Martin Luther (1483-1546)  was the forerunner of the Reformation. He was a German scholar and theologian who reacted against the corruption of the Catholic Church and its practice of selling indulgences (eternal salvation was sold to raise money). On October 31, 1517, he nailed his Ninety-five Theses attacking papal abuses and the sale of indulgences to a church door in Wittenberg. The pope was very irritated and excommunicated Luther (cut him off from the Church). However, many people agreed with his criticisms and joined his protest against the Catholic Church. They became known as PROTESTANTS. The Protestant movement spread from Germany to Scandinavia and Scotland.

Henry VIII was the king of England (1509-1547). Henry was a devout Catholic, thus he reacted against Luther’s Theses, and wrote a treatise A Defense of the Seven Sacraments (1521), defending the Catholic point of view. The pope rewarded him with a new title Defender of the Faith. However, he was eager to divorce Catherine of Aragon because he wanted to marry Anne Boleyn, in the hope of Anne giving him a male heir to the throne. He asked the Pope to annul his first marriage, but the Pope delayed an answer. Eventually, Henry VIII passed the Act of Supremacy (1535) declaring himself as the Supreme Head of the Church, breaking the ties with Rome. The authority of the Pope was no longer recognized in England. This marked the beginning of the Reformation in England.

John Calvin (1509-1564) was a prominent French theologian. Due to violence in France, he had to flee to Geneva, Switzerland. There he became the leader of the Swiss Protestant Reformation. One of the central tenets of Calvinist theology is predestination (belief that God determines beforehand who will be saved). Calvinist ideas deeply affected Protestantism in Europe, and even spread to other parts of the world including North America, South Africa, and Korea.

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Before WWI, women had little to no rights. As the war came around, women gained several rights. They were able to now find a job. Women went to work in factories, many of which produced ammunitions and armed forces materials. Some women even disguised themselves enough to look like men, and enlisted in the Army. Women became medics during the war effort as well. Overall, women kept America's economy flowing while the men were shipped overseas.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Hands off policy would be described as the policy that means not intervening in matters.

If a president has announced an off hands policy in some matter, that means he has declared that he will not intervene in that matter under any circumstance. He would have nothing to do with it and nobody shall try to have him indulged in that matter.

Identify one specific historical example of a similarity between the byzantine empire and the greek city-states
agasfer [191]

The Greek city-states had highly developed their artwork during the period prior to the creation of the Roman Empire. This artwork could be appreciated in all of the constructions throughout Ancient Greece.

The Romans subsequently adopted the Greek style of architecture. After the fall of Rome and the founding of the Byzantine empire in 330 CE, the Greek architectural style continued to maintain its predominance over other styles of art as it is evidenced in the temples and buildings located in the city of Constantinople, which served as the capital of the empire.
