    The Evolution of the Hero

    It was the Italian poet Francesco Petrarca, known as Petrarch, who ushered in the new humanism. What excited Petrarch was the classical tradition of education — the aim of which, as Cicero had explained, was to cultivate not a narrow range of technical skills, but the single, noble virtue of manliness. This idea of virtus went on to inspire a Renaissance literature of advice books outlining what was needed to foster a well-rounded man. A manly man was proficient in warfare, scholarship, government, letters and even the art of seduction. In the city-states of 15th century Italy arose a new…

    Originally, the cause of the war were religious issues. The Peace of Augsburg (1555) brought peace to the German states but only recognized Lutherans and Roman Catholics. Protestants, and later Calvinists, wanted religious freedom from the ruling Catholics. Add to that the fact that all the countries involved in these wars wanted to make themselves more powerful and you have a Molotov.…

    30 Years War

    • 622 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Over the years I have come to the conclusion that my life is not a highway, nor is it like a box of chocolates; my life is more like the Thirty Years' War. This was a European war that was fought from 1618-1648, and it can be considered the first real world war since most of Europe became involved. All of the fighting took place, however, within the Holy Roman Empire (Germany), even though the poor Germans did nothing to deserve it. True, they were having their own civil war, but then all the other countries of Europe decided that it was a good time to fight each other over the partitioning of Germany. The funny thing is, everything ended up pretty much the way it was before the war (land-wise), except that the German people looked up one day to see their country demolished by pillaging, ransacking armies of different races, creeds, and sizes.…

    The Rise of Europe

    Contemporary world power, and the shift from the East to the West during what historian’s term, Medieval/Renaissance Europe, shifted the roles of two vastly different empires – the Ming and Ottoman. Even though we barely even touched on the Ming Empire, I feel like the significance of it, is far too grand to leave out in describing the rise of Europe. Both empires had different types of leadership and core goals – military and social. The Ming Empire was led by brilliant philosophical scholars, concerned not only with the external world but the development of the internal consciousness; the Ottoman based on a new monotheistic religion that stratified society, but also allowed numerous mathematical, scientific, and medical advances, copied by the Europeans after the Crusades.…
