How was the church politically powerful during the middle ages

History
1 answer:
lyudmila [28]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The church was probably one of the most rich and powerful things during the middle ages. The church was a driving force for religious people, and most religious people would give the church a ton of money during their lifetime. People paid 1/10's of their earnings to the church, which were called tithes, basically donations to the church which supported them. They also paid for events, like baptism, marriage and communion. The church was considered independent, so they were not taxed, and the wealthy often gave the church land. The church ended up owning 1/3 of the land in Western Europe, and Western Europe was heavily dominated by Christianity. The church had a strong political power during these times because people would follow what the church wanted, due to them having all this power. Wealthy politicians would also pay indulgences to "buy their way into heaven", and the threat of not going to heaven was enough to make politicians do their bidding during this time.

Why was India involved in the cold war?
viktelen [127]

Answer: Opposing parties sought to expand their influence globally.

Explanation:

India, like many other countries of the world, sought to be drawn into the Cold War. The two biggest competitors, the Soviet Union and the United States, sought to win over Cold War partners outside Europe. Given its geostrategic position and wealth, India should have been drawn into two opposing blocs. Yet, the Indian government has decided not to opt for either side. On the contrary, she was the main initiator of the ideas of the Non-Aligned Movement. The movement found several countries opting for neutrality during the uncertain times of the Cold War.
