

Humanism and renaissance
The document provides an overview of the start of the Modern Age, focusing on Humanism and the Renaissance. It discusses how the 15th-16th centuries saw changes that marked a new historical period in Europe. Humanism emerged as an intellectual movement that took inspiration from classical antiquity and placed mankind at the center. These ideas spread and influenced art during the Renaissance, particularly in Italy. The Renaissance saw developments in architecture, sculpture, and painting that emulated classical forms and placed new emphasis on nature, perspective and depicting reality. Famous artists from this period include Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and others.
Feudalism in Europe
Feudalism was an economic, political, and social system where nobles granted land to vassals in exchange for loyalty and military service. Vassals received land from lords and protected their manors, which were the centers of agricultural estates. Serfs lived and worked on the manors, farming the land but belonging to the manor rather than the lord. This system linked lords, vassals, knights, priests, and peasants in a hierarchy where each group supported the others through the exchange of land and services.
13.2 feudalism in europe
Feudalism emerges in Europe as a political and economic system based on landholding and protection in exchange for services. As invaders like the Vikings, Magyars, and Muslims attacked Europe, feudalism structured society into a pyramid with the king at the top, lords and nobles below providing land grants to vassals who became knights and protected the land. Society was divided into those who fight, those who pray, and those who work, mainly peasants who lived on self-sufficient manors providing goods to the lord in exchange for housing and protection.
Martin luther and the reformation
Martin Luther was troubled by the Catholic Church's practice of selling indulgences to forgive sins and fund the rebuilding of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. In 1517, he wrote the 95 Theses criticizing indulgences and questioning papal authority. He nailed the theses to the door of the Wittenberg Castle church to debate fellow scholars. This sparked the Protestant Reformation as his ideas spread through printing and divided Western Christianity into Catholic and Protestant branches that still exist today.
3.Middle Kingdom Egypt
During the Middle Kingdom (2175-1541 BCE):
- Thebes became the new capital and Egypt was reunited under its rule. Egypt expanded its territory by annexing Nubia and established trade routes.
- Pharaohs like Amenemhat I and the 12th dynasty built large temples and public works projects. They conquered Nubia and established a golden age of literature and craftsmanship.
- Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife changed - common people were now believed to have an afterlife alongside the pharaoh, which influenced Judaism and Christianity. This period marked the peak of Egypt's power before its decline.
Feudalism In Europe
The document discusses the feudal system that developed in Europe after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It describes how the feudal system was based on hierarchies of land ownership and personal obligations. Lords granted land (fiefs) to vassals in exchange for military service and protection. In turn, peasants lived and worked on the manor lands in exchange for protection from their lord. While the manor provided necessities, peasants also faced high taxes and duties under the feudal system.
THE AGE OF RENAISSANCE
The document discusses the political and religious changes in England during the Renaissance period. It focuses on three key events: [1] King Henry VIII's break with the Catholic Church and establishment of the Church of England so he could divorce his first wife Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn, having six wives total in search of a male heir; [2] the reign of Queen Elizabeth I who brought religious tolerance but faced challenges with divided Catholic and Protestant populations; and [3] the flourishing of English literature and drama during this period including the works of Marlowe, Shakespeare, and Jonson.
Industrial revolution
The Industrial Revolution fundamentally changed production from human labor to machines. It began in England in the late 18th century due to several factors including available capital, colonies and markets, raw materials, workers, merchant marine, and geography. Key developments included machines replacing humans, new energy sources like steam power, increased metal production, improved transportation via railroads and steamships, and advances in communication like the telegraph. The textile industry was an early adopter of these new technologies, sparking wider industrialization.

The Renaissance
The Renaissance began in Italy in the late Middle Ages as a period of cultural, scientific, and intellectual growth. This was sparked by increasing wealth from trade which allowed for patronage of the arts, and the rediscovery of ancient Greek and Roman texts which challenged the dominant scholastic thinking. Notable figures included Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Copernicus, and Galileo who made significant contributions across multiple disciplines and helped usher in new ways of thinking. The printing press was also a major development, allowing for the spread of ideas. Over time, the Renaissance ideals spread throughout Europe, marking the transition to modernity.
The middle ages powerpoint
The Middle Ages spanned from 500-1500 AD. After the fall of the Roman Empire, threats of attacks led to the decline of cities and rise of feudalism as a political system with land granted in exchange for loyalty. Manorialism was the economic system of self-sufficient farming estates with little trade. Charlemagne created a large empire and helped revive learning in Europe, though it declined after his death. Europe was weakened by invasions until the rise of the powerful Roman Catholic Church and the Crusades between 1000-1300 AD, but the Black Death plague from 1347-1351 killed one-third of Europe's population and ended feudalism.

