Martin Luther's 95 Document: The Voyages Of The Protestant Reformation

The Protestant Reformation was a major European movement in the 16th century that reformed the Catholic Church. The Reformation imposed in medieval Christianity, this was toward the beginning of the modern era. A German Augustinian by the name of Martin Luther King (1483-1546) put a document called the 95 thesis in a town called Wittenburg. HIs 95 thesis challenged some important Roman Catholic beliefs.

Martin Luther’s father was a poor farmer, and to help the family finances he was a copper miner. When Luther became a monk he did not find spiritual satisfaction so he created the 95 thesis. When the king of germany told him to go into silence, he disobeyed and became an outlaw.

Europe’s position to move and new voyages

Why was

europe in a position to expand? Population, lack of resources and Europe been marred by many wars. Europe was in a position to live in North America because of new technology and knowledge, from Columbus's discovery. The technology of this time was ships, artillery, and new mapping capabilities.
The Vikings were actually the first to discover North America, and these are not the vikings in (How to Train your Dragon), these vikings where voyagers, though they were not given credit for it because they kept their findings hidden. The leader of these vikings was Leif Erikson who was believed to discover America five centuries before Columbus.
The Vikings landed on modern Vineland (newfoundland). They called it the norse settlement.

voyages of discovery
even when the vikings didn’t share their discovery the europeans still found way to to find the new world because of adventure.

Born in 1451 and died in 1506, columbus had a spark for adventure and when he got older his voyage was funded by King ferdinand and Queen isabella, accidently found a new world searching for a trade route to india.

Spain's motive for funding columbus was getting spices from asia. HE landed in the bahammas archipelico that he named san salvidore. Columbuses voyages lead to the first eauropean settlers and they soon woun become americans.

first european

the first europeans to settle but was not permanent was roanok colony, the little virginia dare was the first to be born in the new world. Sadly the colony was lost sir walter raligh was the founder of roanaoke, he was a explorer, soldier, spy, courtier, and when he rturnee from engleand there was a word carved into a tree and the people of roanoke Town. The first permanent settlement was Jamestown and this isn't the Disney version with pocahontas saving his life. The settlement was originally built for resources and gold. John Smith's famous quote was " He that will not work shall not eat." and because of this philosophy it kept the settlement going. And when he was injured in an accidental explosion he went back to England and after he was well again and

returned.
Pocahontas was a young girl who kept peace between the Native Americans and the settlers, until her tragic death at a young age gave a window for her uncle to attack the settlement. John smith and Pocahontas's paths join when poahauntas saves john smith live by stopping a exicution, this is debatable if this actually happen or it was a acceptance ceremony. (Don't believe Disney.)
