This is a map of the European continent, the majority of countries in Europe are developed countries
00:00:09
in various fields. Europe as a pioneer of industrialization, a
00:00:14
developer of science and technology as well as the quality of the world of education is qualified,
00:00:20
but have we ever thought, how Europe has achieved various advances to
00:00:29
date. The answer is in this video. Let's learn history and learn from history
00:01:05
This is the city of Florence, a historic city in Italy with architectural masterpieces of buildings
00:01:11
and natural beauty that holds a long story about the rise of Europe. Florence is crossed
00:01:20
by the river Arno at the foot of the Apeninne hills which makes the area relatively fertile. Its strategic location
00:01:30
as a center for meetings of various cities in Northern Italy make florence as the
00:01:36
City's biggest trading and richest in Italy in the 13th century until the 16th century was not wrong when
00:01:47
florence referred to as the City of advanced and dynamic in his time most of the people who
00:02:02
play a role in development Renaissance was born in Florence and its surroundings like Leonardo Da Vinci
00:02:09
Michaelangelo and Machiavelli. From florence, the renaissance movement was born and spread to
00:02:18
other cities in Italy such as Genoa, Venice and Rome then expanded to
00:02:25
European countries such as England, France and the Netherlands but briefly What is Renaissance?
00:02:45
Literally renaissance comes from French which means rebirth or revival
00:02:52
by the term Renaissance was a period in the history of Europe in the 14th century
00:03:01
until the 17th century were marked by the movement to revive the Greek and Roman culture
00:03:13
characteristic of movement renaissance is a freedom of thought creative and slowly began to
00:03:18
break away from the traditional dogmatic realm of thought. In classical times Europe never
00:03:34
progressed Greek and Roman civilization is a symbol of the heyday of European classical
00:03:40
ancient Greek civilization has a distinctive due to its height in the field of literary philosophy,
00:03:49
astronomy and other sciences
00:03:52
just that Philosophy makes this civilization becomes more special when it appears a group of
00:04:02
philosophers has laid the foundations of this science in Greek civilizations such as Socrates, Aristotle and Plato
00:04:15
After Greece collapsed, Rome developed from the Apenine Peninsula.
00:04:21
Since the 2nd century AD the Roman Empire grew into one of the largest
00:04:27
empires in the world. During its heyday, the Roman Empire was sovereign over the coastal areas of North Africa,
00:04:38
Southern Europe, most of western Europe, the Balkans and most of
00:04:43
the Middle East. Roman civilization adopted the form of Greek civilization they built theatres,
00:04:53
performance arenas to gardens, they were also very proficient in the art of carving
00:04:59
sculptures and pictures. In addition, literature is also growing rapidly in its civilization.
00:05:05
During the time of Constantine the Great he moved the capital of Rome to Constantinople. This decision
00:05:13
caused Roman rule to be divided into two parts,
00:05:17
the western Roman Empire with the capital city of Rome and the Eastern Roman Empire with the capital city of Constantinople.
00:05:34
During the reign of the Western Roman Empire. The territory of the western Romans continued to shrink.
00:05:40
This was due to the military losses incurred as a result of the Germanic
00:05:46
attacks . At the beginning of the 4th century Germanic Barbarians such as the Goths began to dare to attack the
00:05:56
borders of western Roman rule. The frequency of attacks by the Germanic tribes threatened the
00:06:02
territory to the Roman Empire at the end of the 4th century and the beginning of the 5th century.
00:06:11
Until finally the Visigothic King, Alaric managed to penetrate the defenses of the city walls of Rome and plundered the city in 410 AD
00:06:25
After the penetration of the defense of the city of Rome, the Roman population lived
00:06:30
under the threat of the German attack, until in 450 AD the
00:06:40
city of Rome was again attacked by the Germanic people, precisely by the Vandals. The destruction of
00:06:48
looting again occurred in the city of Rome and in the end the Germanic leader named Odoacer
00:07:05
succeeded in forcing the Roman Emperor Romulus Augustus to surrender. The fall of Emperor Rumulus is considered to be
00:07:13
the main factor that led to the end of the reign of the Western Roman Empire. The fall of Western
00:07:22
Rome in 476 marked the beginning of the Middle Ages.
