Sir Isaac Newton unified early modern astronomy and physics by formulating the law of motion, which really took over science until the 20th century. What he thought and discovered was the same natural law that govern the heavens and the earth, linking them like falling apples and orbiting planets.

This goes to show that Europe developed legally independent institutions, especially universities, scholars gained greater freedom from church and state control. The independence allowed the study of nature to separate from philosophy and theology. This allowed universities and later scientific academic became key centers for producing scientific knowledge.

I think this is quite interesting. Obviously China was very powerful and had many strong thoughts and political stance. So it was very different from other countries and nations interacting with Christianity. the Jesuits had to convert to learn the culture of Chinese. They did this by learning the language, wearing the clothes, and getting "acquainted" with their text. They basically just exchanged ideas and thoughts. Then that was how they were aloud to spear their religion with respect and honor.

The reformation and the spread of religion boomed over the past years. The main help of this fact spreading religion was the printing press and how it would transform texts to different languages. This is what English protestant said was the word or what "God has appointed" to help give the voice of religion and God voice through the Pope. it most boomed through German but it also spread through France, Switzerland, and England.

Turkish women compared to English women had a lot of power in the social and political world. the elite women in the ottoman power strongly influenced the politics during this period and they were know as the "sultanate of women". Islamic law gave them property of legal rights too. This compared to European women they definitely "have more liberty" than any European women could ask for.

This really stuck out to me. usually women have very little rights during this time. However some elite women were able to practice in politics which is quite shocking and amazing to me. The twentieth wife of Emperor Jahangir and was considered the "power behind the throne" allowing her to have an opinion and a say in different things.

Slave women played and essential and difficult roles. They worked in the fields doing heavy labor, faced the same harsh punishment as men, and also worked in urban jobs. Often fails were born apart. What makes this quote sad was, Mary Prince told how painful it was to have your family torn apart and to which you would never get to see them again. using words like "bitter pain" and "sore to be borne".

The local people were a very big help to the Spanish people during their battles and conquering. The Spanish helped liberate them from the Aztecs. Which was the main cause of how the Spanish won. My question is why did some of the Aztec go to the Spanish to help defeat themselves and their powerful rule? Weren't the Aztecs a very powerful and wealthy empire?
