Biological warfare, also known as germ warfare, is the use of biological toxins or infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, insects, and fungi with the intent to kill, harm or incapacitate humans, animals or plants as an act of war.
I think it is because they wanted to find a bird worthy of power
D is the one, but it is a trick question. Catholic Spain DID try to get the Netherlands to convert to Catholicism and remain under Spanish rule, but it never worked! The Netherlands resisted, and asked for (and got) English help in resisting the Spanish overlords. It led to the Thirty Years War, in which the Netherlands fought back against the Spanish.
Spain tried everything from the Inquisition to bloody reprisals, and the persecution of the Dutch Protestants. The English "loaned" Willliam of Orange to the Netherlands, who defeated the Spanish army.
Dear Grandmother,
We miss you and send you our love. Life here is very hard. This winter the snow was 6 feet deep and didn't finally melt until May. It was terribly cold. Even with a roaring fire we all slept under six blankets and still felt the cold. We ran out of feed and had to slaughter our horse. I don't know how we'll get rid of the stumps on the newly cleared land.
Bartholomew, Rachel and little William all died from measles in December. A week ago Eleanor broke her leg and can't walk at all. There are no doctors here; I fear her leg will make her deformed. The parson says God is punishing us for our sins. But Alice and I go to church three times a week and pray constantly. I don't know what sins God is punishing us for.
Love: (your name)
