    Taira Clan defeated by the Minamoto Clan in th Genpei War
    The Heian period and Genpei War ends in 1185 BC when Taira clan was defeated by Minamoto Clan. This held significance on society as it created the real start of feudalism in Japan, and later on was the beginning of the Kamakura period.

    Genpei War

    Genpei War
    During 1180 BC, Taira no Kiromori put his 2 year old grandson on the throne after the re announcement of the emperor. Prince Mochihito sent a call for a favor to Minamoto clan and Buddhist monasteries but it resulted with the death of Prince Mochihito. This caused Minamoto to have a deeper hatred for Taira which began the Genpei war. I believe this was a significant event because it explains why the Taira and Minamoto clan were fighting and that it started the Genpei war.

    The Black Death plague in Western Europe

    The Black Death plague in Western Europe
    12 Genoese trading ships docked at the Sicilian port of Messina after a long journey in the Black Sea. When the ships arrived, people were surprised to see that most of the sailors on board were dead, the rest were gravely ill. The Sicilian authorities ordered the ships out of the harbor however it was too late and later lead to the deaths of 20 million people in Europe over the next five years.

    In 1348 the black plague spreads from Cyprus to Florence which was also suffering from famine. I believe this was an important event as people were not only getting infected by the disease but also starving to death. It tells us that the black plague affected how people were living.

    Joan of Arc burned at the stake

    Joan of Arc burned at the stake
    After leading many victories to France Joan of Arc was captured by Anglo-Bergundian forces. At the age of 19, Joan of Arc was trialed for witchcraft and burned at the stake in Rouen, France. I believe this is an important event as many years later Joan of Arc would be remembered as a saint. She lead many victories to France and is very important in the history of the French.
