Answer:

Because it allowed the mass production of books and allowed a previously unknown level of information to be disseminated.

Explanation:

With letters and embossed symbols carved in metal. The type of mobile printing, invented by Johannes Gensfleish, known as Gutenberg, allowed the mass printing of books - which were once handwritten - beginning a revolution in Europe in the mid 1455s.

The technique was innovative, but it was not the pioneer. Since the 7th century, calendars and holy books have been printed by the Chinese - who used about 400,000 wooden carved ideograms.  But Gutenberg created tougher moving types that could be reused in other print jobs. Thus, books are no longer exclusive to nobles and clergy. By 1489, there were presses like his in Italy, France, Spain, Holland, England, and Denmark. By 1500, some 15 million books had been printed.

“If a nation is attacked the only recourse is to attack back” Agree or disagree and why?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Not really,

It is reliant on the intensity of the attack as well as the power of the attacking nation.
 some countries have been attacked and literally never fought back but surrendered if the attacking nation is more powerful in terms of military power.
in case the intensity of the attack can be absorbed, a country can also opt for diplomacy as war is the ultimate sanction in international relation.
in case the country feels it has the capacity to protect its sovereignty then fighting back is the only option.
