CRUSADES (Holy Wars)
• Christian Europeans wanted to end Islam
• Christian knights traveled to the Middle
East to fight Muslim soldiers
• RESULTS:
– Increased trade between Europe and Asia
– Led to an interest in exploration
– Led to growth in towns
– Exchange of goods and ideas
Reformation
• There was a call to REFORM (change) the
Roman Catholic Church
• Groups broke away from the Roman
Catholic Church because it was corrupt.
Some of the instances of corruptions were:
– The Church owned too much land.
– The Church sold church jobs,
– The Church sold “indulgences” (forgiveness of
sins).
Renaissance
• Revival of learning and questioning in
Europe
• People became interested in art, music,
books (because of the printing press), etc…
Draw a Conclusion
Why would people be so hungry
for knowledge after the
Crusades?
• Conquistadors
Exploration
– Explorers came from Europe to explore “the
Americas”
– Conquistador (meaning "Conqueror" in the
Spanish language) is the term used to refer
to the soldiers, explorers, and adventurers
who achieved the Conquista (this Spanish
term is generally accepted by historians), i.e.
brought much of the Americas and Asia
Pacific under Spanish colonial rule between
the 15th and 17th centuries.
Exploration
• Columbian Exchange
– When Columbus came to the Americas, the Indians
were introduced to new foods from Europe.
– When Columbus went back to Europe, the Europeans
were introduced to food that had been brought back
from the Indians.
– The Columbian Exchange was not all positive. Some
negative effects were:
• European diseases killed Indians
• Indians were enslaved
• Land was taken from Indians
Settlements
Saint Augustine was the first
successful settlement in the
Americas.
It was settled by the Spanish.
Jamestown
Can you name this famous couple?
John Smith and Pocahontas
Jamestown is where John Smith met
Pocahontas.
Jamestown
• First English settlement in the Americas.
• Jamestown had the first representative
government in America. It was called The
House of Burgess.
• The settlement was saved when the
settlers learned to grow tobacco.
French and Indian War
• This war was actually fought
between England and France. You
may ask…
WHAT DID THE INDIANS HAVE TO
DO WITH IT?
• The Indians helped the French.
• The English won.
• The French and Indian war created
debt for the English.
• So…the English raised taxes.
• Then…the Colonists boycotted the
taxes and smuggled British goods to
avoid the taxes.
Dude, taxation
without
representation
is not cool!
Taxation
Before the French and Indian War, the
British left the colonies alone. After the
French and Indian War the British taxed
almost everything!
The Stamp Act
The Stamp act was a
tax on documents.
The Navigation Act
• Colonists were forced to use only
British ships and buy only British
goods.
Boston Massacre
• British soldiers said that some
colonists “started it.
That wasn’t true.
• Not very many people died, but the
colonists were looking for an excuse
to fight the British.
Boston Tea Party
• The Colonists threw Tea in the
Harbor to protest taxes.
• Results:
– British pass the Intolerable Acts and
Quartering Act.
Tensions Mount!!
• There is a pattern here. The British
make a law. The colonist rebel. The
British make another law to make
the colonist follow the first law. The
colonists rebel…etc. SOMETHING’S
GOTTA GIVE!
