The High Middle Ages, or high medieval period, was the period of European history that lasted from AD 1000 to 1350. The High Middle Ages were preceded by the Early Middle Ages and were followed by the Late Middle Ages, which ended around AD 1500.

Key historical trends of the High Middle Ages include the rapidly increasing population of Europe, which brought about great social and political change from the preceding era, and the Renaissance of the 12th century, including the first developments of rural exodus and urbanization. By 1350, the robust population increase had greatly benefited the European economy, which reached levels that would not be seen again in some areas until the 19th century. That trend faltered during the Late Middle Ages because of a series of calamities, most notably the Black Death, but also numerous wars as well as economic stagnation.

From around 780, Europe saw the last of the barbarian invasions and became more socially and politically organized. The Carolingian Renaissance stimulated scientific and philosophical activity in Northern Europe. The first universities started operating in Bologna, Oxford, Paris, Salamanca, Cambridge and Modena. The Vikings settled in the British Isles, France, and elsewhere, and Norse Christian kingdoms started developing in their Scandinavian homelands. The Magyars ceased their expansion in the 10th century, and by the year 1000, the Christian Kingdom of Hungary had become a recognized state in Central Europe that was forming alliances with regional powers. With the brief exception of the Mongol invasions in the 13th century, major nomadic incursions ceased. The powerful Byzantine Empire of the Macedonian and Komnenos dynasties gradually gave way to the resurrected Serbia and Bulgaria and to a successor crusader state (1204 to 1261), who continually fought each other until the end of the Latin Empire. The Byzantine Empire was reestablished in 1261 with the recapture of Constantinople from the Latins, though it was no longer a major power and would continue to falter through the 14th century, with remnants lasting until the mid-15th century.

In the 11th century, populations north of the Alps began a more intensive settlement, targeting "new" lands, some areas of which had reverted to wilderness after the end of the Western Roman Empire. In what historian Charles Higounet called the "great clearances", Europeans cleared and cultivated some of the vast forests and marshes that lay across much of the continent. At the same time, settlers moved beyond the traditional boundaries of the Frankish Empire to new frontiers beyond the Elbe River, which tripled the size of Germany in the process. The Catholic Church, which reached the peak of its political power around then, called armies from across Europe to a series of Crusades against the Seljuk Turks. The Crusaders occupied the Holy Land and founded the Crusader States in the Levant. Other wars led to the Northern Crusades. The Christian kingdoms took much of the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim control, and the Normans conquered southern Italy, all part of the major population increases and the resettlement patterns of the era.

The High Middle Ages produced many different forms of intellectual, spiritual and artistic works. The age also saw the rise of ethnocentrism, which evolved later into modern national identities in most of Europe, the ascent of the great Italian city-states and the rise and fall of the Islamic civilization of Al-Andalus. The rediscovery of the works of Aristotle, at first indirectly through medieval Jewish and Islamic philosophy, led Maimonides, Ibn Sina, Ibn Rushd, Thomas Aquinas and other thinkers of the period to expand Scholasticism, a combination of Judeo-Islamic and Catholic ideologies with the ancient philosophy. For much of this period, Constantinople remained Europe's most populous city, and Byzantine art reached a peak in the 12th century. In architecture, many of the most notable Gothic cathedrals were built or completed around this period.

The Crisis of the Late Middle Ages began at the start of the 14th century and marked the end of the period.

Full transcript available here: https://schillerinstitute.com/....blog/2023/10/25/inte

Mike Billington: I watched an interview with you this morning. It was very interesting. You focused on the arrogance and hubris of the West, of being “out of date.” You referred to the UK this way: “It still thinks it is an empire which is long since gone.” I appreciated those sentiments. But you also said that there’s nothing stopping the US and Europe from changing, from joining with the BRICs and the Global South in development instead of the threats and war policies against them. I think there’s a huge irony in the fact that the Chinese are actually, in a very real sense, using the American system approach of economics, the policy of Alexander Hamilton, which focused on government directed credit for basic infrastructure and the general welfare, while the US has given up on the American System altogether in favor of adopting the British model of Hobbesian one against all and unregulated free market anarchy. The Belt and Road infrastructure you focused on — you indicated that the three aspects of the Belt and Road are: infrastructure; energy; and digital, and that China actually leads in all three of those areas. Would you agree that China is using this Hamiltonian approach to economics, perhaps coming from Sun Yat Sen, who was highly influenced by Hamilton?

