How did the printing press impact the Reformation and allow Luther to survive?

History

Nimfa-mama [501]3 years ago
7 0
Johann Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press around 1448 had a significant impact on the spread of ideas in Europe and beyond. Printing technology traveled quickly across Europe and, at a time of great religious change, played a key role in the success of the Protestant Reformation. Reformation leader Martin Luther could only preach to a small number of people, but the printed word could spread his message to thousands more

The printing press drastically cut the cost of producing books and other printed materials. Prior to Gutenberg’s invention, the only way of making multiple copies of a book was to copy the text by hand, an laborious and intensely time-consuming occupation usually performed by monks. The materials involved were also costly: Monks wrote on treated skins, known as vellum, and a single copy of the Bible could require 300 sheepskins or 170 calfskins. Printing onto paper made copying cheaper and faster.

Compared to the American Federation of Labor, the Knights of Labor faced difficulty because why?
navik [9.2K]

The Knights of Labor declined due to their use of secrecy in their negotiations with management.  Many used deception to maintain the employment of laborers.  Later on their secret methods alarmed many bishops who later condemned the Knights and led to their decline. Apart from that, many members were Catholic.

What might be a result of tojo aggressive leadership?
evablogger [386]
<span>As Minister of War, Tojo made it clear that Japan should push south in the Far East and take land owned by European nations. On October 14th, 1941, Tojo was appointed Prime Minister of Japan. By this date, he was convinced that a war with America could not be avoided and he put Japan on a full war alert. He decided that a massive knock-out blow would be sufficient to remove America from the Pacific. As a result, Tojo authorised the attack on Pearl Harbour in December 1941. Ultimately, he pushed Japan into a war they could not win.</span>
