ANSWER: In the mid-1840s, the size and nature of Irish immigration changed drastically. The potato blight which destroyed the staple of the Irish diet produced famine. Hundreds of thousands of peasants were driven from their cottages and forced to emigrate -- most often to North America.

Explanation: Pushed out of Ireland by religious conflicts, lack of political autonomy and dire economic conditions, these immigrants, who were often called "Scotch-Irish," were pulled to America by the promise of land ownership and greater religious freedom. Many Scotch-Irish immigrants were educated, skilled workers.

It's rather represent a period of time, but within this time frame, each region developed their artistic style in slightly different way.

In Pisa and Florence, the Romanesque churches have timber roofs, while the northern European buildings have vaulted interiors. Also, in Norman and England, the architects introduced the use of rib groin vaults over a three story nave. The Durham builders also experimented with quadrant arches in the tribute to buttress the nave vaults.

All of the following were effects of Reformation efforts EXCEPT:

antoniya [11.8K]

The efforts of the reform were directed against the sinful philosophy taken by the Catholic Church. One of those sinful philosophies was the give away of indulgences. An indulgence was a way to reduce the amount of punishment one has to undergo for sins in exchange for an amount of money. From all the aforementioned the start of selling indulgences was not an effect of Reformation.
