History

babunello [35]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Spain possessed the most of them at the very beginning of the colonization (till the 1st half of the 19th century), Britain possessed the most of them at the end of colonization. Denmark possessed the least and for a very limited period of time. Portugal was the first country to possess colonies and the last country that decolonized its territories (1970s) but the in comparison to Spain or Britain, its colonies were less extensive.

Explanation: it depends very much what period we are focused on. So the question is not so easy to answer. In the 16th, 17th and 18th century it was Spain that possessed the most colonies. With the decolonization of South America and Central America and with the territorial expansion of the USA during the 19th century situation changes. For the growth of the British cololonial system, 18th century (Seven Years´ War) was crucial...at that time Britain eliminated its rival, France, from its significant position. Then, the Britain maintained the first position. On the other extreme there are less significant colonial powers: the Dutch and especially Danes.

Can someone explain humanism?
KatRina [158]
It's pretty much just a movement of valuing human life. During the Renaissance, people would put so much emphasis on religion and unworldly things instead of human potential and what was physically in front of us. Humanism led people to <span>realize that humans could achieve great things in the world and that we shouldn't completely revolve our lives around religion and religious figures like the Pope.</span>

What did the Jesuits do to try and impress the Native Americans with their religion? (Site 3)
sergejj [24]

Answer:

by creating European social institutions and patterns, conversion would become easier: linking European lifestyle as the foundation for proper conceptions of Christian spirituality.

Compared to other native populations in the region such as the hunter-gatherer Innu or Mi’kmaq peoples, the Huron already fit in relatively well with the Jesuits’ ideas of stable societies. For instance, the Huron had semi-permanent settlements and actively practiced agriculture—with maize as their major staple crop. Nonetheless, the Jesuits often found it hard to bridge the cultural divide and their religious and social conversion efforts often met with stiff resistance from the Huron.

that was the explaTison
