Reflections

Raimcelle Gee P. Batucan


During our 3rd grading, I have learned a lot. Like the Renaissance and Reformation, Growth of Nation States, the spread of European power and many more. I have learned a lot of things that I don’t know at all. Like the Italy was the birthplace of Renaissance.

The renaissance education had a great impact to the people, especially the art masterpiece during the Renaissance. I have also learned about the reformation and how Martin Luther and the other reformers stood up for what they want, how the church abused the people long time ago, how they abused their power just to get what they want. And also I have learned about the strong monarchy that was built in Europe, I was really amazed how the British able to fought against other country or state who wants to colonize them, and of course how the Americans gained their independence.
It was really cool how the house of York and the house of Lancaster declared the war of Roses. The name was so cool and very unique.

For the Spain and Portugal, they had a long time rivalry, a lot of war had been made just to defeat one another. and I have learned a lot about them, one of them was both Spain and Portugal were very influential.

I learned a lot of things this third grading. Our lessons in the third grading are all about the renaissance and reformation, about the growth of nation-states, about the spread of the European power, about the second stage of colonization, and all about the conflict of interest among other nations. I learned that Catholic church or its priests are abusive of their powers. I learned that the Europeans are the strongest among all other continents before. I learned that almost all of the discoveries and inventions came from Europe. I learned that without the European nations, we won’t be discovered. They know all about the routes and direction of the earth because of their studies and explorations. It is not bad that they colonized us even if we think that it is bad because if they did not colonize and explore us, we will not have our own identity. They spread their Cultures and traditions to us, they taught us about their studies and discoveries, and they helped us. There are good and there are bad effects about the way they explore and colonize nations. I learned that everything that is happening now has a great connection in our history

For this third grading period, I had much to learn, though I may not be able to recall all of it for its quantity. Firstly, I had learned about the Renaissance period. Learned about the church, it’s power over the people and it’s government and how it was gradually being shaken up by all the other beliefs.

Next, I had learned about the rise of the different nation-states. In this lesson, I had learned about how all the great countries of before and some of today rose to power and broke its chains from its former government which restricted them from their peak of power. I had also read and researched on how they slowly become independent and became a better nation-state.

Next was the expansion of the European powers. I learned why the Europeans ventured to the other depths of the Earth to find another trade route. Another reason was because Christianity was slowly depleting and they needed new followers. One more was the need of spices. They needed to preserve the food, and since there was no refrigerator before, spices were the next best thing to keep the meat’s freshness. Though these were their main reasons, they also wanted to expand their territories in order to overpower the other rising nation-states.

Last was the Second stage of colonization. Even though we didn’t really indulge in the topic, from what I have read, the European’s next target of colonization was the Asian countries. Though at first they succeeded, the hearts of the people still craved for their independence, and so they worked hard to get it.

I learn about their history of the other country and what have they done to their country and their people and how war begins. as a student i care about history and why they want to conquered another places or country to be a master and want to control everything. I learn napoleon history and how he became a great general of France and how people likes him. I like history we can learn from them even if it's in the past we always want to hear their stories of how did they do all thing in earth or what have they done on earth they have different opinion and ideas to contribute or share to us what they learn. and the revolution of the other country like Philippines, Spaniard attack us they abuse us kill some of us and the taxes and that's what i learn and that's how people want power to control everything they always want war because they want to conquer the place or country.


Kate Dominique U. Seville

Last 3rd grading, I learned a lot of things. From the renaissance period until the last stage of colonization. hopefully I still remember some of its topic. First, Renaissance period takes place at Europe. It is the start of the cultural movement of Romans and Greeks. Mostly, religious wars happened during this period. Renaissance also focused about humanism. Many people was discovered during this period. From painters, architect and even writers.

Then, during the rise of different nation states, more powerful countries were starting to come forth. These countries tried to free themselves from their conquerors because they felt trapped in their own country and they didn't want to be enslaved in their own countries.

In, the third lesson, I had known many explorers that helped in discovering new places like America. Some explorers also found some new trade routes because the Muslims were blocking their old ones, Some explorers also proved that the Earth was round and not a flat surface after they circumnavigated the world.

In the last lesson, we only discussed the Indian and Chinese exploitation and it was not very detailed but I knew that they were exploited because of the resources that they have in their nation.  


