The Aztecs had a supreme speaker (not an emperor) and divided their land into corporate clans, where each clan elected their administration officers and speakers. They also had a gran administration that elected the supreme speaker. Down in the south the Incas had what seems today a state of the art agricultural system. They had fertilizers and developed a different type of plant for the different type of soil. They had a massive diversity within potatoes reaching up to three thousands five hundred types of potatoes. They had different types of plants for the different types of systems. Throughout the whole Americas the indigenous people had an understanding in medicine. The Aztec had a sophisticated medical system ranging from surgeons to healers. The people from the Andes even preform brain surgery.

Humanist like Martin Luther that didn’t believe in the medieval education that had been taught in the educational system. Martin Luther became a big part of the Protestant Reformation when he began to question the Catholic Church and its beliefs in indulgence. Martin Luther began to believe that the only way of true salvation and forgiveness was from God himself and not from payments to the churches in return for forgiveness. Martin Luther began preaching to groups of people that to have a relationship with God they should follow Gods words in the Bible and not through the actions and words of the Pope.

Civilization spread as the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church both expanded and gained followers. Alternatively, The Second Great Schism contributed to the spread of monotheism and civilization after the Council of Constance (1414-1417) called to end the schism. Although the Council did not reform Christianity, it made the Protestant reformation possible which led to the spread of civilization in the form of Lutheranism and other reforms.…

    • 6 Pages

    The Byzantine Empire, sometimes known as the Eastern Roman Empire, was the predominantly Greek-speaking continuation of the eastern half of the Roman Empire during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Its capital city was Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), originally founded as Byzantium. It survived the 5th century fragmentation and fall of the Western Roman Empire and continued to exist for an additional thousand years until it fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. During most of its existence, the empire was the most powerful economic, cultural, and military force in Europe. Both "Byzantine Empire" and "Eastern Roman Empire" are historiographical terms created after the end of the realm; its citizens continued to refer to their empire as the Roman Empire.…

    The Fall of the Byzantine Empire (1453 A.D.)- The Byzantine Empire, for centuries, had been in a state of free-falling decline since the end of the Fourth Crusade. While the empire was eventually able to revive itself after the devastating loss that the Fourth Crusade put Byzantium in 1261 A.D. with the rise of the Palaiologoi Dynasty, the empire had already endured far too much destruction to be saved from the crippling effects of war. In 1453, the Ottoman Empire, which had taken much of the Byzantine territories in Europe prior to the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, had conquered Constantinople, it’s final Christian ruler dieing in battle, ending the main Palaiologoi line. A state for Greeks would not exist for another three centuries.…

    Just as the Byzantine Empire represented the political continuation of the Roman Empire, Byzantine art developed out of the art of the Roman Empire, which was itself profoundly influenced by ancient Greek art. Byzantine art never lost sight of this classical heritage. The Byzantine capital, Constantinople, was adorned with a large number of classical sculptures,[2]although they eventually became an object of some puzzlement for its inhabitants.[3] And indeed, the art produced during the Byzantine Empire, although marked by periodic revivals of a classical aesthetic, was above all marked by the development of a new aesthetic.…

    “The period of really intense political and cultural activity in the Byzantine Empire began after coup de’etat of 856.” The Byzantine Empire under the Macedonian dynasty reached “military power and political authority, and also the revival and flowering of Byzantine culture in all its aspects from philosophy to painting.” The Byzantine Empire really had political and cultural progress and expansion during this period. They were so superior to “its western and eastern foes” because “Western Europe staggered under the blows dealt by the Saracens, Vikings, and Magyars, and the Arabs lost the momentum that had carried them forward for two centuries.” Therefore, they managed to spread their culture, and “enjoyed the relative calm, wealth, and…
