History
2 answers:
Black_prince [1.1K]3 years ago

Answer:  An auto-da-fé or auto-de-fé (from Portuguese auto da fé [ˈaw.tu dɐ ˈfɛ], meaning "act of faith") was the ritual of public penance of condemned heretics and apostates that took place when the Spanish Inquisition, Portuguese Inquisition or the Mexican Inquisition had decided their punishment, followed by the carrying out by the civil authorities of the sentences imposed.

The most extreme punishment imposed on those convicted was execution by burning. In popular usage, the term auto-da-fé, the act of public penance, came to mean burning the convicted person at the stake, although that was a punishment for only the most serious offenses.

joja [24]

Answer: See explanation

World War II resulted in several women taking jobs that were even considered before to be jobs that men only can do. Women took jobs in different factories and in defense plants. Women also became shipbuilders, welders, built airplanes as well as producing ammunition.

These jobs gave women many opportunities and resulted in more women having jobs. Even when the war ended, they continued working in several factories.
