RENAISSANCE

renaissance

Period: Jan 1, 1300 to Dec 31, 1650

Dante: 9 sins of hell- (This image shows us how Dante looked like when he published the 'Inferno', it shocked the people and Catholic church with such touching poem)

Oct 20, 1300

This has affected the Renaissance Time more than our modern time. In the start of the renaissance many peopl believed in god. However sometimes priests who were the leaders of the Catholic church became corrupt and they started to take money from the people by using all sorts of lies. Even they had babies whic wasn't allowed at all. So because of Dante' inferno, Catholic church became more pure.

Invention of the Printing Press:- This image shows us how printing press looked like when it was first invented, this helped the books to be spread)

Oct 20, 1440

This affected our society because it provided us the ability to print out the documents rapidly and accurately. Mainly, the price of the copies would go down because there would be so many copies and millions of people can take one document each. This is still affecting on our lives because we always use printers every day in order to print things out. So I would say that this invention affected our society directly until about 10th century, but it developed to again as a printer.

First machine that measures the amount of rain gets invented in Korea-

Dec 4, 1441

This invention was invented by a most famous inventor in Korea called Jang-Young-Shill. He created many other inventions but this is one of the main inventions. This invention is really important because this was the first device that could record the amount of rain. This affected the farmers because it helped the farmers to predict how much rain would come in a week or month and they could prepare for the rain before it comes. Right now the device developed and still tells us how much it rained

The original Korean gets created

May 24, 1443

This impacted our Korean society because this Korean is still being used and shows that Korea is a country that is independent. First, the Korean we are using right now is very easy for people to use and it is able to make various sounds of many different things. So if Korean hasn’t been created, then it would be inconvenient for us to use Korean right now. Secondly, invention of Korean has shown us that Korea got more independant because China couldn't make Korea use their language.

Christopher Columbus: The Discovery of America- (This image shows us the scene of discovery, it gave us land to live, but as we colonized the countries many lives were taken away)

Oct 20, 1492

This discovery affected our world rather than just one person. Right now there are hundred thousands of people living in America. Without the discovery of this huge land, the people who are living in America would be homeless. However this affected many countries because of colonism. When America was discovered, many countries came in and killed thousands of native Americans in order to have more land. So thousands of innocent lives were sacrificed because of the discovery and colonism.

Leonardo Davinci's inventions- (This image shows us how tank looked like in the past, even though Leonardo didn't want his invention to be used in war it is stil being used in war)

Oct 22, 1493

This affected our society a lot because most of the inventions that Leonardo Davinci made were invented and used and even now we are all using his inventions. Firstly, we all use planes and helicopters and boats in our life. When we travel or transport things to the other places, than you will have to use these inventions in order to go further distance swiftly. However, these inventions are affecting us in a bad way. Tanks, planes, helicopters developed a lot and now it is used to kill people.

Michelangelo’s artwork- (This image shows us the picture of 'Creation of Adam' this reflects a lot of skills of art he knew)

Sep 19, 1511

Michelangelo’s artwork affected the world of art. First, Michelangelo reflects a lot of skills and points of the art in Renaissance, for example perspectives and shados. The points that Michelangelo used in his picture developed our modern art. These points are all used in our modern art becuase those poitns are essential for art. Lastly, some pictures that weren't about gods motivated other artist to draw about other things rather than gods.

Machiavelli: The Prince publication-( This image shows us Machiavelli, he had great ideas about how to be a leader but he used lies, assassination and trait)

Oct 20, 1513

Book called ‘The Prince’ has brought good things and bad things together. Firstly, because of ‘The Prince’, it led some leaders into a disaster. For example, Hitler copied Machiavelli’s idea but he used the ideas to conquer the world. Hitler killed millions of people in result and he suicide. Also many dictators like Stalin or Kaddafi killed many people using some ideas in ‘The Prince’. So it is still possible for this book to affect us again.

Martin Luther: The ‘95 theses’ publication- (This image shows us how the 95 theses looked like when it was published, his theories started the religious reformation)

Oct 20, 1517

This affected many people in a religion part. First it motivated many people that Catholic Church is not always fair and they sometimes aren’t doing what they are supposed to do. It changed the course of the history by allowing many people to read bibles and get to be Christians, so Martin Luther motivated people to become Christians and he pointed out things that Catholic church must change. This doesn’t affect the modern times a lot, but it was one of the progress of having freedom of religion

John Calvin- (The image shows us how Calvin looked like when he created Calvinism, he was really important stage of freeing the religion)

Nov 11, 1534

This affected us because he was one of the people who tried to change Catholic church. Also he created Calvinism which is a belief that working hard is one of the purest ways to serve the god. In this time period, merchants and traders became more respected because of calvinism. In modern times Calvin doesn't really affect us directly. However, he was one of the important stage of freeing the religion, he affects us. If Calvin didn't do what he did, then we wouldn't have freedom of religion now.

Religious war- (This image shows us the scene of religious war and we now have the freedom of religion, however thousands of lives were sacrificed to achieve it)

Oct 22, 1555

This event has affected us a lot because this was the part of the progress of freeing everyone from believing only one religion. If this war didn’t start or end, then right now everyone would be Christian. This affected the Catholic church because as people started to leave Catholic and join other religions, they lost power because there aren't much people believing in them. However, we got affected a lot because now we have the freedom of religion and we can believe anything we want.

The war between Japan and Korea starts with invasion of Japan

Feb 19, 1592

This is not something that has given something to us, but it motivated the Koreans that defence of their country is very important. Until Japan invaded Korea, Japan wasn’t a country with a lot of their own culture. However, when they attacked and looted the culture of Korea, then they became a country with a lot of culture. However, Japan didn’t just shock Korea, they shocked people’s mind. This made Korea be more defensive and careful because Korea learnt that enemies can attack Korea anytime.

The first ship that is made of metal gets invented

Aug 23, 1592

The first ship that was made of metal is the ‘Turtle Ship’. It was invented while Japan was attacking Korea. A captain who commanded the whole army of Korean naval force invented this in order to protect Korea. This changed Korean naval force 180 degrees because Korea started to produce the ship immediately and it actually destroyed the whole army of Japanese naval force. Most importantly the whole world is using the ship that is made of metal. So this idea influenced the world.

The creation of the best medicine book in Korea

Aug 5, 1608

One of the biggest and main medicine book in Korea is called the ‘Dong-yu-bo-gam’. This influceced Korea becasue many facts in this book is really accurate and true. So doctors in Korea started to use the curing options in the real life and there are hospitals which only use these ways. Also many other countries started to read this book and use the knowledge. So this book basically developed Korean medical skills.

Galileo Galilee: The Heliocentric Theory -(The image shows us how Galilee Galileo looked like, he ended the poeple's thought about Earth being in the center of universe)

Oct 20, 1616

The Heliocentric Theory is one of the most important facts found in science. It affected the technology and belief. If this Theory wasn’t proven, then it would change the astronomy. First people would think that the Earth is the center of the universe which would make sun a planet. Secondly people would think that Earth never moves at all. It wouldn’t rotate itself or go around any planet. So Galileo replaced the astronomy with right facts. This affected our modern astronomy too by discoveries.
