Answer:

Jamestown was the 1st English settlement in America, it was close to a swamp so water was not that potable around the area which hastened and spread out diseases, thus much of the population died, in great part due to a lack of medical attention, medicine and nursing; there were no women in the ship who usually are more socially predisposed to help and care about the sick ones.

Of the 110 settlers who arrived in May 1607, over half of them had died by December. This was due to poor protection from the cold winter that had a massive impact on children and the elderly.

Many of the passengers died due to scurvy.

Overall, it was a gruelling journey and not easy even in summer times. Winter, itself brought with it a lot of diseases.

Whoever died on the ship, their dead body was thrown over in the Ocean, as was the custom. However, their clothes and belongings were still left on the ship to be used by others.

These provided evidence of tens of people who could not make the journey.

What was the final outcome of the Crusades for the Holy Land?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The entire structure of European society changed during the 12th and 13th centuries, and there was a time when this change was attributed largely to the Crusades. Historians now, however, tend to view the Crusades as only one, albeit significant, factor in Europe’s development. It is likely that the disappearance of old families and the appearance of new ones can be traced in part to the Crusades, but generalizations must be made with caution. It should, moreover, be remembered that, while some Crusaders sold or mortgaged their property, usually to ecclesiastical foundations, others bequeathed it to relatives. The loss of life was without doubt considerable; many Crusaders, however, did return to their homes.

The sectors acquired by burgeoning Italian cities in the Crusader states enabled them to extend their trade with the Muslim world and led to the establishment of trade depots beyond the Crusade frontiers, some of which lasted long after 1291. The transportation they provided was significant in the development of shipbuilding techniques. Italian banking facilities became indispensable to popes and kings. Catalans and Provençal's also profited, and, indirectly, so did all of Europe. Moreover, returning Crusaders brought new tastes and increased the demand for spices, Oriental textiles, and other exotic fare. But such demands can also be attributed to changing lifestyles and commercial growth in Europe itself.

The establishment of the Franciscan and Dominican friars in the East during the 13th century made possible the promotion of missions within the Crusade area and beyond. Papal bulls granted special facilities to missionary friars, and popes sent letters to Asian rulers soliciting permission for the friars to carry on their work. Often the friars accompanied or followed Italian merchants, and, since the Mongols were generally tolerant of religious propaganda, missions were established in Iran, the Asian interior, and even China. But, since Islamic law rigidly prohibited propaganda and punished apostasy with death, conversions from Islam were few. The Dominican William of Tripoli had some success, presumably within the Crusaders’ area; he and his colleague Riccardo di Monte Croce both wrote perceptive treatises on Islamic faith and law. Other missionaries usually failed, and many suffered martyrdom. In the 14th century the Franciscans were finally permitted to reside in Palestine as caretakers for the holy places but not as missionaries.
