Judging from Charles V's life experience, he was a good monarch. Many things are beneficial to historical development and social progress. In my opinion, the most meaningful thing is to finance Magellan's trip around the world. 1565438+On March 22nd, 2008, Charles V signed an agreement with ferdinand magellan, a navigator who failed to apply for financing in Portugal, agreeing to fund Magellan's global travel. 15 19 On September 20th, Magellan took the ship, crew and materials sponsored by Charles V and started the first recorded round-the-world trip in human history. This trip is of great significance, which proves that the earth is a round sphere and is also the beginning of the era of great navigation.
During the reign of Charles V, he opposed the Reformation. As a Catholic fanatic, Charles V intends to build his country into a world Catholic empire. At that time, the world was already in the great wave of religious reform, and Charles V's behavior brought him many bad consequences. In the end, he had to compromise and signed the augsburg Religious Peace Treaty in 1555.
At the same time, Charles V, like other ambitious monarchs, launched many wars, especially against French and Turkish. The war with France was for Italian territory. From 152 1 to 1524, I fought with France, but I didn't get much benefit. The war with Ottoman Turkey was not worth the loss. In the great war, the two countries had to take a step back and sign an equality treaty. It can be said that it is precisely because of these ethnic wars and religious wars that Charles V gave up the throne and abdicated ahead of schedule.
In his life, Charles V did more than he did. Whether supporting Magellan's voyage around the world or holding a meeting in Charles V under the background of social environment at that time to discuss whether the cruel use of force against American Indians was immoral or not, it reflected his profound thinking on humanitarianism and showed us the human nature as an emperor. Although he was defeated in many wars, his fanatical religious belief also led to the decline of national strength and the decline of people's living standards, but after the failure of the religious war, he retired completely, stayed away from political life and abdicated to make way, which was a good way to stop losses in time and embodied the tolerance of the holy Roman emperor.
Charles V spent his last days in a monastery and suffered from gout until his death. It's not a bleak evening scene, but it's really embarrassing.
