3 0

<span>The Wilmot Proviso was a more-or-less religious declaration that slavery wouldnot be permitted in any of the new territories that were likely to be admittedto the USA.
This would increase Northern dominance of Congress, and enable moreraising of taxes on imports - the big controversy in the South, which had nomanufacturing industry, and depended largely on imported goods.

How did humans and the world come to existence according to persian mythology?

frosja888 [35]

Essentially the same as Christian creation except we were made because Ahura Mazda was bored and started creating things. It also lists fire in the creation story as important. Ahiram or Angra Mainyu or whatever then peers into Ahura Mazda's world (The world that Ahiram created is Hell) and gets told to aid the humans and is given immortality. He immediately gets mad at the idea of serving mortals and starts to essentially pick on them.

1. The war of ideas between the Catholic Church and Protestant reformers led to a ___________________.

V125BC [204]

Answer: Wars waged with weapons

<u>Details/explanation:</u>

The German lands were referred to as "The Holy Roman Empire" in those days. Immediately following the death of Martin Luther, the prominent German leader of the Protestants, war broke out between the forces of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, and Lutheran princes. Charles V went to war against the Lutheran princes in the Smalcald Wars (1546-57) to try to force them back into adherence to Catholicism.

There were ongoing struggles in the years after that, which affected other territories in which Protestant reformers were active. There were wars in Swiss territories as well as in France. Ultimately, the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) was waged in the German territories (aka the Holy Roman Empire) by many of the nations of Europe over religion as well as other issues.
