History

Gennadij [26K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

gossip, religion, lies, betrayal,  

Explanation:

A lot of social changes and events occurred that caused the Salem witch trials. The current religion at the time was puritanism, they were a very strict and proper group of people. They believed that everyone was born evil and they their life was to listen and obey the word of god to get into heaven. Most stories go back saying the cause of the Salem Witch trials began by a slave named Tituba, who was teaching the local girls games/answers through witchcraft. Once this outbreak occurred many of the girls began to act strangely and accused people of bewitching them. All you had to say was so and so is a witch and that person was on trial for witchcraft. You didn't even have to be  necessarily be involved if a name was asked a name was said. If you went against the word of God or questioned why someone was a witch or defended them you were also accused of being a witch. I hope this helps better understand the Salem witch trials.

Why did the transatlantic slave trade expand after the 16th century
AlekseyPX

Answer:

It is estimated that by the early 16th century as much as 10% of Lisbon's population was of African descent. After the European discovery of the American continent, the demand for African labour gradually grew, as other sources of labour - both European and American - were found to be insufficient.

Did Ethiopia defeat portugal to stay independent
Naddika [18.5K]

<u>Ethiopia defeat Portugal to stay independent:</u>

The Abyssinian-Adal(Ethiopia & Portugal) War was a military conflict between the "Ethiopian Empire and the Adal Sultanate" that took place from 1529 to 1543. The Abyssinian troops included the Amhara, Tigrayan, and Aegay ethnic groups. The Adal army consisted mostly of Afar, Harari, Somali with Argoba forces.

In the process both politicians exhausted their resources and manpower, resulting in a contraction of both powers and changing "regional dynamics for centuries" to come. In 1529, Imam Ahmad's contingents defeated a large amount of  Ethiopian contingent at the "Battle of Shimba Qir". The victory came at a huge cost, but it strengthened the morale of the Somali army, providing evidence that they could stand with the Ethiopian army at large.

500 Muscatiers were led by the  Bahri Negassi Yeshak, the king of Medri Bahri. Not only did Yasakh provide the Portuguese with provisions and places to camp within their scope, but also informed them about the land.
