Transcripts
al andalus bone qué carajos es eso ya lo
sé hasta el nombre indica muchísimo
contenido apuntes y comentarios de texto
pero no se preocupen porque yo voy a
explicarlo ahora mismo preparados hombre
claro que sí para explicar el tema de al
andalus primero tengo que hablarles
sobre cómo cayó el estado que vino antes
el reino visigodo este reino apareció
después de la caída del famoso imperio
romano en el año 476 tenía una economía
organizada abandonando los conceptos de
comercio y ciudades tenían al
cristianismo como religión única y
fueron gobernados por una monarquía
electiva no hereditaria como la mayoría
que conocemos qué significa que la
corona no fue pasada de padre a hijo
sino que era elegida por el mini
gobierno digamos este último punto era
una causa muy importante de la invasión
musulmana de la península ibérica en el
año 711 porque provocó una enorme crisis
sucesoria y disputas entre el bando de
rodrigo y witiza dos líderes visigodos
witiza llamó a los musulmanes para
ayudarle vencer a rodrigo pero ya
sabemos que éste no salió exactamente
como él quería
además el islám y así iba expandiendo
por el norte de áfrica así que eso
facilitó la invasión un ejército formado
por bereberes del norte de áfrica cruzó
el estrecho de gibraltar y mató a un par
de viejos por ahí venció a rodrigo en la
batalla de guadalete y en vez de ayudar
a güiza decidieron conquistar la
península y crear un reino musulmán
llamado al andalus que originalmente
dependía de damasco los fieles a la
monarquía cristiana huyeron al norte
donde establecieron los reinos
cristianos
alan danos no era un emirato o estado
independiente hasta 756 con la llegada
de abdel rahmán primero y sus colegas el
reinado de abdel rahmán primero en
al-andalus fue uno de estabilidad y
esplendor literalmente para explicar un
par de características de la estructura
del nuevo estado la máxima autoridad era
el califa que tenía poder absoluto
básicamente lo típico de un rey
absolutista el aura valley es nombrado a
cargo el juez supremo habla verdad ya
todas las monarquías de la historia de
la humanidad que tenía la palabra
absoluta tenían en común
al andaluz se dividió en 21 provincias o
corach dirigido por gobernadores
regionales y se crearon muchísimas
ciudades importantísimas como córdoba
que se convirtieron en las más poderosas
del occidente medieval es muy importante
mencionar que al andalus no como los
visigodos
aportaron muchísimo económico y
culturalmente introdujeron el regadío y
varios tipos de frutas y verduras y se
desarrollaron el comercio la artesanía a
nivel social había una gran variedad de
grupos sociales muy jerarquizado el
grupo más importante era la minoría
árabe que se quedó con las mejores
tierras y cargos públicos
los bereberes también tenían privilegios
pero eran más en plan soldados o
militares le gustaban los grupos
inferiores los judíos que conservaron su
religión a cambio del pago de un poco de
dinero los muladíes que básicamente eran
cristianos que se convirtieron al islam
porque eran tacaños y no querían pagar
mucha pasta y los mozárabes o cristianos
que siguieron practicando su religión
pagando mucho dinero a los musulmanes
también se desarrolló la ciencia la
filosofía la música y la literatura
el árabe fue el idioma principal y claro
fue el arte donde dejó su huella más
grande en estructuras increíbles como la
mezquita de córdoba o columnas
coloreadas y su gran decoración interior
y la alhambra de granada a pesar de todo
este éxito al andaluz entró en crisis a
comienzos del siglo 11 debido a que las
clases altas empezaron a conseguir más
poder que el califa si nota que los
borbones de francia no aprendieron de
este error y los bereberes empezaron a
rebelarse con la ayuda del reino
cristiano de castilla porque estaban en
contra del monopolio de poder que tenía
la aristocracia árabe de esta forma los
conflictos internos de al-andalus y su
desintegración eventual facilitaron la
reconquista cristiana de los territorios
al andalus desapareció en el año 1000 31
y lo único que quedaba del régimen
islámico huyó hacia el sur en granada'
que permaneció hasta 1492 tras la unión
dinástica de fernando de aragón e isabel
de castilla
a partir de entonces la península era
totalmente católica
