Urbanization
Before the Crusades, life in Europe was centered on estates
and feudalism, when the holy war began it shifted to prioritize trade and
commerce in order to fund the war. This led to inflation of prices but overall
increased the quality of life.
Guilds
Towns were formed as trade and commerce became a feasible
form of livelihood. As the holy war went on, it became apparent that there was
much to gain as people had more access to other societies. This in turn led to
the forming of Guilds that standardized and regulated the trade practice
The Middle Class
Lending and borrowing in order to
finance the trades and commerce stimulated the financial system which led to
the formation of the first credit institutions. A new ‘middle class’ emerged as
the result of this growth of the European economy.
Division of labor
Not so much as a ‘division’ but the formulation of new ones-
the nobility had to sell their lands and personal belongings which benefitted lower
and middle class. Peasants now experienced a higher demand for their products and
the new middle class became tradesmen, financers and transportation providers.
Money/weights/measure systems
With the rise of new classes, there
was a shift in the redistribution of wealth- the economic power of the Church
shifted to the tradesmen and merchants. The emerging importance of trade and commerce
resulted in the standardization of money, weights and the measuring system.
Usury
People began to sell their lands and belongings as a way to
finance the cost of joining the Crusade, and most of the time, this wasn’t
enough. They turned to Churches which were obligated to provide loans without
interest due to Usury policies. This significantly decreased their wealth of
which they had to share with other Crusaders.
The European and Asian immigrant experiences were much different during the early 20th century. One of the most significant examples were the procedures they had to go through in order to gain access to America.
For example, many Europeans came through Ellis Island (located in NY). This resulted in rounds of questioning, a six second medical exam, a citizenship like test, and mental evaluations. For Asian immigrants, they came through Ellis Island (located in San Francisco). These immigrants were subject to humiliating physical exams, that sometimes took several hours and forced them to be without clothes in front of other individuals.
European immigrants, for the most part, had a much easier time entering the US. Asian immigrants were limited based on the Chinese Exclusion Act, which suspended the immigration of Chinese immigrants into America for roughly a decade.