Guliver's travels
Gulliver's Travels follows Lemuel Gulliver, a surgeon from England, as he embarks on four voyages, each beginning with a shipwreck that lands him in fantastical lands. In the first two voyages, he is marooned among populations of either tiny people or giants. The third finds him rescued by a floating island of irrational mathematicians. The fourth exposes the brutish nature of humans as contrasted with the rational horses who govern their land. Through these journeys, Swift satirizes 18th century politics, human nature, and societal norms.
17.1 - Italy, Birthplace Of The Renaissance
The document summarizes key aspects of the Italian Renaissance, including:
1) The Renaissance began in Italy, particularly northern Italian city-states like Florence, due to strong economies based on trade which empowered merchants over feudal lords.

Glorious revolution 1688
The Glorious Revolution occurred in 1688 and resulted in the exile of King James II and the ascension of William of Orange and Mary Stuart to the throne. King Charles I had faced problems with Parliament over religion that led to his imprisonment and execution. His son Charles II restored the monarchy but tensions rose again under Catholic King James II, who replaced Protestants with Catholics in government. In response, seven leaders invited William and Mary to invade England, which James fled upon their arrival, making William and Mary the new monarchs in a bloodless revolution.
The islamic golden age
The Islamic Golden Age lasted from the 7th to 13rd centuries, during which the Islamic world made significant advances in art, science, engineering, and more. Under various caliphates, the Islamic empire spread across much of Asia, Africa, and Europe, bringing diverse populations together and establishing a universal civilization. This era of achievement was spurred by Islamic teachings that promoted education and knowledge, as well as tolerant governments that financed scholars. Notable contributions included major developments in areas like medicine, math, astronomy, and agriculture. The Golden Age declined due to later wars and conquests, but its influences on science, technology, and culture remain important today.
Scientific Revolution
The Scientific Revolution occurred between 1540-1690 and marked a change in both science and thought. Key figures like Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton challenged the existing geocentric view of the universe and developed the scientific method. Their work established a heliocentric model of the solar system and formulated laws of motion and universal gravitation. This revolution shifted views on the relationship between science and religion and had wide-ranging impacts on how people understood the natural world.
The famine ppt
The document summarizes key details about the Great Famine that occurred in Ireland in the 1840s. It describes how the fungus Phytophthora infestans arrived from Europe in 1845 and quickly destroyed the potato crop. The potato was a staple in Ireland but was vulnerable to disease. By 1847 over 1 million people had died from starvation or famine-related disease as the blight continued to devastate potato yields for several years. Mass emigration from Ireland ensued as many fled on overcrowded "coffin ships" to escape the famine.
World hunger presentation ppt
In our opinion, poverty is the main reason for hunger, weather is it poverty of an individual or of a whole nation. In developing countries, governments can’t afford to support those in need for food and water and in developed countries there are some individuals who can’t afford their need due to lack of education which caused them to be unable to look for a source of income.
Natural disasters can cause poverty too. Governments should be able to provide shelter and food for those people who their houses and belongings were destroyed by natural disasters.

World hunger is caused by severe poverty, conflict, overuse of the environment, poor agriculture, and natural disasters. The key concepts discussed are the causation, form, and responsibility of world hunger and how addressing these could help end it. The document advocates being open-minded, caring, cooperative, committed, and creative to solve world hunger and provides facts about the role of poverty and population growth as two major reasons for hunger around the world.
The Irish Famine
Many families were forced to travel on overcrowded and unsanitary "coffin ships" for up to three months to reach destinations like Quebec City, Canada over 3,000 miles away. Forty such ships carried 14,000 immigrants up the St. Lawrence River, though the immigrants did not receive the money, food or clothing promised by their landlords upon arrival in North America as they had been led to expect.
FAMINES IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD
Famine is a significant problem for many developing countries despite a global food surplus. Famine results from a shortage or inability to obtain food, often due to drought causing low food production. It occurs mainly in rural areas where farming and livestock are the primary means of livelihood. Nearly 30 million Africans could face famine in the coming months, with the horn of Africa, southern Africa, and the Sahel region of West Africa most at risk. Causes of famine in Africa include drought, lack of self-sufficiency requiring imports, armed conflict, environmental degradation, and climate change.
KU Famine PowerPoint
Famine is caused by a lack of access to food that can lead to starvation and death, usually impacting millions. It is the result of long-term social, political, and economic processes rather than singular causes. In 2010, 925 million people experienced hunger worldwide. Poverty is the principal cause of hunger as many lack sufficient land or income to purchase enough food, despite global food production being enough to provide everyone with at least 2,720 kilocalories per day. Progress in reducing world hunger has been marginal, with the number of undernourished people increasing to over 1 billion rather than being halved by 2015 as targeted.