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: China has what I would simply call a mixed economy, which means it’s partly state directed, partly market directed. I think all successful economies are mixed economies and the US, even when it uses free market rhetoric, has a large role of the government, not necessarily an accurate role, but a large role of government in the economy. Different countries come down differently on how they carve up the relative weights and responsibilities of public, private and civil society sectors. It’s true that the UK and US approach is relatively more on the laissez faire side. I’d say relatively more, with lower taxes, certainly as a share of national income, and much lower social outlays. The UK more than the United States, even though it started with laissez faire in the 19th century, the UK adopted a National Health Service, of course, after World War Two. The United States never did that.

China’s a very pragmatic and economically well-governed country, very impressive during the past 40 years, because they’ve had a planning model with a major role of state finance, combined with a very dynamic and competitive market sector and very entrepreneurial lead in many sectors as well. I was just in China and noted a huge rise of electric vehicles, and there are hundreds of electric vehicle companies right now, start ups. It’s expected that the number will whittle down quickly to perhaps between 5 and 10 such companies, but right now it’s named to be in the hundreds of companies producing electric vehicles, and it’s a fiercely competitive market inside China.

Now, when it comes to the international side, China’s just doing a lot of things that the United States did for a while after World War II, which was to help finance infrastructure abroad, make the way for us multinational companies, in fact. And China right now is doing that. The United States doesn’t do much internationally at all other than war, but it doesn’t do peaceful economic development activities. You could see in the rhetoric of American leaders, politicians, their resentment that China dares to help other countries to build infrastructure. The Belt and Road Initiative, which is a very valid and quite beneficial win-win program of China, together with more than 150 other countries, by the way, is badmouthed every day by the United States, mainly out of resentment and jealousy because the US doesn’t have that kind of spirit to make connections with other countries. China is making massive investments and working with other countries to help them with developing an electric power grid, basic renewable energy sources, fast rail, 5G technologies, paved roads and highways, and many other desirable things that those counterpart countries really need. Now Biden is talking about a road project from India to the Mideast, and he’s so proud of this one road. It doesn’t exist. It’s not financed. It may may be a good idea, but it’s a little pathetic, actually, to to tell you the truth, because China has dozens of projects like this all over the world. The United States has thought about one literally. I guess they took the the “One Belt, One Road” idea, but they took One Road, one! Whereas China is doing dozens of these projects. So the US is kind of looking on.

Only 0.3 percent of the Earth's total water supply is suitable for human consumption. Ominously, this precious resource is beginning to shrink. Natural water reservoirs are drying up due to climate change.

Glaciologist Daniel Farinotti surveys melting glaciers in the Swiss Alps. If glaciers continue to melt at the current rate, he says, there will be no ice left by the end of the century. The disappearance of glacial meltwater would have fatal consequences.

From the heights of the Swiss Alpine glaciers, the documentary travels down to the seafloor, off the coast of Malta. Here, the crew of the German expedition ship "Sonne" wants to track down mysterious freshwater deposits in the Mediterranean. Next up is Peru where, in a bid to counteract the threat of water shortages, work is underway on projects that use ancient Incan methods.

In which John Green teaches you about a time of relative tumult in the United States, the 1960s. America was changing rapidly in the 1960s, and rights movements were at the forefront of those changes. Civil Rights were dominant, but the 60s also saw growth in the Women's Movement, the LGBT Rights Movement, the Latino Rights Movement, and the American Indian Movement. Also, Americans began to pay a bit more attention to the environment. All this change happened against the backdrop of the Cold War and the Rise of Conservatism. It was just wild. John will teach you about sit-ins, Freedom Rides, The March on Washington, MLK, JFK, LBJ, and NOW. Man, that is a lot of initialisms. And one acronym.

