Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

“Government that begin by burning books end by burning people" is quote that is made popular by Heinrich Heine, a German of Jewish origin, who wrote in one of his book that "Where they burn books, they will, in the end, burn human beings too". This implies that, the purpose of burning books is to delete permanently the knowledge and history in the book. However, book is just a medium, and people can still pass the knowledge and history through other means, then, those burning the books, will eventually burn people to eradicate the knowledge and history inside the book completely.

Hence, it relates to democracy, because democracy is a form of government that prohibits oppression and encourage expression of the citizens regardless of class, hence, should any democratic government intends to silence people's opinions and voices, by burning their books or written thoughts on subject matter affecting the country, will eventually burn the people giving out those thoughts, that is by silencing them, jailing them or killing them completely, to eliminate and remove their knowledge from the public.

How did the renaissance lead to european exploration?
lisabon 2012 [21]

What were some of the characteristics of the European Renaissance that prompted and promoted the exploration and settlement of the New World?

This was a time when new ideas were introduced to Europe. Up until this time Europe was still in the backwaters while middle-Eastern Islamic cultures were flourishing with discoveries in science and math. The eyes of the Europeans were opened through the Crusades. This was the time when the minds of the people became more focused on H.S.I (Humanism, Secularism, and Individualism). . Answer . Europe was filled with plague and beheadings at that time, so it wasn't a happy place.

Contextualization

Mongol's military invasion led the empire to spread extensively. They are recognised as nomadic horsemen from the eastern steppe of Asia. The Mongols presence in Afro-Eurasia led to the decline of established early empires.

Argument 1

The Mongols affected the Russian culture by incorporating Asian characteristics into their culture.

Document 6

We can see this in the historical situation where the Mongols defended the Russians against the Europeans strengthening their bond.

Argument 2

The Mongols helped develop places for education like universities and colleges.

Document 2

Sorqotani Beki, the wife of Ulugh-Noyan’s death gave 1000 silver balish for a college to be built in Bokhara.

Argument 3

The men of Tauris attracted many merchants due to their incredible handiworks making the region flourish.

Document 1

This attracted many merchants from India and the western countries spreading their culture and beauty.

I don't know if this is right or not, but this is what I wrote.
