1.To what extent were environmental factors – climate change, deforestation, loss of soil quality, the impact of microorganisms, etc. – causes of modernization from 900 to 1750?
2.It has been said that religious unity – “one church of all believers” – was one of the pillars of traditional culture in medieval Western civilization. What factors contributed to the decline of religious unity and the rise of religious diversity in the West from 900 to 1750?
3.It is said that, beginning in the 1200s and continuing through the 1500s, a series of events undermined feudalism (the traditional political system of the High Middle Ages) and led to the rise of strong kings, nation-states, and even superpowers, which are more modern forms of government. What changes occurred, and why did they happen?
4.Which event do you believe had the greatest influence in bringing about modernization, the Expansion of the West or the Scientific Revolution? Explain your answer by contrasting the consequences of each event.
If you have ANY tips/answers for these questions, let me know. Thank you so much =)
