Hi Kidrelm2
The most significant contribution of the Shang Dynasty was writing.
The correct answer is A.) electric sewing machine
Electric sewing machines replaced hand sewing and made it so that cloth could be produced at a faster rate than ever before.
The Catholic church had more influence because of the location of the Vatican it is in the south so the priest would travel mostly around the south to spread the word of God.
I'm not sure if the emphasis is to be put on the fact that the <em>Pope</em> declared or that the event occurred. I'll answer both.
It was significant that the Pope declared it because he was pretty much the only person who had the ability to declare such a thing. Even though the kingdoms of Europe had different rulers, most kingdoms were based on the Catholic religion. Therefore, the Pope had influence. If he declared something, it was as good as God declaring it.
It was significant that a Holy Roman Emperor was declared because it was the first step -- of many -- to achieving German unification. Before Charlemagne, Germany was nothing more than the Germanic tribes. The Holy Roman Empire, which lasted until 1806, kept these kingdoms united.
