History

Answer:

Explanation:

The time is August 480 b.c.; the place, Thermopylae, Greece; the occasion, the aftermath of a great battle. A vast army of Persians was on the march to conquer Greece. A small force of Greeks had been all that stood in their way. And yet, in a pass that narrows to a space smaller than a baseball diamond, the impossible almost happened. For three days, just over seventy-one hundred Greeks, spearheaded by an elite unit of three hundred Spartans, gave a savage beating to a Persian army that outnumbered them by perhaps 20-to-1. About 150,000 men willing to die for the glory of Xerxes, the Persian Great King, came up against the most efficient killing machine in history.

Which phrase describes a major effect of the Protestant reformation
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. A major effect of the Protestant reformation was the spread of religious conflict in Europe.

Explanation:

The Protestant Reformation is the name for religious movements against the papacy and the Catholic Church in the 16th century, initiated by Martin Luther and John Calvin. From these movements, new religious communities emerged, independent of the papacy.  

The cause of the Reformation was the changed socio-economic relations, the chaotic situation in the Catholic Church, the corruption of the clergy and the sale of indulgences for sins. The Reformation movement and the resistance of the Catholic Church led to long and difficult religious wars,  such as the Thirty Years' War, which raged in Europe for decades and destroyed many material and cultural treasures.

Why was Franklin d roosevelt considered one of the best leaders
lina2011 [118]
F.D.R. has been renowned as having been one of our best Presidents, in part, due to his creation of many federal programs designed to help Americans survive the harshness of the great economic depression of the 1930s.
His slew of economic relief programs, later termed "alphabet soup," had many acronyms, hence the nickname. One if the most important of these, still in use today, is the S.S.A. or the social security administration. Social security is still in use today, and our individual SSNs have become a primary form of identification.
