At a time when trade and transport were made primarily by water, and bearing in mind that European powers needed to have free access to the rich colonies, and only by sea could they communicate with America and the colonies, the ocean and the seas were the higways of the past. Therefore, access and control of the sea routes, was the only way to have control over the colonies, their riches; and become the dominant power in the world. In addition, the wars between France and Great Britain were not only for trade or wealth, but for power itself, to decide who would dominate the seas.

How did the renaissance and the reformation influence the rise of democracy in Europe
suter [353]

The Renaissance was the cultural, political, scientific and intellectual explosion in Europe between the 14th and 17th centuries – represents perhaps the most profoundly important period in human development since the fall of Ancient Rome.  

From its origins in 14th-century Florence, the Renaissance spread across Europe – the fluidity of its ideas changing and evolving to match local cultural thinking and conditions, although always remaining true to its ideals.  

If the Renaissance was about rediscovering the intellectual ambition of the Classical civilizations, it was also about pushing the boundaries of what we know – and what we could achieve.  

On the other hand the reformation was a parallel  movement that developed in northern Europe during the Renaissance, combining classical learning, and individualism with the goal or reforming the Catholic Church.

The Christian Democratic parties in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands originated from decisions of nineteenth century political actors, namely, the Church and conservative political elites. Though these actors may not have initially intended to create confessional parties, they "set the process in motion" by creating a new political consciousness or identity amongst lay Catholics. Fueling the long-term political separation of Catholics from non-Catholics and of conservative Catholics from more liberal-leaning ones, this unique political identity has become mobilized and institutionalized in Christian Democratic parties. This is the source of the parties' longevity, even in the secular context of modern European politics

Does the growth of the country make things better or worse?
siniylev [52]

I think we need more information to thoroughly answer this question, but here is a small starter I did to hopefully help you out a bit :D

Overall, it makes things better because a MDC (More developed county) usually has more food, technology, etc and a LDC (Less developed country) is usually in more poverty + etc.