Cha Hyun Woo

I learned that Renaissance means 'rebirth' because it began with a rebirth of the literature and art of ancient Greeks and Roman Art, literature and education are very important for the people of Renaissance.

During this period, people became more interested in living a full life rather than waiting for the next.
Also, people discovered the corruption of the church. Because of this, the influence of the church became weaker and a religious revolution called Reformation was formed against the church.
But, the church grew powerful again after the counter reformation.

American Revolution Timeline

1760s
1760
1760 – Pierre de Rigaud, Governor of New France, capitulates (September 8) to Field Marshal Jeffrey Amherst. This ends most fighting in North America between France and Great Britain in the French and Indian War. Amherst becomes the First British Governor-General of territories that would later become Canada plus lands (Ohio Country and Illinois Country) west of the American Colonies.
1760 – King George II of Great Britain dies (October 25) and is succeeded by his grandson George III.
1761
1761 - New England Planters immigrate to Nova Scotia, Canada (1759-1768) to take up lands left vacant after the Expulsion of the Acadians.
1763
1763 – The Treaty of Paris (February 10) formally ends the French and Indian War. France cedes most of its territories in North America to Great Britain, but Louisiana west of the Mississippi River is ceded toSpain.
1763 – Previously allied with France, Native American tribes in the Great Lakes region resist the policies of the British under Amherst. Pontiac's Rebellion begins, lasting until 1766.


1763 – King George's Royal Proclamation of 1763 (October 7) establishes administration in territories newly ceded by France. To prevent further violence between settlers and Native Americans, the Proclamation sets a western boundary on the American colonies.
1764
1764 – The Sugar Act (April 5), intended to raise revenues, and the Currency Act (September 1), prohibiting the colonies from issuing paper money, are passed byParliament. These Acts, coming during the economic slump that followed the French and Indian War, are resented by the colonists and lead to protests.
1765
1765 – To help defray the cost of keeping troops in America, Parliament enacts (March 22) the Stamp Act, imposing a tax on many types of printed materials used in the colonies. Seen as a violation of rights, the Act sparks violent demonstrations in several Colonies. Virginia's House of Burgesses adopts (May 29) the Virginia Resolvesclaiming that, under British law, Virginians could be taxed only by an assembly to which they had elected representatives. Delegates from nine colonies attend the Stamp Act Congress which adopts (October 19) a Declaration of Rights and Grievances and petitions Parliament and the king to repeal the Act.
1765 – Parliament enacts (March 24) the Quartering Act, requiring the Colonies to provide housing, food, and other provisions to British troops. The act is resisted or circumvented in most of the colonies. In 1767 and again in 1769, Parliament suspended the governor and legislature of New York for failure to comply.
1766
1766 – The British Parliament repeals (March 18) the unpopular Stamp Act of the previous year, but, in the simultaneous Declaratory Act, asserts its "full power and authority to make laws and statutes ... to bind the colonies and people of America ... in all cases whatsoever".
1766 – Liberty Pole erected in New York City commons in celebration of the Stamp Act repeal (May 21). An intermittent skirmish with the British garrison over the removal of this and other poles, and their replacement by the Sons of Liberty, rages until the Province of New York is under the control of the revolutionary New York Provincial Congress in 1775
1767
1767 – The Townshend Acts, named for Chancellor of the Exchequer Charles Townshend, are passed by Parliament (June 29), placing duties on many items imported into America.
1768
1768 - In April, England's Secretary of State for the Colonies, Lord Hillsborough, orders colonial governors to stop their own assemblies from endorsing Adams' circular letter. Hillsborough also orders the governor of Massachusetts to dissolve the general court if the Massachusetts assembly does not revoke the letter. By month's end, the assemblies of New Hampshire, Connecticut and New Jersey have endorsed the letter.
1768 - In May, a British warship armed with 50 cannons sails into Boston harbor after a call for help from custom commissioners who are constantly being harassed by Boston agitators. In June, a customs official is locked up in the cabin of the Liberty, a sloop owned by John Hancock. Imported wine is then unloaded illegally into Boston without payment of duties. Following this incident, customs officials seize Hancock's sloop. After threats of violence from Bostonians, the customs officials escape to an island off Boston, then request the intervention of British troops.
1768 - In July, the governor of Massachusetts dissolves the general court after the legislature defies his order to revoke Adams' circular letter. In August, in Boston and New York, merchants agree to boycott most British goods until the Townshend Acts are repealed.
