Technology 1450-1750

They copied the machines and processes that were used in the factories mainly textile and steel production. The Germans imported their engineering and tools from England. The development of the railways led to mining companies transferring coal to use in the factories. The railroad increased the demand for steel and coal. The railway was so important that the Germans quickly learned how to build their own trains so they didn’t have to rely on the technology of the British.

The growing importance and power of both the population and the Reichstag made it appear that Germany was a parliamentary democracy in the years 1900-1914. The impact of industrialisation was the growth of the socialist movement. There was a rapid growth of industries and it helped to stimulate a boom in the population creating a changed structure in German society. The standards of living had increased as well as the wages of workers for the working class. Bismark had introduced a tariff law in 1879 that made the farmers have protection for their agriculture but this was later challenged and threatened to undermine them. It must not be forgotten that the Reichstag elections did increase from 50% in 1871 to 85% in 1912. Therefore Germany can be seen as a parliamentary democracy as people were seeing the right to vote and it was relevant.

During the Renaissance in Europe, many new inventions were created. Among these inventions where items like the printing press. The printing press allowed for fast reproduction of text. No longer did books and papers need to be transcribed by hand. Now they could be produced at a greater rate by the printing press.

The printing press was a vital part of the Reformation,Renaissance ,and Age of exploration,without this writing tool these historical events wouldn't have literacy or technological advances when they did in that time period, which allow people able to read and learn how to read also reduces prices on books. The renaissance was the rebirth of europe in many of ways in which they had multiple achievements in science,art,and culture.then in the light of the reformation this shown how martin luther life have impact history as we know it with his 95 thesis to the pope and the church in the year of 1517.In addition to this was the age of exploration which many of empires wanted to have wealth which leaded to all the empires to sending their explorers like christof colombo,and others to find the quickest route to trade in the middle east to gain gold and assorted goods.

Throughout history there have been many different movements that have shape society into what it is today. In the Pre-modern Era (1450-1750) idea to challenge the traditional institution such catholic or absolute theory, was becoming a bigger factor day by day. This idea gave people more individual right and freedom. In the 1540-1690 the scientific revolution was one of those movements that change the mind of many people. This revolution gave a voice to society to speak about their opinions on space, communities and many more things.

Germany developed sovereignty, they had good base economically and industrially and had a good amount of producing money. By 1900 in European counterpart, Germany had the largest economy and they were the largest steel producing country which was the most important resources. With all the power they got it made them hungry for more power and money and led them to wanting to extend their territory. Britain was the most powerful country in Europe, Germany wanted to adjust that because they believed that Britain is holding too much land and they should share it’s territories.

There have been thousands of inventions created that have impacted the world greatly. Some historians might argue that the most important invention from the second millennium is the Gutenberg Printing Press, which was completed in 1450. The Gutenberg Printing Press was created by Johannes Gutenberg, a German inventor. Johannes Gutenberg created many inventions, but the invention of the printing press is the most impacting one. The Gutenberg Printing molded the modern world by allowing societal, religious, and intellectual works to be distributed and read at a rate never seen before.

Just 30 years before Luther was born, Gutenberg invented the printing press, generating an ability to mass-produce information and documents. Countries such as Spain and Portugal were still in a race to secure more land. The Italian Renaissance had spanned three centuries

The Two Greatest Advances Muslims Made During The Middle Ages The two greatest advances Muslims made during the middle ages was medicine, science, and technology. There are many reasons why those are the two greatest advancements Muslims made during the middle ages. I will talk about some of them. Muslims made advances in medicine.

Lynn White’s Medieval Technology and Social Change explores the idea that advancements in technology during the early medieval ages precipitated largescale social changes and reshaped the course of medieval European history. White presents a three-part argument that attempts to elaborate his overall thesis that technology and societal change were connected: the study of three critical developments showed the role of technology in social change; new sources and research methodologies were important to offering an understanding of unrecorded history; and that the East was not a broken band of nations, but rather was more interwoven that initially perceived. Because the first argument is the central thesis of the book, the latter two are often

Throughout the Renaissance in the 15th and 16th century there were many new ideas and technologies that became popular and helped Europe grow and expand. Some examples of new technology that emerged during the 15th and 16 century are: the movable printing press created by Johann Gutenberg. Another example is that during this time the Europeans began to make and improve their maps. They also created the compass and made improvements to their boats which made for safer and faster travels. If it were not for this new technology Europe would not have been able to gain wealth and power as fast as it did.

Gutenberg’s printing press was one of the most important inventions of the renaissance, as it has had a major impact on both the Renaissance and todays world of printing. The Gutenberg Press, impacted the renaissance by, making books and information easier and cheaper to reproduce and print, spreading more information easier and faster to vast audiences eager for new information, helping advance science and technology, and also by helping the economy grow stronger through creating new industries and the constant purchasing of books.

The middle ages of the west during the tenth to thirteenth centuries were a time of technological innovation. This revolution focused on the study and exploitation of various sources of energy, particularly water and wind, as well as the discovery of new mineral resources and a revolution in agriculture that rivaled that of industry. This boom brought about a cluster of new methods and devices that propelled urban growth and a firm belief in progress. The revolution of the middle age also shows the emergence of some critical factors that are used in modern day capitalism. By the fourteenth century the benefits of these developments were in serious decline. The setting became more of moral uncertainty and ecological crisis because of the continued exploitation of the natural resources. This continued use of resources led to inflation and depression, and of technological decline.

Germany became a unified country in 1871 under the leadership of Otto Von Bismarck. The separate states up until this time were independent, Prussia being the strongest and most influential, followed by Austria. There are several contributing factors to the unification of Germany, the most influential of which being the leadership of Otto Von Bismarck. The three wars that Prussia fought with Denmark, Austria and France also played significant roles in the unification of the German states. Another factor to consider is the increase in support of nationalism around Western Europe at the time, and the changes in German society. Through an evaluation of these factors and relevant sources one can

As long as there have been people in this world, technology and science have existed. Technology is a powerful force which helped in the development of civilization and is a part of our system of culture that reflects its values. Technology has become very complex over the years and today it is known to be a social enterprise that includes all aspects such as research, design, finance, manufacturing, labor etc.
