In 1917, Germany, determined to win its war of attrition against the Allies, announced the resumption of unrestricted warfare in war-zone waters. Three days later, the United States broke diplomatic relations with Germany, and just hours after that the American liner Housatonic was sunk by a German U-boat. On February 22, Congress passed a $250 million arms appropriations bill intended to make the United States ready for war. In late March, Germany sunk four more U.S. merchant ships, and on April 2 President Wilson appeared before Congress and called for a declaration of war against Germany. Four days later, his request was granted.

Tema [17]

Answer:

<h3>Today, mass psychogenic illness normally develops through the fear of a viral outbreak and other biological factors.</h3>

Explanation:

Unlike the past, today mass psychogenic illness does not develop through customs or ritualized behaviors. The "Dancing Manias" of the Middle Ages was believed to have caused due to religious beliefs like a curse sent by a godly entity or a punishment from the God.

However, modern mass psychogenic illness usually develops through the fear of a viral outbreak or other biological factors. Mass hysteria of being contracted with a certain disease or illness is mostly believed by the victims. They do not trace their illness to any supernatural elements but rather believes it as something man-made or a viral outbreak.

What impact did the Scientific Revolution have on the Catholic Church?

DENIUS [597]

The scientific revolution was the part of the Renaissance, and it is notable for a series of changes in society, education, and knowledge, which resulted in a string of new discoveries and new views on the world. Before the scientific revolution, the Church had the dominance over the learning, dictating who will be able to learn and what; yet, as a result of this period, knowledge and science were more available and widely distributed. Scientists had more democratic ideas about the world and society, which in the end resulted in the more humane views and laws. All of these circumstances weakened the Church and its impact on society.
The discoveries of the revolution questioned some of the preceding pieces of knowledge supported by the Church, most notably the idea that the Sun goes around the Earth. Nicolaus Copernicus was one of the first scientists who proposed heliocentric theory, and people started to realize the Earth revolves around the Sun. This idea challenged religious believes, and the Church was afraid people would lose faith and trust in God. All of this finally resulted in the loss of the Church’s complete dominance and change of some dogmas that were previously preached heavily.
While, of course, people still have faith and believe in God today, these events changed the complete sovereignty that the institution of the Church had previously, as well as some of Christianity's teachings.
