King John Meme
|
Explanation
King John was being unfair. He was raising taxes and doing other things that people thought was unfair. They decided that they had enough. The people came together and made King John sign the Magna Carta, or else they could take over his land and overthrow him. King John had to sign it. He had no choice. So he did and everybody felt that it was fair. |
What is the Influence of the Magna Carta?
The Magna Carta influenced the Middle Ages in a big way. The Magna Carta was formed to make sure that King John wouldn't do unfair things to his kingdom without consulting anybody first. He started to raise taxes, and people started to get upset. Plus, King John had no choice to sign it because if he didn't, people could start to take over his land and overthrow him. I don't think that he would give up his reign just to make his people miserable.
The Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights
How did the Magna Carta effect the Bill of Rights?
The Magna Carta protected the people from it's harsh rulers. It also included some rights that people gained by forming this document. The Bill of Rights gave more people such as women and black people privileges that were not fairly thought about before.

What was the benefit of working for the church?
People wanted to work for the church because first of all, Catholicism became extremely popular at one point, and everybody was worried about their sins and going to heaven. If you worked for the church, wouldn't that mean that you had a guaranteed path to heaven since you are one of gods "workers"? Plus it was a great way to assure that you wouldn't have to worry about what would happen to you when you die.

Medievel Stained Glass
What does it look like?
|
Why was it important?
Churches in the Middle Ages were built to honor god. Really, all churches are. To further honor him, people decided to add some special unique design; stained glass windows. When people stained pieces of glass and put the pieces together, it would form a beautiful picture. It also reminded people that the church was a place to honor God and only honor God.

Pope Urban II Meme
|
Explanation
The Arabs ruled over the Holy Land, and they let the Christians come and go to visit. No problem here. But when the Turks came over, they eliminated the chance for the Christians to come. Pope Urban saw this saw this as a chance to gain power, so he started the first crusade. |
The Crusades
Why did it start?
The Crusades began because the Turks took over the holy land and wouldn't let Christians pillage there. The Muslims decided that it was time to start a war. Pope Urban II, one of the major contributors to the war saw this as a big chance to gain power. Also, people believed that this was a message from God, and everybody was huge with religion so nobody could really turn it down.
|
Consequences
Consequences of the crusades were many people died, because after all it was a war right? No war is supposed to be easy.

What was the importance of these achievements?
The importance of these achievements is because without them we would have to start from point A. The people who taught and discovered these things were the basic building blocks of our society today. We would have had to come up with all of that stuff on our own. We also wouldn't have the advanced technology that we would have had if these people didn't contribute to the discovery of all of these legacies.
