Answer:

Galileo relied completely on what today is understood as the scientific method direct observation and experimentation rather than the Bible or received tradition in his study of astronomy.

Explanation:

Galileo was the towering scientist of his age, much as Einstein was in the twentieth century. If, as we should, we associate the Renaissance with the beginning of the movement from the centrality of faith to the centrality of reason, he is the exemplar of reason for his period.

He developed the telescope, he was able to study the movement of the planets, discovering the four largest moons of Jupiter and determining that Aristotelean cosmology (a received tradition) was in error, causing a huge stir in the scientific community.

Galileo also studied velocity, dropping balls of different weights (again using the scientific method of direct observation) from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa to time how quickly they fell. He demolished Aristotle's contention that objects of different weights.

valina [46]
I think the question here asks for Canada and US: those two countries are know to be popular immigrant choices.

Also, while Greenland is part of Northern America, it has been closer associated with Europe, and it's rarely actually called a "northern American country"

In a document or slide show presentation, list at least 5 major events that resulted in the United States getting involved in Wo
Paul [167]

World War II took place from 1939 to 1945 and the following events led up to the United States becoming involved in WWII.


In 1939, the US cancelled its trade agreement with Japan.

The US embargoed (or outlawed the buying or selling) of Japanese iron, steel, and mechanical parts.

Japan sent troops to Indochina to pressure British and Dutch Far East possessions and US, British, and other Western nations reacted by freezing Japanese assets and blocking the buying of Japanese oil.

Japan and the US were in talks to ensure peace, but ideas put forth by the Japanese were considered to be inadequate by the US. Japan was asked by the US to evacuate China but the Japanese refused to, suggesting they would instead be preparing for a war.

The Japanese bombed/attacked British and American holdings on December 7, 1941 (including Pearl Harbor).