Bill of Rights Basics
The document summarizes the key points about amendments and the Bill of Rights:
1) The Constitution has been amended over time to adapt to changing society as intended by the Founding Fathers like Thomas Jefferson.
2) Article V of the Constitution outlines the difficult two-step process for amending the Constitution, requiring proposals by Congress or state conventions and ratification by three-quarters of state legislatures.
3) The Bill of Rights was one such amendment, proposed by James Madison after several states' ratification of the Constitution was in doubt due to its lack of enumerated individual rights, and it protects liberties through its first ten amendments.
Bill of Rights Slideshow 2012

War and peace lesson- Answers
The United States government makes important foreign policy decisions that impact other countries. These decisions are complex with many factors to consider. Congress and the President work together to determine policies that balance national security, economic and humanitarian concerns both domestically and abroad.
Checks and balances +headlines cards
1. Checks and balances means that each branch of government can check the power of another branch. The President can veto legislation passed by Congress, but Congress can override a veto with a two-thirds majority vote.
2. The President appoints Supreme Court Justices and other federal judges, but these appointments must be approved by the Senate.
3. Federal courts can check the power of Congress by reviewing laws for constitutionality.
War and peace cards
Upon President Wilson's request in 1917, Congress declared war on Germany and authorized Wilson to lead the military against Germany in World War I. In response to the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the United States provided significant aid in the form of food, water, and medical care. After World War II, the United States gave over $13 billion to help rebuild western Europe and establish democratic governments.
War and peace student handout
This document discusses domestic and foreign policy in the United States government. It provides examples of 10 policies and asks the reader to identify each as domestic (D) or foreign (F). Domestic policies deal with internal affairs, like education and law enforcement. Foreign policies involve other countries, such as military defense, negotiations over climate change, and providing foreign aid. The document also asks why the Constitution gave Congress a role in most foreign policy decisions, to which the answer is that the Framers wanted to prevent any one person from having all the power over important decisions like going to war.
War and peace note cards
The document discusses key aspects of U.S. foreign policy in 3 paragraphs. It outlines that the main goals of U.S. foreign policy are to protect America and Americans, support strong global economies and human rights, and increase support for democratic values. It also notes that the President and executive branch typically initiate foreign policy responses with input from Congress. Foreign aid, the military, and treaties are then briefly described as important tools and components of carrying out U.S. foreign policy.
Study Guide & CYOA - Constitution 2011
This document provides a study guide for a Constitution exam. It includes 28 terms and concepts to be studied, organized under headings like "A 'Just Right Government' Handout", "BrainPOP Branches of Government Handout", and "Constitution Packet". The guide lists comprehension questions and definitions for the student to learn. It also provides options for how the student can display their understanding, such as creating flashcards, quizzes, or art projects that incorporate the terms and concepts from the study material.
Electoral College Cloze + Map Math
The document provides information about how the US presidential election process works through the electoral college system. It explains that citizens vote for presidential candidates in their state, though the candidate who wins the national popular vote may not win the presidency if they do not receive a majority of electoral votes, which are allotted to states based on their representation in Congress. It also notes that a few states in history have seen the candidate lose the national popular vote but win the electoral college vote and hence the presidency.
Just Right Govt-Notetaker
The colonists wanted a government that protected individual rights and had limited power. Their first attempt, the Articles of Confederation, gave too much power to the states and too little to the central government. This caused problems between states. Leaders then created a new system with three branches of government and more balanced power between the federal and state governments. This became the United States Constitution.
Just Right-Govt 1
The document outlines problems with the government under the Articles of Confederation, including that Congress had no way to enforce laws or collect taxes, and states could ignore Congressional laws. This led to conflicts between states, as they imposed taxes on goods from other states. Different states also had varying needs and sizes, and people disagreed on whether a stronger central government was needed.
Research tips
This document provides tips for teachers to guide student research more effectively. It recommends explicitly teaching students how to properly cite sources and avoid plagiarism. Teachers should provide curated resources like annotated lists of pre-screened websites on specific topics to guide students' research. Asking focused research questions tailored to curriculum standards helps students conduct more meaningful research rather than simply finding random facts. The teacher plays a key role by screening resources and asking guiding questions to direct students' research.

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
