The correct option is D

The 1996 Atlanta Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXVI Olympiad and informally like the Centennial Olympic Games, were held in Atlanta, United States, between July 19 and August 4, 1996. A total of 10,318 athletes participated ( 6806 men and 3512 women) from 197 countries, competing in 26 sports and 271 specialties.

The Games transformed the city of Atlanta profoundly, leading to a modernization of infrastructures and new sports facilities. The Olympic Village later constituted a residential area and equipment for the Technological Institute of Georgia. At the end of the Games, the Centennial Olympic Stadium was destroyed and replaced by a baseball field that occupies part of the grounds of the previous Olympic Stadium. Atlanta 1996 did not use public money to finance the Games, as it did in Los Angeles 1984. However, it was the first Olympics where all the financing was made through ticket sales, advertising, sponsorships and private investments. Unlike the 1984 event where a profitability worth 250 million dollars was achieved, Atlanta '96 profits were only 10 million.

How did Renaissance humanists differ from medieval speakers?
stiks02 [169]
The main difference is that Medieval thinking was preoccupied with God and religion, whereas Humanism is pre-occupied with reason, progress and science. If I had to put it in just one sentence, that would be it. 

<span>Humanism believes that reason is the ultimate virtue, whereas the Medieval's thought that the eternal was the ultimate virtue (such as God). Humanism believes in progress and science, which is that we continually improve society and mankind and are progressing towards a utopian society, or at least a better society, through our use of reason and through improvements in technology. </span>

<span>The Enlightenment was the birth of Humanism as we perceive it today.</span>

Explanation:

The surrender of Montreal on September 8, 1760 signaled an end to all major military operations between Britain in France in North America during the French and Indian War. Although the guns had fallen silent in Canada and the British colonies, it was still yet to be determined just how or when the Seven Years’ War, still raging throughout the world, would end. What resulted from this global conflict and the French and Indian War shaped the future of North America.

By 1762, the Seven Years’ War, fought in Europe, the Americas, West Africa, India, and the Philippines, had worn the opposing sides in the conflict down. The combatants (Britain, Prussia, and Hanover against France, Spain, Austria, Saxony, Sweden, and Russia) were ready for peace and a return to the status quo. Imperialist members of the British Parliament did not want to yield the territories gained during the war, but the other faction believed that it was necessary to return a number of France’s antebellum holdings in order to maintain a balance of power in Europe. This latter measure would not, however, include France’s North American territories and Spanish Florida.

On February 10, 1763, over two years after the fighting had ended in North America, hostilities officially ceased with the signing of the Treaty of Paris between Britain, France, and Spain. The fate of America’s future had been placed on a new trajectory, and as famously asserted by 19th century historian, Francis Parkman, “half the continent had changed hands at the scratch of a pen.” France’s North American empire had vanished.
