Answer:

The Second Opium War ， also known as the Second Anglo-Chinese War, the Second China War, the Arrow War, or the Anglo-French expedition to China, was a war pitting the British Empire and the French Empire against the Qing dynasty of China that lasted from 1856 to 1860.

In 1860, British and French troops landed near Beijing and fought their way into the city. Negotiations quickly broke down and the British High Commissioner to China ordered the troops to loot and destroy the Imperial Summer Palace, a complex and garden where Qing Dynasty emperors had traditionally handled the country’s official matters.

The second Opium War forced the Qing government to sign peace treaties between China and Russia such Tianjin Treaty and Beijing Treaty. As a result, China lost more than 1.5 million square kilometers of territory in northeast and northwest China. After the war, the Qing government was able to concentrate on the Taiping Rebellion and maintaining its rule. The agreements of the Convention of Peking led to the ceding of Kowloon Peninsula as part of Hong Kong.

Which reformist was against selling indulgences in the Roman Catholic Church and nailed 95 reasons about selling them were wrong

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Martin Luther.

Explanation:

Martin Luther was a German theologian, a monk, an author, etc. among many other titles. He was famous for his "Ninety-Five Theses" which critiques the selling of indulgences by the Catholic Church. He would later be the influence behind the increase and spread of secular democracy in the Christian world.

Luther was against the practice of clergy selling plenary indulgences to the public. These indulgences are a sort of 'forgiven pass' for believers to get to heaven with lesser 'punishments'. This means that buying indulgences allow a person to get fewer punishments after death and get to heaven. Martin Luther believed that faith alone is the only requirement to get to heaven and not such indulgences. He famously printed his Ninety-Five Theses and nailed it to the Church door.
