Western Civilization How can the Reformation and the Age of Discovery be seen as extensions of the Renaissance?

Catholic Reformation

1545 BCE

in 1545 the Catholic reformation was the change to counter force Protestantism. It was basically a reform of the Catholic Church that even Catholics recognized as corrupt and had many faults within the papacy. The key things that happened during this was the founding of the Jesuits, the formation of the papacy and the Council of Trent. It was successful in helping the church show that they had changed and were not corrupt like before.

The Holy Office

1542 BCE

In 1542 Paul III created a branch of the church that would later be known as the Inquisition. The inquisitions main focus was to watch for signs of heresy like Protestantism and it gave them the rights to interrogate and torture people who were suspicious of heresy. He even said that the bible had to remain in Latin otherwise it would be a sign of heresy. This is important because it is noted it stopped Galileo from working otherwise he would have been brand as a Heretic which eventually he did

Acts of Supremacy and Succession.

1534 BCE

The English reformation took place in 1534 when the church of England broke away from the authority of the pope and the Roman Catholic Church. This was followed by the king issued the Acts of Supremacy and Succession. This gave henry the excuse to seize the Catholic lands and wealth. Which basically made him the pope and the leader of the new church. This gave him a lot more influence and more important to him wealth.

1524 German Peasants' War

1525 BCE

In 1524 there was a peasant uprising in Germany that was inspired by the changes brought about by the reformation. They even build armies. They were inspired by Lutheranism and demanded a reduction in feudal dues and duties. As well as the end of serfdom and justice from the feudal lords. However the revolt was brought down when 100,000 people became martyrs and this led others to think more deeply about the church.

Calvinism

1519 BCE

In 1519 Calvinism was the new religion. It involved an argument about god and his view on the people. Basically good Calvinists were supposed to devote themselves to the study of scripture, temperate living, and hard work. However it became bad when in 1555 he led a group of fellow French exiles and create a Consistory who were a group of Calvinist ministers who pusnished those who did no believe in Calvinism. They fined people and imprisoned them for ungodly behavior.

The Columbian Exchange, and the Great Dying

1492 BCE

I wanted to put the Columbian Exchange in because it greatly affected nearly everywhere on earth. During the Columbian exchange people were able to exchange many things such as precious metals foreign fruits and animals however this also brought about diseases such as small pox and measles which quickly destroyed much of the human population. It was most harmful in the Caribbean where by about 1600 native American populations had lost 99%.

Martin Luther and his impact on the Church

1483 BCE

Martin Luther was a German monk that had a major impact on the church. He believed that the Catholic church had it all wrong and that salvation was achieved through acts of good. This was noted to be revolutionary because it did way with the entire edifice of church ritual.And in 1520 he was writing papers that attacked the pope's authority and the corruption of the church because he saw how corrupt it was. But this got negative reaction and he was banned from the kingdom for what he believed in

Christopher Columbus in 1492

1492

In 1492 Christopher Columbus was send from Queen Isabella to reach Asia in hopes of recapturing the holy alnds and opening new trade routes. However this was was strange for Columbus because after he left he thought he would easily arrive in Asia. However they arrived in the Bahamas. Most people thought Columbus was good however he ended up doing somethin terrible. He not only mistreated the Indians he made Spain look bad and the natives saw them as a new threat to their land.

Guise nobleman sponsored a massacre of Huguenots that sparked decades of war.

1562

in 1562 there was conflict between the Catholic League and Huguenot forces. Hoping to end the conflict Charles and Catherine invited the Prince Henry of Navarre to Paris however it was a conspiracy led by the Duke of Guise that only the death of henry would truly end religious division. On Bartholomew's day August 24 2,000 protestant's were killed. This sparked war and at least 20,000 more people died. And in the years that followed the French Wars of Religion turned into a three way civil war.

Summary

2020

In summary I would be able to tie the Renaissance to these great ages because people honestly just wanted to discovery new things. They were not only curios with new lands and the world out there but they were also worried about the church. During these ages we not only discovered new lands we also grew as a society we were able to create new religions and discovery new ideas. But through all this we cannot forget the troubles we went through such as the Columbian exchange and its diseases.
