Journal Entry sheet #4 List three reasons why the Crusades failed?

Economic Changes Historic evidence of trade between Muslims, Byzantines, Europeans prior to Crusades Crusades enhanced existing trade Returning Crusaders brought more goods, spices, textiles, to Europe Increase in trade added to changing European economy during Middle Ages Crusades led to deaths of many knights, nobles Lands left vulnerable Other ambitious nobles took control of unoccupied lands Nobles then had more power, influence in Europe Political Changes Some Europeans respected other cultures, others intolerant Many viewed non-Christians as enemies, persecuted Jews Holy Land Jews saw Crusaders as cruel invaders Relations strained for centuries Social Changes Effects of the Crusades

Results of the Crusades  I.F. Turks Traveled they would Trade  I = Improvements – Ships, Maps, Explorers  F = Feudalism declines because Feudal lords die or spend too much money on military.  T = Turks still rule the Holy Land  T = Travel – Europeans want to travel more  T = Trade – Europeans want product from the East such as sugar, cotton, silk, spices, etc.

Effects of Crusades  Showed power of Church  Increased trading between East and West --> will lead to massive Cultural Diffusion  Lead to the Commercial Revolution  Muslim bitterness and hatred toward Christians  Constantinople (Istanbul) eventually falls to Turks

Effect of Crusades  Increased trading helped business flourish  Merchants increased

The middle class  Merchants  Traders  Artisans  Craftsmen  They took the economic position between the upper  (wealthy) and the peasants.  Many formed Guilds.  (likeminded businessmen)  Regulated prices and work conditions.  Provided for guild members injured or for their families if they are killed or died.  Trained new guild members apprentices

Guild System Click on the link to watch a short video on the definition of Guilds and shows how they work. Guilds VideoGuilds Video

What was traded?  -cloth  -dyes  -leather

How will increased trading effect society?  -More $$ available  -Merchants get increased power  taxes increase to king  King no longer need to give land for loyalty, instead can give money  -Growth of cities  Move back to cities to trade

Results of Commercial Revolution -Businesses grow -End of Feudalism decline/ Serfdom  kings gain power -Trading increases  Age of exploration?? -Banking -Growth of merchants and middle class

The Rise of Capitalism / Market Economy  Trade and opportunities for commerce not only created the need for a cash economy but also an opportunity for individuals to gain wealth by investing in themselves or others  When demand for goods increased, investors made more profits, when demand decreased invertors took losses,  Capital means investment.  Economic power shifted away from the nobles (who controlled the manors) to the capitalists who now controlled both the trade and the profits

The Economy Transforms From To Barter Cash $$$$

Your loss is my gain In order to compete in a cash economy, the local nobles had to convert their assets to cash. Serfs (labor) Land ( fields) In order to maintain their manors, some nobles borrowed from banks. The manorial / feudal systems fall apart.  Serfs now can:  now buy their freedom and work for themselves.  be trained as craftsmen and artisans.  act independently from the local noble.

Transference of political power  The local nobles who formerly exercised most of the real political power much of their power  The kings who formerly had little power gain much of the political power lost by the local nobles.
