ALRIGHT SO, during the renaissance society got all sorts of yikes. Shakespeare created the vernacular (basically breaking down the language so the average person could read & understand it) which he used in his writings & it also was used in the bibles so that the average person could read them & they kind of strayed away from the church and such. Also, John Calvin & Martin Luther created calvinism & lutheranism because they didn't agree with the catholic church's views & such, which caused a controversy & people started separating from the catholic church & started following Calvin & Luther (i hope this helped!!! it's 11:11pm so sorry if i couldn't explain too well)
Because of civil unrest, severe unemployment, and because of the great famine. Irish people were mostly farmer so they depended on potatoes. Oh and it went on from 1820 to 1870
