Hello, it is Elizabeth here, and today we are learning about Social Sciences 5, Unit 6, Lesson 4.

2
00:00:10,130 --> 00:00:15,949
So today, our lesson is called, Who Were the Habsburgs?

3
00:00:17,129 --> 00:00:22,129
And today we're going to talk about some really important vocabulary in this lesson.

4
00:00:22,269 --> 00:00:27,949
So these are words that you definitely are going to need to know if you want to understand the information.

5
00:00:27,949 --> 00:00:34,289
The first vocabulary word that we are going to talk about today is empire.

6
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:37,740
So empire.

7
00:00:38,380 --> 00:00:44,600
An empire is a group of countries or states that are controlled by one leader or government.

8
00:00:45,299 --> 00:00:49,359
So that's multiple countries or states, one leader.

9
00:00:49,359 --> 00:00:59,299
So a really good example of this would be under the Habsburgs, Spain became an enormous international dynasty.

10
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:05,939
The empire included lands in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America.

11
00:01:06,819 --> 00:01:13,879
Alright, the second vocabulary word we are going to be talking about today is dynasty.

12
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:17,879
So dynasty can have two meanings.

13
00:01:18,340 --> 00:01:25,359
The first meaning can be a series of rulers of a country who all belong to the same family.

14
00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:29,540
So that means that all the rulers are in the same family.

15
00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:38,000
The other definition can be a period of years during which members of a particular family rule a country.

16
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:48,739
So one is specific to the series of rulers, and the other one is specific to the period of years ruled by those specific rulers.

17
00:01:49,099 --> 00:01:50,560
All in the same family.

18
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:59,780
Okay, our third vocabulary word is actually two words, and it is economic crisis.

19
00:02:00,379 --> 00:02:02,980
So what is an economic crisis?

20
00:02:03,959 --> 00:02:13,939
An economic crisis is a situation in which the economy of a country experiences a sudden downturn brought on by a financial crisis.

21
00:02:13,939 --> 00:02:25,939
So this means that a really good example of this would be that there was an economic crisis in Europe that started the decline of the Habsburg dynasty.

22
00:02:25,939 --> 00:02:31,939
Alright, that was three vocabulary words that you will need to know while reading this lesson.

23
00:02:31,939 --> 00:02:34,939
I will see you in my next video. Bye bye!
