It would definitely be a long, expensive process. Before the Gutenberg press, anything that was to be printed would have to be hand-copied, whether it was a 2-page pamphlet or a 200-page book!

Printing before the invention of the Gutenberg printing press was a long, expensive process.

Before the printing press was invented, writings were produced by hand. Generally, the ones in charge of producing these texts were the scribes, the professional copyists who lived in monasteries. Moreover, it used to take the scribes several months to complete their jobs.  

Different expensive materials, such as papyrus, clay, wax, and parchment, were used to transcribe law books, tragedies, and works related to philosophy. For that reason, books were sold at a very high price; therefore, few people had access to them. Gutenberg's invention allowed more people to access knowledge since the printing press became a less costly and faster method to reproduce texts.

How did advances in military technology after the Industrial Revolution affect
kozerog [31]

Answer:

C. They allowed small European armies to defeat larger African and Asian forces when invading territory.

Explanation:

The rise of industrial economies throughout European empires allowed the appearance of new technologies that increased mobility, logistics and destruction power of European armies, which contributed the transformation of such organisations into more compact and professional structures, capable of destroying larger forces, though less modern, in Asia and Africa, making possible the occupation of vast territories for colonisation purposes.

Some millitary inventions are described below:

1) Gatling machine gun (1.861).

2) Steamboats (1.820s).

3) Chemical weapons (1.880s).

4) Repeating rifles (1.870s).

5) Trench warfare (1.860s).

Hence, correct answer is C.
