Source: Excerpt from “Science,” by Cristian Violatti, published in the Ancient History Encyclopedia.
...the development of Chinese science is strongly linked to government officials. The court astronomers were particularly interested in the sciences of astronomy and mathematics, since the calendar was a sensitive imperial matter: the life of the sky and the life on earth had to develop in harmony, and the sun and the moon regulated the different festivals. During the time of Confucius (c. 551 to c. 479 BCE), Chinese astronomers successfully calculated the occurrence of eclipses.
Geometry developed as a result of the need to measure land, while algebra was imported from India. During the 2nd century BCE, after many centuries and generations, a mathematical essay named The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art was completed. This work contained mostly practical mathematical procedures including topics such as determining the areas of fields of different shapes (for taxation purposes), pricing of different goods, commodities rate exchange and fair taxation. This book develops algebra, geometry, and also mentions negative quantities for the first time in recorded history. Zu Chongzhi (429–500 CE), estimated the right value of pi to the sixth decimal place and improved the magnet, which had been discovered centuries earlier.
Where the Chinese displayed an exceptional talent was at making inventions. Gunpowder, paper, woodblock printing, [and] the compass are some of the many Chinese inventions.
How did the technologies of gunpowder, printing, and the compass spread out of Asia? Where did these technologies spread to and what was their impact?
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gunpowder, printing and compass technologies spread around the world, by maritime or mercantile routes, these inventions revolutionized the world, and are used to this nowadays, to understand more.....
GunpowderMuslims acquired knowledge of gunpowder sometime between 1240 and 1280, when the Syrian Hasan al-Rammah wrote in Arabic recipes for gunpowder, instructions for purifying saltpeter, and descriptions of gunpowder incendiary behaviors. It is implied in the use of some terms that he derived his knowledge from Chinese sources: in his references to saltpeter as "Chinese snow", fireworks as "Chinese flowers", and rockets as "Chinese arrows".
The first western accounts of gunpowder appear in texts written by the English philosopher Roger Bacon in the 13th century. Various sources mention Chinese weapons and gunpowder weapons being used by the Mongols against European forces at the Battle of Mohi in 1241.
PrintingThe Chinese invention of woodcut printing, sometime before the first book dated 868 (the Diamond Sutra), produced the world's first printed culture. According to A. Hyatt Mayor, curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "it was the Chinese who really discovered the media that would dominate until our era." Printing in northern China advanced even further in the 11th century, as it was written by Song dynasty scientist and statesman Shen Kuo (1031-1095), that the common craftsman Bi Sheng (990-1051) invented movable ceramic type printing.
The Qing Dynasty court sponsored huge printing projects using movable type printing on wooden blocks during the 18th century. Although replaced by Western printing techniques, movable wooden block type printing still remains in use in isolated communities in China.
CompassThis location instrument was created by the Chinese and modified by different peoples. The large-scale use of the compass was undertaken in the period of the Great Navigations, especially by the Europeans, who relied on this instrument to carry out sea voyages to new colonial possessions.
With this information, we can say that Gunpowder, printing and compass went to the world for being revolutionary inventions, and the impact of these inventions in the whole world were from technological development to an improvement of techniques and tools.

Answer:
Yes I agree with his Motto of Where there is bread there is my country. In order to explain this, an emigrant can be regarded as a person who leaves his country to a foreign country in order to settle there permanently. One of the reasons why a person would want to leave in a different country is the availability of bread. Bread here means a lot of things. It could be used to describe a the good life.

A state is a politically autonomous unit (notice the capital "S"). States and countries can both be used interchangeably.

Sources of Knowledge: In Europe, prior to the Scientific Revolution, there were a few key sources of knowledge. When you wanted to know whether something was true or not, you turned to these sources for confirmation: 1) religion (the Church, the Bible, & God), 2) ancient scholars from Greece and Rome (ancient wisdom), 3) the king. To learn about nature and the universe, a common approach would be to read the Bible to see what it said. But most people couldn’t read, so they would have to ask a Christian Priest who could read. Another common approach would be to examine the writings of scholars from Ancient Greece and Rome. The thinkers of the Scientific Revolution challenged the validity of these sources as a legitimate basis for truth. These new scientists believed that neither the church, the king, nor ancient scholars had all the answers. They decided to try to figure out the answers for themselves, in a new way.

... hope it helps :)
Answer:
Ancient times till 1707 AD
The history of India begins with the dawn of Indus Valley civilization which
flourished between 3500 BC to 1800 BC. The Indus civilization's economy appears to
have depended significantly on trade, which was facilitated by advances in transport. Its
citizens practiced agriculture, domesticated animals, made sharp tools and weapons
from copper, bronze and tin and traded in terracotta pots, beads, gold and silver,
coloured gem stones such as turquoise and lapis lazuli, metals, flints, seashells and
pearls. They used to ships to reach Mesopotamia where they sold gold, copper and
jewellery. Around 600 BC, the Mahajanapadas minted punch-marked silver coins. The
period was marked by intensive trade activity and urban development. By 300 B.C.,
when Middle East was under the Greek Seleucid and Ptolemaic empires the Maurya
Empire (c. 321 -185 BC) united most of the Indian subcontinent. The political unity and
military security allowed for a common economic system and enhanced trade and
commerce, with increased agricultural productivity. The empire spent considerable
resources building roads and maintaining them throughout India. The improved
infrastructure combined with increased security, greater uniformity in measurements, and
increasing usage of coins as currency enhanced trade. For the next 1500 years, India
produced its classical civilizations which generated wealth in huge amount. Between 1st
and 17th centuries AD, India is estimated to have had the largest economy of the ancient
and medieval world, controlling between one third and one fourth of the world's wealth.

B. It remained contested, and many did not accept Jefferson as president.

What was e transfer of power after the election of 1800?This could happen following elections or while leaving a different type of political government, such the postcommunist era following the fall of the Soviet Union.
To comprehend the transition to constitutional democracy and the comparatively stable nature of that government, experts studying democratisation and newly emerging democracies look at successful power transfers.

Jefferson's inauguration, the Democratic-Republican debate, and the electoral drama were all put to rest, along with the political intrigue surrounding them.the capture of Congress established a crucial precedent. It was the country's first peaceful transfer of power between political parties.
