BELLWORK • For bellwork today, you are going to read about the Hundred Years’ War (pgs. 149-150) • As you read, complete the history frame worksheet on the back of your Crusades packet. • A history frame is a graphic way to represent a historical event, almost like a story board for a film! • Focus on the main points! Summarize! • I will collect this packet after bellwork.
Review: Causes of the Crusades • “I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ's heralds to publish this everywhere to people of whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends. I say this to those who are present, it is meant also for those who are absent. Moreover, Christ commands it.”
The First Crusade • 1096-1099 • Ended with the Christian capture of Jerusalem
The Second Crusade • 1147-1149 • In response to the fall of the County of Edessa (one of the first crusader states established during First Crusade) • Muslims regained their territory
The Third Crusade • 1189-1192 • In response to the loss of Jerusalem to Muslims. • Although the Christians did not recapture Jerusalem, Richard I, was able to capture Acre, which became the Templars’ headquarters for the next century.
From one war to the next…… • Political power gradually shifted from feudal nobles to kings • Influence of the clergy and nobles diminished • Despite the strengthening of monarchy and central government, feudal disputes continued to spark conflict throughout Europe.
The Hundred Years’ War • 1337-1453: Kings of France and England fought over control of French territory and the French throne. • England won the early battles because of their military superiority.
Joan of Arc • Joan of Arc: using “divine guidance,” she led a French army and ended the English siege of Orleans. • Joan later became a prisoner of the English and was burned to her death. • Inspired by Joan’s courage, the French rallied and drove the English out. • England no longer held any French territory.
Effects of Hundred Years’ War • National unity in both France and England • Decline of Feudalism • New technology of fighting • Monarchs replaced feudal soldiers with actual national armies • Increased taxes to rebuild their countries • Europe went through a period of revival
MAIN IDEA! • The Crusades & 100 Years War advanced Western Europe….. Towns grew, trade expanded, education increased, and the arts thrived. People also began to question leadership. • Both conflicts, although devastating, brought positive changes to culture, government and society.
The Mongols • During the 1100’s, the Mongols became the dominant nomadic group in central Asia. • Mongolia: steppe, pastures, isolated • At first, Mongols were divided into separate clans until 1206 when Temujin organized them under one government. • Military leadership was based on skill - expert fighters on horseback, used bow and arrow, & organized men into cavalry units • As a result of his success, Temujin was recognized as khan (absolute ruler) and renamed Genghis Khan (universal ruler) • Goal was to create a large empire & conquer others
Genghis Khan • Died in 1227 • Still celebrated in Mongolia • Burial ground; statue 131 feet!
Engineering an Empire: Mongols • As you watch the video, continue your notes on the Mongols, focus on: • Important people and their successes • Military tactics & advances • Mongol society & culture • Conflict
