Why would pilgrims have gone to visit Thomas Beckets shrine at Canturbury

History
1 answer:
slega [8]3 years ago
6 0
Thomas Becket was considered a martyr because he defended Church rights against the wishes of King Henry II of England and died for his beliefs (killed by the King's followers). He later became a saint, as he was viewed as someone who was murdered for the wrong reasons and died with his faith intact. People made pilgrimages to his shrine in order to pay tribute and receive special graces and spiritual measures. His shrine in Canterbury was later destroyed by King Henry VIII.

Why did the Montgomery bus boycott succeed?
kow [346]
It was a kind of social protest - people did not want to be discriminated because of their race or sex. This event was a precedence - nobody thought that something like this protest could occur at that time. Rosa Parks did something that made people think about tolerance and also made other people join her protest in different places.

What frustrations led workers like Henryka kryzwonos in Poland to demand an independent Union?
aivan3 [116]

The workers in Poland had a miserable life . They were having no civil liberties, no control over factories, no right to strike, low wages etc. Trade Unions did not protect their rights or work for their welfare as they were controlled by Communist Party. So these trade unions used to enforce the rule of the Govt. which led workers like Henryka Kryzwonos to strike and demand an Independent Union.

The workers began to protest in 1980. The tactics used by them include sit-in strike at shipyards, shutdown of railway traffic and most importantly "Solidarity" which brought a revolution in the history of Poland.
