Power Point from Thursday

Here is the rest of the Power Point.

"Problem #3: The Ottoman Turks" will not be on the test. You do not have to know about the Battle of Mohacs, as we have not yet discussed it in class.

Burgher Reform

•at first urban phenomenon

•why?

•trading cities

–hard-working merchant class (vs. “lazy priests”)

–middle class affected lower class

–financial independence (vs. Church and HRE taxes)

•more Catholic in S. Germany

–investments in property (incl. churches)

–closer to Italy (there were exceptions to this)

–Habsburg family influence

–stronger nobility

•

Spread of Reformation

•Diets allowed for delays in official decision regarding reformers (afraid of defections/civil war in HRE)

•1529: Reforming princes met in Speyer to complain about Charles

•prepared a “protest” (Lutherans -> Reformers -> “Protestants”)

•Bohemia fertile ground; why?

•Hus!

•also Hungary; why?

•Catholic armies losing to Turks; open area for Protestant missionaries

German Catholic cathedral became Lutheran

Nothing about the Reformation spreading to Scandinavia will be on this test.

Since this was a large unit, and since Greek Week took up a lot of fourth block, we will have two tests in this unit. Tomorrow's multiple choice will cover mostly Luther and related political and cultural issues. Later, there will be a test on the Peace of Augsburg, Zwingli and Calvin, and the "reformation" in England.

Check back later today for an update regarding the study guide.