00:07:31
The Middle Ages is the period in Europe between the fall of the
00:07:36
western Roman empire and the birth of the Renaissance. Medieval features were feudalism and
00:07:45
church domination . Feudalism is a socio-political system based on land tenure and
00:07:54
land management. Land management was carried out in exchange for political and military loyalty,
00:08:01
this caused the orientation of the economy to shift from trade to agriculture
00:08:07
so that trading activities in the Mediterranean sea became quiet.
00:08:16
The face of Europe changed to an agrarian society with closed village households
00:08:25
At the end of the 8th century the Frankish Empire led by Charlemagne conquered European territories
00:08:39
The Roman Catholic Church led by Pope Leo III tried to use Charlemagne's power
00:08:45
to protect it from attacks by the Barbarians and the coup of his enemy, while on the other hand
00:08:53
Charlemagne needed the legitimacy of the church to strengthen his power from here, these two
00:09:00
institutions influenced each other and were related to each other. In the year 800 on
00:09:10
Christmas Satisfaction Leo III crowned Charlemagne as Roman Emperor in Saint Peter's Basilica, Rome.
00:09:19
He was considered the successor of Rome and his empire earned the title of holy Roman empire.
00:09:28
Since that event the church slowly began to dominate Europe.
00:09:38
Medieval was a century of religious revival in Europe. At this time the
00:09:42
religion to grow and affect almost all human activities including administration,
00:09:49
as a consequence of science that has evolved in antiquity and marginalized
00:09:55
and regarded as witchcraft that distract people from thinking of divinity
00:10:17
at the time of the work of scientists widely repudiated by the Church for being the bearer of
00:10:23
teachings heretical even the Roman Catholic Church had a court or inquisition tasked with judging
00:10:31
and punishing anyone who dared and disagreed with the official teachings of the church at that time.
00:10:53
The beginning of the conflict between scientists and the church can be traced to the research of Nicolas
00:11:01
Copernicus. ,
00:11:08
A planetary system with the sun at its center otherwise known as the heliocentric theory.
00:11:16
Several centuries earlier, precisely in the 3rd century BC
00:11:22
Greek astronomer Aristarchus had called the Sun the central unit surrounded by the earth,
00:11:27
but this theory was discarded in the lifetime of Copernicus because the idea of the earth as the
00:11:34
center of the solar system was more accepted by the Catholic Church, which was very influential at that time.
00:11:44
This Copernican theory shook the Catholic Church and was considered a violation of religious teachings.
00:11:51
Finally, until his death at the age of 70, Copernicus did not make
00:11:56
any meaningful dissemination of his theory. The church branded him a heretic
00:12:03
by marking his grave with the words "The loser who asks God for forgiveness is
00:12:09
like a thief who died on the cross". The end of Copernicus' life was still
00:12:21
luckier than Giordano Brunodi. Giordano Bruno was an Italian philosopher and
00:12:27
mathematician who is very determined to support the Copernican theory
00:12:36
he himself belongs to spawn once the relevant work in the present which states that the star
00:12:42
is just the sun surrounded by exoplanets. Bruno was immediately considered a heretic by the inquisition,
00:12:49
he was thrown into prison and sentenced to death even though Bruno did not even want to
00:12:57
change his stance on his scientific beliefs. The church was getting so angry that
00:13:03
he was sentenced to be burned alive in the city square of Rome. Because of his persistence in
00:13:16
defending scientific theories in this modern era, Bruno was nicknamed the warrior of science.
00:13:28
Even though the church inquisition had punished the proponents of the heliocentric
00:13:34
theory, in fact the theory was getting solid evidence in the hands of scientists. In 1604
00:13:42
Galileo Galilei publicly stated that he supported the theory put forward by Copernicus.
00:13:52
Galileo also had a big hand in improving the telescope by making magnifications
00:13:58
up to 30 times with better image quality. With the telescope he created,
00:14:05
Galileo then observed objects in the solar system. He was then
00:14:11
able to put forward a theory about the solar system in more detail and reasonable.
00:14:20
Because he supported Copernicus' theory, Galileo was opposed by various parties, as a result he was
00:14:26
then arrested and taken to Rome to undergo an inquisition. The Catholic Church ordered
00:14:33
Galileo to forbid condemning and despising this theory. Galileo was sentenced to life under
00:14:42
house arrest and Galleo's books were also banned. Such conditions
00:14:50
made European society experience a decline in science and
00:14:56
intellectual backwardness so that the Middle Ages was referred to as the DARK CENTURY.
