    one of the ways the printing press changed human communication was writers and explorers from across the world could now share new discoveries and prints. Document 6 is a good example of how it changed communication and exploration; it shows a letter Christopher Columbus sent describing that he had found new islands. After sending that letter, it was sent to Barcelona, Valladolid, Rome, Florence, Paris, and many other places around the world. This made many explorers decide to set sail to make new discoveries because they knew there was more land to be found.

    The first area, and the area that affected the monarchs decisions in other areas the most, was religion. While Philip II and Louis XIV were both catholic, Queen Elizabeth was protestant, and were Philip II and Louis XIV were both very strict in enforcing a state religion Queen Elizabeth was much more lax. Because of their religious policy both Philip II’s and Louis XIV’s economy was irrevocably influenced. Philip II lack of religious tolerance combined with constant suspicion of the Marranos and the Moriscos both had immense effects on his economy. The constant support of the inquisitions tactics and suspicion caused the Moriscos to revolt. The Moriscos were defeated and expelled from the country.

    Although the reformation was important to the printing presses success, I believe that exploration was more important. For example, Christopher Columbus would have never discovered the Americas if he had not explored the ocean. The creation and use of the printing press was important to the maps success. The printing press allowed for maps to be mass produced. These maps were then distributed all over Europe. New explorers saw and bought the maps and then went exploring and found new lands. They would then add the information that they discovered to revise and reprint a new map. Exploration also helped the spread of geological knowledge that might not have been spread otherwise. If explorers continued to only explore Europe and Africa they…

    Even though this is the Renaissance Era, there is still a lot of focus on religion, especially the church. Since the Renaissance Era came right after the Middle Ages Era, there was no way that the influence of Christianity would die out so quick. The intense religious practice is still around from the Middle Ages Era and so the Pope and the church still hold immense power. Pope Julius II wants to unite Italy under the leadership of the Vatican and show Europe the power of the church. He went and asked Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel with religious themes since the chapel is often used for meetings and gather of the masses. Therefore, the pope can show his influence to the people. Michelangelo declined the offer at first, since he preferred to sculpt rather than to paint.
