ReplyDeletevol. 2, Mexico, Grolier Educational, pp. 1-5. 6 vols.
When? September 4, 476. Where? Ravenna, Italy. Who? Odovacar, Romulus Augustulus, Julius Nepos, and Zeno. Why? The fall of Rome started back in 235 when dozens of men claimed title of emperor of Rome. This began a string of many rulers who shared the throne with others and didn't quite work out. The roman empire was divided into eastern and western halves in 395. The western empire did not have a recognized emperor from 393 to 423. Over the next about 100 years, constant changes in power eventually led to the "fall" of Rome in 476.

Where: Manchester England.
Who: It is about the city there is no who.
Why: It overviews the history of the city. Manchester was founded in the first century A.D. It was founded by the romans. It got its charter in 1301. After receiving its charter it turned into a textile center. From 1300-1500 the city became the center for the growing English wool industry. By the seventeenth century the industry had expanded into other types of textiles. This was due to the high rate of cotton imports and the instillation of mass production techniques. But by the late 1800s Manchester lost its place as the leading global textile manufacturer. This was due to the lower priced competition elsewhere.

Who: Noah
Why: The entire population of mankind had become evil and wicked and God decided to bring a flood to the earth to destroy everyone but Noah and his family. God told Noah to prepare an ark big enough to hold one male and one female from every kind of animal and creature. When it started raining, Noah brought his wife and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth and theirs wives onto the ark. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights. After coming to rest on a mountain, Noah sent out a dove to find dry land but it returned. Seven days later he sent out another dove and it returned with an olive leaf, signaling that it was now safe to go onto land. God promised to never destroy earth with a flood again and He placed a rainbow in the sky as a sign of his promise.

Follows the actions and events that occurred in the life of Jacques Louis David, an artist, during the French Revolution. David was an outspoken political firebrand who supported the cause of the French Revolution and under the Convention, he held sway as the virtual dictator of the arts. While he French Revolution was occurring, David started to paint contemporary events that were occurring, especially the executions with unvarnished realism. David was also a political figure of the time who was elected to the National Convention in 1792 and served as a deputy to the body and was one who voted for the execution of King Louis XVI. He also formed the Commune of the Arts that soon became the Popular and Republican Society of the Arts which called for the dissolution of the French Academy. For his views, David was almost a victim of the guillotine when the Jacobin fell from power in 1794 and David was imprisoned for seven months until he was released.

ReplyDeleteIn the British empire genders were an important factor in the roles of people and their lifestyles. British women abroad helped to make gender roles relevant to the empire. Women were typically the ruled, while men were typically the rulers. However, women weren’t not the only ruled people in the empire. Both British men and women believed that Indian men were weak and feminine. Indian women were thought to dress inappropriately, wearing revealing clothes which were worn in a slovenly manner. This type of belief system can be found in many sociocultural systems. Men were the leaders in many European cultures, while women tended to Ben thought of as property.

ReplyDeleteSharpe, 1999, 2 vols.
When: Modern History
Where: Istanbul, Turkey.
Who: The city of Istanbul and anybody related to it.
Why: To better understand the history of one of the most important towns in the eastern Mediterranean. The city was originally called Byzantium before being renamed for the Roman emperor Constantine who moved the Capitol to there. After the fall of the western Roman Empire Constantinople became the Capitol of all the Roman Empire, then the Byzantine empire, then any country lucky enough to control it. The city eventually fell into the hands of the ottoman Turks who ousted the final Byzantine emperor and the last bastion of the Roman Empire. From there the ottomans kept the city as their Capitol and renamed it to Istanbul, because they could not say Constantinople easily in Turkish. The city was important to the Ottoman Empire for the duration of its existence, and it remains an important city in modern turkey.

ReplyDeleteWhen: 1450 AD.
Where: London,England
Who: Jack Cade's Rebellion
Why: The Jack Cade Rebellion originated from local complaints, regarding the corruption and blatant abuse of power that surrounded the king's regime and his most trusted advisers. The Rebels were very angry with the heavy amount of debt they had from England's long conflict with France in the Hundred Years War and the recent loss of Normandy. Jack Cade and his fellow rebels marched into London with the intent purging out the government’s corruption and removing the king’s treacherous advisers. Despite Cade’s best efforts to keep his men under control, once his men entered London they began to loot and pillage. The residents of London began to turn on the rebels and kicked them out of the city in a bloody clash on the bridge of London. To end the bloodbath the rebels were issued pardons by the king and asked to return to their homes. James Cade himself attempted to flee but was soon caught on the 12th of July in 1450 by Alexander Iden, a soon to be High Sheriff of Kent. As a result of his quarrel with Iden, the severely wounded Cade died before reaching London for his trial. In conclusion the Jack Cade Rebellion is perceived by historians as a result of the social, political, and economic issues of the 1400s and as a predecessor to the War of the Roses which saw the collapse of the Lancaster dynasty and the rise of the York's dynasty.
