Most important consequence of the printing press
Throughout history there have been many changes, discoveries, and inventions around the world. One of the most significant inventions that changed the world completely was Gutenberg’s invention; in the 1450s he revolutionized the world by inventing the printing press. He changed human communication completely, but what was the most important consequence of the printing press? The transition before the printing press was invented and after the printing press was invented? The spread of a new religion? Geography and exploration? The spread of ideas?
One of the consequences of the printing press was greater knowledge in geography and more exploration. Before the printing press people would explore of course but it was abstruse because not a lot of technology existed. Hence Geography gave more people knowledge of the world, exploration created the establishment of colonies around the world, more territories were discovered. Document 7 shows a letter from Columbus explaining that he reached new islands, then that letter was sent Barcelona, Valladolid, Rome, Florence, Paris and other places around the world. Document 7 shows us pictures of maps and how the maps kept on changing throughout the years as the people made discoveries around the world, Because of the printing press people were able to know how other explorers reached new lands and inspired others to explore. if it wasn’t because of the printing press maps wouldn’t of gone throughout Europe, the establishment of colonies and the discoveries of new lands and territories would of taken longer.
The second consequence about the printing press that made a big impact on the world was the spread of Protestant religion. Luther’s ideas were spread due to the printing press and that helped spread the Catholic Church apart. Document 3 tells us how the printing press made more copies of a lot of Martin Luther’s books, this mean more people
