The Boston Tea Party was a political protest that occurred on December 16, 1773, at Griffin’s Wharf in Boston, Massachusetts. American colonists, frustrated and angry at Britain for imposing “taxation without representation,” dumped 342 chests of tea, imported by the British East India Company into the harbor. The event was the first major act of defiance to British rule over the colonists. It showed Great Britain that Americans wouldn’t take taxation and tyranny sitting down, and rallied American patriots across the 13 colonies to fight for independence.

Law Incorporation [45]

Spain-South/Latin America France- Canada Britain- Virginia and New England All 3 had territory in the Caribbean.Spain settled in S.A. to find gold to bring back to Spain. France was mostly interested in fur trapping and trade with the natives. Virginia was settled because the English thought they could find gold there as the Spanish had in South America. when they realized there was no gold to be found they turned to tobacco farming, which was also very lucrative. New England was settled by people who wanted to escape from the religious oppression they had experienced in England, primarily the Pilgrims and the Puritans.

How did nationalism affect the foreign affairs of the United States

Jobisdone [24]

Nationalism-the loyalty and devotion to one's nation.
For one, people in America were like "lets go to war with Britain" which spurred the War of 1812. So if that's any correlation to how it affected foreign affairs, there ya go.
Our foreign affairs were affected because we were proud to be Americans. We got more active in conflicts and defended our country and its people mainly due to agrarianism (You'll probably learn about that in US History in HS), which was the belief Thomas Jefferson had that if people owned land, they would fight for this country.
To really answer your question, we were on and off friends with our foreign comrades. We went to war as a result, and established our power in the world.

How did Gutenburg's printing press change education, society, and/or religion in Renaissance Europe? What are specific connectio

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The effect the Gutenberg’s printer had on society was the sudden widespread of information.

Explanation:

1. Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press had an impact also on religion.

The Bible was no longer copied by hand, but was printed with the press at much higher speed. The Bible and other religious pamphlets in Latin were printed and distributed all over Europe.

Also, the religious ideas of Martin Luther were spread across Europe with the help of printing presses.

Gutenberg’s discovery had a big impact on the Renaissance, because it made possible to copy ancient philosophy books and scripts at higher speed.

Literacy was also improved in Europe, with the easier access to books.

2. It is considered one of the most important inventions of mankind. From then on it was possible to print and spread information very quickly.

This fact alone represents one of the biggest revolutions in human society. It represents one of the first steps of technological and scientific progress.

Without it, it would have been impossible to achieve all the developments of civilization, and the world as we know it today, wouldn’t be imaginable.
