Juraidini 1 Justin Juraidini Farmer AP European History January 30, 2013 ?Luther? Reaction Paper The movie "Luther" is based on Martin Luther's life and the impact he had on the Catholic Church. Throughout the movie Martin Luther takes it upon himself to find truth pertaining to salvation and preaches his ideas and thoughts to the people of Wittenberg. Martin Luther disagreed with aspects of Roman Catholic religious practices, especially the sale of indulgences, religious corruption, and the emphasis on salvation through good works. He took action by posting and distributing his 95 theses and left a lasting legacy by sparking a religious movement, creating a new sect of faith, and later motivating reform to the Roman Catholic Church.

Black death

I. The Black Death (1347) A. Causes: 1. Bubonic plague was carried by fleas on Asian black rats and brought to Europe on ships returning from Asia 2. Overcrowding in cities and homes facilitated the spread of the disease Many aristocratic families slept in one room and many prosperous peasant families slept in one bed for warmth; less prosperous peasants were even worse off 3. Poor sanitation in cities: garbage-filled streets, human excrement, and dead animals 4. Widespread malnutrition prior to the plague led to poor health (e.g. lower immune systems) that made people more susceptible to the disease 25% harvests in early 14th century were poor as torrential rains destroyed wheat, oats, and hay crops; some instances of cannibalism occurred
