Since she was a female monarch and not male, which was rare in England, people believed that she wouldn’t be a competent monarch.

    *The Scientific Revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries brings to mind great scientists like Galileo who dedicated themselves to math and science in order to help human learning. Advances were made in chemistry, astronomy, math, and even more branches of science by these men. However, they were not the ones whose thoughts were able to change that of the people in charge, i.e., the Pope and the powerful rulers of that time. Without those people, the ideas of the scientists would never have been accepted by the general public. The thoughts of those people such as religious figures, philosophers, and even men working in the state were those that most helped to push the scientific revolution forward, because they broke boundaries and changed the way even society itself reacted to new ideas and developments.…

    Queen Hatshepsut DBQ

    • 1008 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Queen Hatshepsut was the first female pharaoh who ruled Egypt. She reigned during 1473 – 1458 B.C.E. She first served as co-ruler with her stepson Tuthmosis III, but later took power as a pharaoh herself. Although she was a great ruler, the idea of having a female ruler was unfamiliar to Egyptians and it unsettled them. As an effort to present her in unthreatening guise to make Egyptians feel more at ease, artists depicted Queen Hatshepsut as a male wearing the stylized beards that are traditionally associated with pharaohs. This gesture shows how females are subordinate to males because they did not feel comfortable that their nation was being led by a female. That is why most societies turned to patriarchal rule. This gesture also showed how they did not respect Queen Hatshepsut because they altered her image as a male. Many societies indicated women’s subordination to men’s status through documents showing how women were not able to participate in government duties, not being allowed a proper education and the inequality between slave men and slave women.…

    When Queen Elizabeth ascended to the throne, there were violent clashes throughout Europe between Protestant and Catholic leaders and their followers. Though Elizabeth honored many of the Protestant edicts of her late father, King Henry VIII, she made significant concessions to Catholic sympathizers, which kept them from attempting rebellion. But when compromise was not possible, she was an exacting and determined leader who did not shy away from conflict. With the naval defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, England was firmly established as a leading military and commercial power in the Western world. Elizabeth supported and later knighted Sir Francis Drake, the first sailor to circumnavigate the globe. She also funded Sir Walter Raleigh's…

    Religion, mostly the Bible, was being proven incorrect and more believable and acceptable answers were given instead. The Protestant Reformation which started with Martin Luther nailing the 95 theses on Church doors also committed to the spark of the Roman Catholic Reformation. Scientific observers were surprised to find that their conclusions did not always match up with the accepted truths, and this finding inspired others to delve further into the study of the world around them. Under constant heat the Church took a stand and took away their unfair indulgences; however, did not support any scientific beliefs that proved the Bible wrong.…

    The Scientific Revolution was caused by a number of preceding events, such as the Renaissance. The Renaissance occurred from 1300 to 1600, and was a rebirth of learning after Europe emerged from the Dark Ages. The Renaissance inspired a spirit of curiosity and change from learning that aided the Scientific Revolution by developing a higher education that enabled them to make opinions for themselves. Furthermore, the Renaissance allowed people to question both the Church and the olden ways, which enforced the Scientific Revolutionary idea of challenging the ancient thinkers and the Church. The printing press, invented during the Renaissance, helped spread this life changing information that suggested that these fundamental beliefs could be false.…
