Also it should not go without notice that since books became available for some village folks, they could be used to teach peasants and commoners to read and to write at a massive scale. Politically the printing press was extremely important in order to spread Luther’s works, such as the 95 Theses (which were printed in German), the Bible and the catechisms, for public access quickly, let people to read text carefully, make large
They came to Wisconsin from Europe for many reasons. Some came because they wanted religious freedom or to avoid the military draft, while others moved because of the economic opportunities from the Industrial Revolution. The population of German immigrants into Milwaukee exploded. By 1850, sixty percent of Milwaukee’s population was born in Europe, and two-thirds came from Germany and German speaking countries. Germans came in three waves of immigration from different areas of the German lands.
Supporters would argue that referendums should be used in the UK. This is for many reasons, such as allowing the public to have control over decision making. In doing so, making that decision is far more representative because it would be the popular choice, therefore making it far more legitimate. Also, because they’re secret ballots it means the voters can be non-partisan furthermore granting the final outcome to be a more justifiable choice due to f the vast amount of voters. In addition, referendums are a form of direct democracy, consequently giving the public control over decision making.
How important were the German princes in creating the atmosphere within which Lutheranism was successful? The German princes were essential for creating the atmosphere in which Lutheranism was successful between 1521 and 1555 because they maintained Luther’s teachings, making it a reality. Also they obtained military authority over Charles V who at this time, was a new, inexperienced emperor and also had major influence over Charles power due to the fact they were the ones who elected him. This proved useful at the Diet of Worms in 1521 when instead of Luther being issued full excommunication, instead he was offered a full hearing and this was all down to princely support. By 1531 the Schmalkaldic League was set up as a united defence alliance by protestant princes in response to Charles’s threat of eradicating Lutheranism.
It also had a stable government, which allowed for the people to begin industrializing in the first place, harbors for trade, a very large population resulting in a very large workforce, and many water ways throughout the country to transport materials and products as well as to use for water power at mills. There are several reasons why the Industrial revolution started in the first place. One reason being that there was widespread resistance to disease in Europe as well as a reliable food supply, allowing for steady population growth, which in return created more demand for products, which in turn resulted in new ways of producing products more efficiently in response to demand. As a result of Industrialization, a new economic philosophy arose. Capitalism called for the lack of government intervention in the economy.
The USA started exporting and importing goods with other countries. So, to keep up with demand, we had to produce more, which led to factories and labor unions. Also, the Railway Act that President Lincoln signed helped spur the Industrial Revolution
Pope John XXIII was born in 1881 and was raised in a small town of northern Italy. His time as Pope revolutionised the Catholic Church and many of his new policies brought Christians around the world together. His ideology intrigued people, but his underlying message was unity and connecting Christians. Pope John XXIII played a significant role in the development of the universal church and was instrumental in bringing change and reform to Christianity. At the time of his induction as Pope, few Christians would have foreseen the dramatic impact that the Italian Cardinal Angelo Roncalli would have upon the contemporary Catholic, and Christian landscape of the world.
This is very difficult in the fact that each of these men have had great contributions to world history. Jesus Christ, in my opinion, is the most influential figure throughout history. This is greatly due to the fact that religion, particularly Christianity, has play such a great role in history. Throughout history, especial European history, we see a strong relationship between Christian religions and many rulers. Because of this relationship we see many actions of the rulers and those they governed done in the name of Christ, these includes but are not limited to the Reconquista, the Crusades, and the Inquisitions.
The church was not heavily influenced in the Renaissance. A significant change in the arts and architecture was that in both categories, advancement happened much quicker and things became more efficient and easy to obtain; especially whenever the printing press was invented. Many Universities were founded during and after the Renaissance (document 8). Religion greatly affected the differences between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. In the Middle Ages, the church had the most power and a huge influence (control) on society.
At this point in time, roads got improved and underwent repair on a larger extent; the production of railways skyrocketed in the German States. The expansion of railways increased industrialization and provided many raw materials, which could only be accessed to industries from far sources. Just like Zollverein, this made connections with one another (the German States) easier and promoted freedom, independence and prosperity. Germans began to see unity in factors other than language.
