Florence Italy was controlled by the Medici family during the renaissance period in Europe. This family was very important to the history and influence in Europe. Politically and artistically this family has played a large role in the development of the city of Florence. The Medici family has been responsible for many aspects surrounding not only Florentine history, but the Italian and European history as well because of their renaissance influences, contributions to education and the overall history of Florentine.

The Medici family had many renaissance influences in Europe. This family was the richest in all of Italy during the 13th century. They had earned their fortune through banking. They gained popularity and begin to gain influence throughout Europe. For example, two of the most admired popes during the renaissance where members of the Medici family. The Medici’s soon won control of the government of Florence, Italy.

The Medici family had many contributions to education. These contributions include funding for the arts, which effected history all around Europe. Cosimo de Medici was one of the wealthiest men during his time. Cosimo sought to make his city Florence the most beautiful he could. In his efforts to do so, Cosimo bought a rare collection of 800 books, and then built a public library to house those books. This library is the first free public library in Europe. His son, Lorenzo the Magnificent is a well respected ruler of Florence, and one of the most important of all of the Medici’s. In fact “Magnificent” was a common term used as a common title of respect in Italy. Lorenzo also prolonged the tradition his father has left. These contributions show how the Medici’s affected Florentine, Italian, and European history.

The Medici family had contributed over all to the history of Florence, Italy and Europe. Machiavelli, who was born in Florence, grew up under the rule of Lorenzo the magnificent. Machiavelli is well known for writing “The Prince” in which he talks of how a ruler can have so much power but still maintain it, regardless of ones enemies. In Florence, Donatello revolutionized the art of sculpture, and Masaccio developed the art of using perspective. Both of these artists were inspired in the influence made by the Medici family.

The Medici family has been responsible for many aspects surrounding not only Florentine history, but the Italian and European history as well because of their renaissance influences, contributions to education and the overall history of Florentine. The Influence of the Medici family soon spread and was used as an inspiration to excel in many arts. The Sistine Chapel and “David” were both inspired by these types of influences. It was not long until the renaissance spread to northern Europe where the works of many famous artists show the culture of the Medici family’s contribution and influence to society.

Well, there are many major war crimes Japan made in World War 2 (not to speak badly of Japanese people). There was the death march and so many other heinous stuff Japan did to colonies under the Axis power (Germany, Italy and Japan). Well, I think it would be the Manila massacre. It killed over 100,000 civilians including men, women, children, priests, red cross personnel, elders and even hospital patients. What do you think can top that among Japan's war crimes then? Or what do you think of this Manila massacre which was all caused by the soldiers' frustation?

I have no idea what countries are what. I'm in the section about Prussian government in my textbook, and all of the sudden, they're talking about German nobles. Are Prussians also Germans?

Is the Habsburg-Austrian Empire part of the Holy Roman Empire? Is the Prussian empire part of it? Thanks.
