Witch hunts originated due to social and economic pressures in Europe. Because of this, we see that changes in economic and social conditions led to a decline of such events.

When the Scientific Revolution started, this was accompanied by other social events such as a rise in the urban population and an improvement of weather conditions. The improvement of the weather led to higher crop yield, and in turn, to better conditions in rural communities. Moreover, a rise in the urban population of Europe led to better job opportunities for people.

On the other hand, these changes were not only economic. The rise of the urban population led to better communication among different communities. These allowed the ideas of the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment to spread, providing logical answers to questions that previously led to witchcraft accusations. Moreover, as the economy of the rural areas improved, people had less need to find a scapegoat for their woes, which reduced the social need for witches.

Why will central america and the caribbean have no contact with the afro eurasian world and how will this affect development in
Alexus [3.1K]

Central America (also referred to as Mesoamerica) and the Caribbeans did not had any contact with Eurasians and Africans because they were not connected by land with those continents, but instead separated by vast ocean waters, and the people from both sides were not even aware of the existence of the others.

Because of the isolation, the people from Central America and the Caribbeans managed to develop their own unique cultures, traditions, religions, way of living, architecture, organization, that were unlike any others in the rest of the world.
