In the 1340's, the black death spread to europe as a result of what human interaction

History

Answer:  The Black Death (bubonic plague) spread to Europe as a result of <u>TRADE</u> -- specifically, merchant ship contacts between Europe and regions to the east where the disease had originated.

Context/details:

The History Channel gives this report of the coming of the Black Death to Europe from the Central Asia region:  

  • <em>The plague arrived in Europe in October 1347, when 12 ships from the Black Sea docked at the Sicilian port of Messina. People gathered on the docks were met with a horrifying surprise: Most sailors aboard the ships were dead, and those still alive were gravely ill and covered in black boils that oozed blood and pus. Sicilian authorities hastily ordered the fleet of “death ships” out of the harbor, but it was too late.</em>

The disease spread to Europe and killed more than a third of the continent's population.   Fleas on rats that were on board the ships are usually blamed for the spread of the plague -- though new research suggests the transmission of disease-infected lice from person to person was more likely the main cause of the pandemic.

A recent paper published in the <em>Proceedings of the National Academy of Science </em>has cast much doubt on the idea that rats were the primary cause of the Black Death's spread. A team of researchers from the universities of Oslo and Ferrara have concluded that the spread of the disease<u> mostly occurred due to lice and fleas on human hosts</u> (not rats). Prof. Nils Stenseth, from the University of Oslo said: “The conclusion was very clear. The lice model fits best. ... It would be unlikely to spread as fast as it did if it was transmitted by rats.  It would have to go through this extra loop of the rats, rather than being spread from person to person.” (Quoted in January 16, 2018 article in <em>The Independent.)</em>

Ultimately, the spread of the plague occurred the way communicable diseases typically spread.  With any communicable disease, which is spread by communicating (moving) from one person to another, as long as there was some form of contact then the disease could spread.

I'll give brainliest! What new sort of governments arose during this era (between 1450 and 1770)?
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Monarchical dictatorships

Explanation:

Between 1450 and 1770, in Europe, most nations transitioned from a period of feudalism, in which monarchs had very little power, and had to share it with a series of local rulers known as feudal lords, to a period in which monarchs began to centralize more and more power.

This new form of government was known as absolute monarchy, and was particularly strong in countries like France or Russia, where the monarch managed to control all aspects of government, and had boundless power over its subjects.

Why would the Iroquois not care about getting a college education from the Europeans?
dybincka [34]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The Iroquois did not care about getting a college education from the Europeans because they did not want to change their rich culture, history, beliefs, and traditions, which were so rooted in the teachings of their ancestors and the love for mother nature.

When white European colonists arrived in the Americas in early 1607, the King of England .for instance- ordered to instruct the Native American Indians into the Cristian religious teachings. What was known as evangelization.  Europeans saw the Native Indians as "savages," ignorant people that needed to be instructed.

That is why some colonists founded Harvard college in 1650 in Massachusetts. Missionary man John Eliot had n¿been the supporter behind this idea that never really wrorked.
