Commonly called the Middle Ages, this was a time period of extreme change for Europe, beginning with the fall of the Western Roman Empire. To a continent that had seen a drastic shift in the power structure, the world seemed to be particularly harsh. Rome had been a major player across Europe for well over a millennium. Then it was gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is also a time period that still inspires art, literature, and philosophy today. There were men who lived during the Middle Ages who are still quoted and revered today, such as Saint Thomas Aquinas. They were almost always men of the cloth (religious men), but not always. People still enjoy the works of Geoffrey Chaucer, a famous writer who was also a merchant. The architecture of this time has also been used and reused for many centuries as well. The cathedrals and castles built during the Middle Ages still remain while younger structures have long since crumbled. Perhaps the most famous architecture from the time though is known as the Gothic style. The look and feel of the Gothic style have inspired many generations, including the Romantics of the 1800s and the horror\/mystery genre that is still so popular today. However, it was the birth of universities that reflects the thinking of the time. Prior to the Middle Ages, there was no higher education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of the institutions and ideas that the men of the Renaissance would explore began during the Middle Ages. It was a time when Europe healed from the fall of one superpower and transitioned into something that more closely resembled the map of Europe today.

Populated by colonists, many of them a generation or less from life in an England bathed in religious turmoil, Massachusetts was not the safe haven that the fleeing Puritans had hoped it would be. Persecuted for their faith in Europe, the Puritans had pictured a kind of utopia founded on biblical principles. They saw the New World as a new beginning, a kind of second chance for humanity. It would be only 72 years after the arrival of the Mayflower that the events in Salem would make it blatantly obvious that humanity had already blown it again.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This is not the story of the trials.

For the majority of history, it was the kings and emperors who wielded the most influence, commanded the largest armies, and had the largest treasures. And all of them would laugh at the idea of some merchants managing to not only catch up to their supremacy and riches but even surpass them. Yet they did.

The Massachusetts of 1692 was a very different one to the state we know today. Populated by colonists, many of them a generation or less from life in an England bathed in religious turmoil, Massachusetts was not the safe haven that the fleeing Puritans had hoped it would be. Persecuted for their faith in Europe, the Puritans had pictured a kind of utopia founded on biblical principles. They saw the New World as a new beginning, a kind of second chance for humanity. It would be only 72 years after the arrival of the Mayflower that the events in Salem would make it blatantly obvious that humanity had already blown it again.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This is not the story of the trials. This is the story of its people. This is not an attempt to explain the events of 1692. It is an attempt to bring to life the victims who died so unjustly. In this book, we will walk side by side with the destitute Sarah Good as she realizes that after having lost all she owns, her reputation, her baby, and even her life will still be taken from her. We stand at the bar with Rebecca Nurse, a sweet little old lady who is sentenced to hang for what she must have perceived to be the most heinous of crimes. We witness George Burroughs at the gallows, a former minister now condemned to die for his supposed alliance with Satan, as he delivers a speech so stirring that it takes quick thinking from his enemies to prevent the crowd from rushing forth to cut him down.

All across the continent, people learned just how gruesome and horrific disease could be as the plague crossed the boundaries of countries and the lines established by society, killing everyone equally. It showed that no one--not even archbishops and kings--were immune from its grasp. The ferocity with which the plague swept across the continent, even reaching the shores of England, demonstrated how unprepared they were for something on such a large scale. It was the first time that a major disease would strike the continent after the fall of the Roman Empire, but it would not be the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the next few centuries, the bubonic plague would return several times. Although it was incredibly deadly, it never again had the same catastrophic effect on the European population. People began to study it from a scientific perspective instead of the same superstitious angle or religious fatalism, making it possible to understand exactly what was causing the deaths. Today, those in the medical profession can easily treat the bubonic plague if they realize what it is early enough.

Carthage had a powerful navy, a mercenary army, and ample resources to act as an authority in trade and politics.

