2.1 SumerCoach Thomas

��

Sumer was the world's oldest civilization located in Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The rivers flooded unpredictably but left rich silt, enabling irrigation-based agriculture. Sumerians created some of the first cities, specialized workers, complex institutions, writing, and advanced technology. Priests initially ruled but gave control to tough warrior kings during times of war, eventually establishing dynastic monarchies. Sumerian culture included polytheism, epic poems, and a stratified social structure with priests, merchants, laborers, and slaves. Their contributions included writing, architecture, mathematics, farming, and wheeled vehicles. The first empires arose including Sargon's conquest of city-states and Ham

At the end of the Middle Ages, Europe suffered from war and plague, but survivors in Italy wanted to enjoy life and advance knowledge by looking to ancient Greece and Rome. Italy succeeded in spearheading the Renaissance for three main reasons: 1) its urban centers grew as a result of increased trade after the Crusades; 2) wealthy merchant families like the Medicis dominated politics; and 3) Italy had close ties to the classical heritage of Rome and Greece. The Renaissance was characterized by new ideals like humanism and secularism, and patrons like popes and merchants financially supported revolutionary new art incorporating techniques like perspective, chiaroscuro, and sfumato.

RevolutionsCoach Thomas

��

The Scientific Revolution challenged old Greek and Roman teachings and the geocentric theory that the Earth was the center of the universe. Copernicus discovered the heliocentric theory that the sun was at the center. Galileo challenged Aristotle and proved Copernicus right through experiments. However, Galileo was sentenced to house arrest by the Church for his findings. Later scientists like Newton formulated laws of motion and Boyle discovered gas laws, improving the scientific method. The Enlightenment started with philosophers like Hobbes and Locke who advocated for natural rights and social contracts. Thinkers like Voltaire and Montesquieu influenced ideas around separation of powers and democracy.

Roots of french revolutionCoach Thomas

��

There were long-term and short-term reasons for the French Revolution. Financially, France was struggling due to the king's lavish spending, high costs of food and wages, and the nobility's tax exemptions. Socially, the system of estates left the commoners with no political power despite making up 97% of the population. The revolution began with the commoners forming the National Assembly and storming the Bastille prison, leading to the abolition of feudalism and the establishment of a republic with the execution of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette. The revolution then descended into the Reign of Terror led by Robespierre, during which tens of thousands were executed before he too was over

Roots of french revolutionCoach Thomas

1) The French Revolution was caused by both long-term and short-term factors. Long-term factors included France still having a feudal society, the ideas of the Enlightenment spreading, and the costs of food and war increasing. Short-term factors included King Louis XVI's excessive spending, the royal families' gambling debts, and the collapse of all government finances. 2) Society in France was divided into three estates, with the clergy and nobility in the first two estates exempted from most taxes while the third estate of commoners paid almost all taxes but had no political power. Tensions rose between the estates, leading up to the revolution. 3) In 1789, King Louis called the

The northern renaissance and luther’s reformationCoach Thomas

��

Northern Europe was experiencing the plague and the Hundred Years War, while Italy had established city-states. Gutenberg's printing press made books cheaper and more widely available, allowing common people to read. This led people to start questioning the Catholic Church. Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses challenging Catholic indulgences and beliefs. He believed salvation came from God alone through faith, not from the Church. Henry VIII established the Church of England when the Catholic Church refused to annul his marriage. The Reformation reduced the power of the Catholic Church and increased the power of monarchs and individuals, setting the stage for democracy and modern Europe.

Over several centuries, Rome built a massive empire that controlled parts of three continents. The Roman Empire began as a small city-state founded by Romulus and Remus along the Tiber River in Italy.

Rule And Order The City StatesCoach Thomas

Both Athens and Sparta were powerful city-states in Ancient Greece, but had very different governments and societies. Sparta had a strict military society ruled by two kings and councils. All citizens underwent rigorous military training from a young age. Women had more independence than elsewhere in Greece but were expected to produce children. Sparta also controlled a large population of helot slaves who farmed the land. Athens was an early center of Western civilization with a developing democracy where only free men could participate. Society had classes based on wealth rather than birth. Women had little freedom or education and were focused on domestic duties, while slaves made up over a third of the population and performed manual labor.
