    Chapter 13 covers Europe’s social and political order from 1600-1715. In the early century, inflation was such that prices were four times what they had been between 1525 and 1550. Three great powers contested for dominance – the Ottoman Empire, the Spanish Empire, and France, under Louis XIV and Richelieu. Each had a mass of about 17 million people. In spite of the presence of these great monarchies, there were still areas all over Europe from southern Italy to Scandinavia and from Scotland to Auvergne where primitive social enclaves persisted, with hundreds of dialects and local, semi barbaric, religious cults. Attempted control of these numerous pockets sapped the resources of the great powers, similar to the drain on the Roman Empire when it was ringed with…

    We mark Italian society's rebirth from the medieval period with the changes that occurred during the Italian Renaissance. Civilization was changing and what we consider the modern world was about to begin. The renaissance activity that happened in Europe outside of Italy is called the Northern European Renaissance. Italy's humanist ideas and values moved out of Italy and throughout Europe, which spurred on the Northern European Renaissance. The Renaissance period began in the early 14th Century and lasted until the late 16th Century. “Renaissance” comes from the French word that means “rebirth.” This time period is named and studied because of its unique art, literature, and music. It is also known as society's modern age.…

    In 1870, with the onset of the Franco-Prussian War, France was forced to withdraw its troops from Rome where they had secured the Pope's authority since 1849. With the absence of the French soldiers, Rome came under Italian rule and this same year was declared the new capital. With this addition to the state, the task of Italian unification was complete. Finally, after eleven years of plotting, war, and compromise Italy was one. But, would any of this been possible had it not been for one crucial meeting? A meeting that resulted in the alliance of France and the Italian state of Piedmont that gave Piedmont the force it needed to run the Austrians off of the peninsula and make way for unification. This meeting at the French spa of Plombieres between Camillo Cavour and Louis Napoleon III was most definitely the catalyst that sprung the Italian unification. In this paper I plan to dissect the occurrences of the meeting, as well as display its importance and unveil the underlying factors that molded the decisions that were made. (Cohen p. 818)…

    During the Renaissance period of European history, many nations struggled to produce not only their own national identity but also a political system which allowed for clarity of command and stability. For many of these nations, the struggle for political power was greatly influenced by the flow of commerce and wealth changing hands. Three major infrastructures which depended on wealth each in their own way utilized such an in order to establish legitimate claim to political power and stabilize their regions. Italy’s unified national identity dissolved due to the struggle and conflict between the affluent families which ultimately influenced the creation of city-states. England monarchs, struggling to regain footing after the result of the Hundred Years War, depended greatly on the tax revenues raised by Parliament. As if an antithesis to Italy’s dissolution into city-states, France struggled to eliminate the absolute freedom and authority of the noble elite and once again establish the dominance of the monarchy. Each of these nations established their political power through a direct relationship with wealth. What makes their development unique is how differently Italy, England, and France utilized or influenced the flow of wealth in order to establish the political power and stability they sought.…

    Italian Unification

    • 1086 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Before 1850 Italy was divided politically and was a battle ground for the great powers of Europe. This was the first stage which was referred to as the Pre-Revolutionary stage. This stage was after the Napoleonic war and Napoleon Bonaparte’s second defeat. The major powers met up at the Congress of Vienna in 1815 and reorganized the Italian Peninsula in terms of who owned where. The northern provinces of Lombardy and Venetia was given to Austria, Kingdom of Sardinia got Piedmont and was under the rule of an Italian Monarch, Tuscany shared north-central Italy with smaller states and Italy and Rome were ruled by the papacy while a Bourbon King ruled Naples and Sicily. During this time, the Italian Peninsula was divided and Italian leaders had limited power and influence. After 1815 the goal of a unified Italian nation captured the imagination of many Italians, but there was no agreement on how it could be achieved (McKay, Hill, Buckler, Ebrey, Beck, Crowston, Weisner, 2007).…