This polarity of Africa can be traced to ancient times, and the world-shaping events that occurred here need to be studied and understood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the topics covered in part 1 of this book include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Kingdom of Kush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Land of Punt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarthage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Kingdom of Aksum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ghana Empire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Mali Empire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the topics covered in part 2 of this book include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNubia and the Emergence of the Kingdom of Kush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom Alara to the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rulers of the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelations between Kush and Egypt Continue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKush between the 6th and 3rd Centuries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Meroitic Dynasty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Last Centuries of the Kingdom of Kush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Society of Kush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo if you want to learn more about ancient Africa and the Kingdom of Kush, scroll up and click the \"add to cart\" button!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51325819257055,"sku":"9781647489472","price":32.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/orMn4kHZKV9781647489472_03124365-b6a0-4939-8299-f75d1c914dae.webp?v=1788451341"},{"product_id":"the-treaty-of-versailles-a-captivating-guide-to-the-peace-treaty-that-ended-world-war-1-and-its-impact-on-germany-and-the-rise-of-adolf-hitler-hardcover","title":"The Treaty of Versailles: A Captivating Guide to the Peace Treaty That Ended World War 1 and Its Impact on Germany and the Rise of Adolf Hitler - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you want to discover the captivating history of the Treaty of Versailles, then keep reading...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe treaty that ended the First World War, also known as the \"war to end all wars,\" was signed at the Palace of Versailles, which had been the home of French kings until 1789 and remains one of the most beautiful structures in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough the men of Versailles (and they were overwhelmingly men) had arrived in Paris to put an end to World War I, by the time the conference ended, the main goal of the diplomats and national leaders had turned into ending wars for all time.

This town was one of the hardest hit in the deadliest wildfire event in American history-and no, I'm not talking about the Great Chicago Fire, even though it also occurred on the very same night. The Great Peshtigo Fire of 1871 claimed four times as many lives as the fire in Chicago, and yet this cruel twist of fate has left it almost unheard-of, while the (untrue) tale of Catherine O'Leary's cow continues to echo through the centuries with unabated vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story of the Great Peshtigo Fire has not been told nearly often enough, and yet it is a story that will captivate every reader.

It ushered in a period of Spartan hegemony which was radically different than when the Athenians sat atop the Greek world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSome of the topics covered in part 1 of this book include: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWho Were the Spartans\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Growth of Spartan Power: The Messenian Wars\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Growing Rivalry with Athens: The Greco-Persian Wars\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVictory over Athens: The Birth of the Spartan Empire\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpartan Hegemony, the Corinthian War, and Sparta's Decline\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpartan Government, Military, and Society\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more!\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSome of the topics covered in part 2 of this book include: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOn the Eve of War\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Ionian Revolt\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDarius I Marches on Greece: The Battle of Marathon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Interwar Years: Greece and Persia Prepare to Meet Again\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Invasion of Xerxes Part 1: The Battles of Thermopylae and Artemisium\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Invasion of Xerxes Part 2: The Battles of Salamis and Plataea\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Delian League Wars\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Aftermath of the War\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Greek Military\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Persian Military\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more!\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSome of the topics covered in part 3 of this book include: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLeading up to The Battle of Thermopylae\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Main Characters of the Battle of Thermopylae\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGreece and Persia Prepare for Battle\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Battle of Thermopylae: Seven Days to Last the Test of Time\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMeanwhile, at Artemisium\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAfter the Battle of Thermopylae\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Greek and Persian Armies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more!\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSome of the topics covered in part 4 of this book include: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstanding Peloponnese\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Peloponnesian and Delian Leagues\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRising Tensions Between Athens and Sparta: The First Peloponnesian War to the Thirty Years' Peace\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Archidamian War to the Peace of Nicias\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Attack of Syracuse Brings More War\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Ionian War and the Fall of Athens\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFighting in an Ancient Greek Army\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe War's Impact on Greek Culture\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePhilosophy During War: Socrates\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more!\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo if you want to learn more about the history of Sparta, click the \"add to cart\" button!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51325829775583,"sku":"9781647480936","price":32.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/j-gFUyJVu79781647480936_d1baea7f-2c82-4c7b-b5cb-4be42375d8a8.webp?v=1788451376"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/captivating-history.oembed?page=11","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
