what three major catastrophes struck europe prior to the protestant reformation? the great famine the seven years' war the great

Musya8 [376]

As the Protestant Reformation started in the 1500s, prior to that event there were three major catastrophes:

1315-1317 --- The Great Famine: It is the historiographical designation of a generalized famine in Northern Europe. It was due to the loss of crops due to the bad weather that began in the spring of 1315, was critical in the winter 1315-1316 and lasted until the summer of 1317, although the situation was bad since 1314 and the restoration of a relative agricultural normality did not arrive until 1320 or 1322 in England.The winter 1317-1318 was devastating for the flocks, costing numerous heads of cattle, bursting in 1318 a rinderpest that did not stop until 1320. In 1319 there was a good harvest, but during 1320-1322 climatic conditions were again adverse, however, the 1320s were even better than the previous decade.The small localized famines were frequent in the Middle Ages but this exceeded all others in extension, duration and mortality. The scarcity led to the high cost and, in addition to demographic consequences (morbidity and catastrophic mortality - millions of deaths), triggered all kinds of social conflicts and increased crime. There were outbreaks of cannibalism and infanticide. The consequences in mentalities and political and religious institutions, in the longer term, were mixed with those of the plague of 1348.

1337-1453 --- The Hundred Years' War: The Hundred Years War was an armed conflict between the kingdoms of France and England, which lasted almost 117 years (January 1, 1337-17 October 1453), of feudal origin, since its purpose was to resolve who would control the enormous possessions accumulated by English monarchs since 1154 in French territories, due to the accession to the English throne of Henry II Plantagenet, Count of Anjou. It ended with the English withdrawal of French lands.

1346-1361 --- The Black Plague: The Black Plague was a pandemic that ravaged Europe during the fourteenth century and was transmitted by a flea transported by rats. It is believed that the epidemic emerged in Central Asia, from where it passed to Italian cities such as Genoa, with great maritime activity, and from there to all of Europe. The Black Death ended up with almost half of the European population and with some 100 million people around the world.

It reached its peak between 1346 and 1361. Diane Zahler estimates that mortality exceeded half, perhaps 60% of Europeans, or what is the same, 50 of the 80 million European inhabitants would have died. It was the cause of death of approximately 50 to 75 million people between the first cases in Mongolia (1328) and the last cases in European Russia (1353), which devastatingly affected Europe, China, India, the Middle East and the North. of Africa, it did not affect sub-Saharan Africa or the American continent.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain un

weqwewe [10]

Two principles from John Locke's social contract theory seen in the excerpt:

<h2>the principle of natural rights</h2><h2>the principle of popular sovereignty</h2>

Natural rights

John Locke was one of the first of the Enlightenment era philosophers. The Enlightenment's emphasis on reason was in contrast to superstition and traditional beliefs. The Scientific Revolution had shown that there are natural laws in place in the physical world and in the universe at large. Applying similar principles to matters like government and society, Enlightenment thinkers believed that using reason will guide us to the best ways to operate politically so we can create the most beneficial conditions for society. For John Locke, this included a conviction that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved. Locke's ideal was one that promoted individual freedom and equal rights and opportunity for all. Each individual's well-being (life, health, liberty, possessions) should be served by the way government and society are arranged.

The Declaration of Independence states Locke's natural rights idea in this way: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

John Locke, in his Second Treatise on Civil Government (1690), had expressed those same ideas in these words:

The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions… (and) when his own preservation comes not in competition, ought he, as much as he can, to preserve the rest of mankind, and may not, unless it be to do justice on an offender, take away, or impair the life, or what tends to the preservation of the life, the liberty, health, limb, or goods of another.

Popular sovereignty

"Popular sovereignty" means the people are in charge of establishing a government over themselves. The founding fathers of the United States adopted the idea of popular sovereignty from Enlightenment philosophers like John Locke.

The Declaration of Independence asserted the concept of popular sovereignty. In the portion quoted in the question, the idea is emphasized in the words, "To secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. ... Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

In writing the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson went on to list "facts to be submitted to a candid world," demonstrating that the British king had been seeking to establish "an absolute Tyranny over these States" (the colonial states which were declaring their independence). Employing the social contract theory of John Locke that gave the people sovereignty, revolution was justified if it could be shown that the British government was acting in tyrannical ways toward the people of the colonies.

What racist belief was the focus of nazi foreign policy?

ohaa [14]

Answer:

Read below :)

Explanation:Nazis believed that Germans were biologically superior (Arian race) destined to obtain (Lebensraum).

This encouraged a violent and expansive foreign policy, in pursuit of the land in the East of Europe, where Slavic people habited. The policy was further directed at the Soviet Union at large since it was the natural rival of Germany.

Lebensraum was a concept to justify fierce and quick expansion by all means so that German population would eventually inhabit a "continent" where Aryans would live and develop as they were "genetically entitled" to live in pursuit of an inevitable process of evolution of races.
