How did the Catholic Church accumulate almost as much wealth as European kings

i hope this helps

Explanation:

The Catholic Church was extremely wealthy. Monetary donations were given by many levels of society, most commonly in the form of a tithe, a tax which normally saw people give roughly 10% of their earnings to the Church.

Explanation:

i think the correct answer is:

byzantine icon- served as religious symbols in christian churches and were valued and respected for their beauty

illuminated manuscript-preserved classical greek and roman knowledge and were the first bound books

this means that germany had to pay the allied countries. reparations are/is essentially payment for something that they have done wrong, so after ww1, germany was forced to pay reparations so they could replenish the allied countries resources' that they had lost during the war.
