Dixon, Here are the extra credit answers:
#1) Some attempts were made to strengthen the republic to prevent the unstable situation that had existed before the war. These problems came about in 1958 because of the Algerian War. To deal with this problem the nation turned to WWII hero Charles de Gaulle who assumed that a new constitution would be introduced creating a powerful presidency. These changes were introduced and the Fifth Republic was born.
#2) The Protestant Reformation was a movement which began in the 16th century as a series of attempts to reform the Roman Catholic Church, but ended in division and the establishment of other Christian churches, including Lutheranism, Reformed churches, and Anabaptists.
#3) The Medici's rose to immense wealth as merchants and bankers, became affiliated through marriage with the major houses of Europe, and acquired the title grand duke of Tuscany, produced three popes, two queens of France, and several cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church.
#4) Ptolemy constructed a mathematical model of planetary motion that was much better at predicting planetary positions than anything else before.
#5) Galileo has been referred to as the "father of modern astronomy. He was one of the first people to use the telescope to observe the sky and he discovered Jupiter's four largest moons.
#6) The fall of the Bastille created one of the greatest symbols of the initial stage of the Revolution. This medieval fortress represented the ancient regime for most Parisian men and women.
