Document Summary
1453~ france won the 100- year war and england entered a 30 year- long blood civil war. French monarchy rebuilt its power and prestige: extending his control over regions that england had previously controlled. 1494~ french king charles viii wanted to expand their reach into italy with an army of 30,000 soldiers going into italy. The italian hatred of french occupation was solidified. 1499~ king louis xii (successor of charles) launched 2nd attack. The war in italy lasted until 1529. Alliances and counter alliances spurred more violence. Northern italian city states monopolized on trade with asian. Asia was the chief economic underpinning of artistic and intellectual patronage. Trade routes shifted from mediterranean to the atlantic. Asian trade power was hurt by the increasing power of the ottoman empire. And imperial pretensions of the new russian ruler. After the ottoman empire took over constantinople: the muscovite grand duke assumed the title of tsar, and borrowed the byzantine ideology of divine election.