Hey teachers and students - Check out CommonLit's free collection of reading passages and curriculum resources to learn more about the events of this episode. Civil Rights stayed strong throughout the 1960s, beginning with the peaceful sit-in movement in 1960 in the South: https://www.commonlit.org/text....s/the-sit-in-movemen
The Civil Rights Movement reached a high point when Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his 1963 “I Have a Dream” Speech at the March on Washington: https://www.commonlit.org/texts/i-have-a-dream
After President Kennedy's assassination, President Johnson decided to promote Civil Rights as part of his Great Society program: https://www.commonlit.org/text....s/lyndon-baines-john
After Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in 1968, the growing black power movement gained even more popularity: https://www.commonlit.org/text....s/empowering-the-bla

1. Wide view of news conference
2. Cutaway reporters
3. SOUNDBITE: (English) Rev. Herbert Daughtry, pastor:
"So Mr President even if there is an indication that President Saddam Hussein has not completely, can't completely comply with the UN resolution, wouldn't containment be better than war? It has worked before, it can work again."
4. Wide view as Shaker El Sayed walks to microphone
5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Imam Shaker El Sayed, Secretary General, Muslim American Society:
"The stories of the Bush administration about weapons of mass destruction, cooperation and lack thereof are not met with anything in Iraq but disbelief and dismay. Nobody is buying our story. Our trip confirmed our prior belief that this war will definitely lead to the increase in anti-American sentiments and eventually more terrorist attacks against the United States, besides the incalculable sufferings and miseries of the Iraqi people. We've heard the fears of the disintegration of the Iraqi nation, the division, the tribalism and the serious potential of an eventual civil war similar to that of Afghanistan. People are scared."
6. Cutaway cameramen
7. SOUNDBITE: (English) Imam Shaker El Sayed, Secretary General, Muslim American Society:
"We met some students who came running to our car - are you among the American delegation, they asked. We said yes. They said can I tell you something to take to Mr Bush? We said yes. They said can you tell him not to bomb our house. I hope that the President heeds a child's request."
8. Cutaway reporter
9. SOUNDBITE: (English) Ron Daniels, Executive Director, Center for Constitutional Rights:
"Increasingly it seems to me the American people are seeing through the hypocrisy, the contradiction and are asking themselves resoundingly, why is this war necessary. What is it that is so dangerous about Iraq at this juncture that dictates and necessitates that there be a dropping of 3,000 bombs in the first 48 hours in shock and awe war that is being prosecuted. And I think that more and more people are coming to the conclusion that absence strong embracement from the United Nations, that they are not prepared to go on this misadventure."
10. Close-up of Daughtry and El Sayed

STORYLINE:

Seven African American leaders of different faiths have returned from a six-day peace mission to Baghdad, urging the Bush Administration to accept containment of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and to work with the United Nations to solve the international crisis.

The delegation toured schools, hospitals and met with local religious leaders in Baghdad.

A change in schedule meant they were unable to meet Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

One member of their group, former Congressman Walter Fauntroy, remained in Baghdad in an attempt to hold talks with the Iraqi leader. Fauntroy is due to return to the U-S on Wednesday.

The Rev. Herbert Daughtry, pastor of The House of the Lord Pentecostal Churches in Brooklyn, said that everywhere the delegation went they were told the Iraqi people told them they wanted peace.

Speaking in Washington at a news conference Monday, Reverend Daughtry appealed for the Bush administration to continue to use containment and to give U-N weapons inspectors more time.

The Secretary General of the Muslim American Society, Imam Shaker El Sayed said that after discussions with ordinary Iraqis he was convinced a war would lead to increased anti-American sentiments. El Sayed also said that many Iraqis are fearful of what would happen to their country in the aftermath of war.

Opening with a few comments about his preparation for his high school reunion, Rev. Gary Kennedy decided to pray and ask God if there was anything He wanted him to do or say while he was there. When he walked in he was greeted by two women, one of which asked him what she needed to go to heaven. Gary was able to lead her to accept Christ as her Savior that day. When we humble ourselves before God and ask Him for guidance in what we are to do, He not only provides opportunities for us, He also gives us the words to say.

The apostle Paul started many churches. Each time he had established a church, he then sought to move to another area to start another church. At one point when he was ready to move on he kept trying to go north or east or south, but he did not want to go west. God kept telling him to go west. Paul finally went west and found a group of women at a pool of water near Philippi. He told these women about the power of Jesus Christ and Lydia immediately believed. She was one of the people who helped Paul start the church in Philippi.

Paul always had a joyful attitude in his teaching and preaching. His joy was a part of the letters he wrote to four different churches. He held on to the truth that Jesus gives us a new beginning and new life. We, too, can live in the joy of that hope. Jesus is a constant that remains.

Paul was in prison awaiting his own execution when he wrote "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand. Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worth of praise, think about these things." REJOICE!
