Introduction: The Roman Catholic Church was the only strong, united force in the Middle Ages. The Church became very powerful and the head of the Church, the Pope, could force even kings and emperors to obey him. The Pope was always looking for ways to expand his power and he was even willing to go to war and fight to increase his control over the people in the world. One way the Pope sought to expand his power was by taking control of Jerusalem. Three major religions said that Jerusalem (in the land of Palestine) was their holy city: To Christians it is the place where Jesus was crucified and went to heaven. To Muslims it is the place where Mohammed went to heaven. To Jews it is the place of the ancient temple built by the King Solomon. 1. Why was taking control of Jerusalem important to the Pope?​

the main objectives of the progressive movement were eliminating problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption.

both eastern and western early north american cultures were known for building wigwams and longhouses.

wigwams, also called wetus, were small houses of 8-10 feet tall, made of wooden frames covered with woven mats and sheets that were used by algonquian indians. similarly,   longhouses were also used by algonquian and the iroquois tribes, and they were built as well with pole frames and elm bark covering. however, the main difference between wigwams and longhouses is that the latter was much larger than the former, with 200 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 20 feet high with inner raised platforms used for sleeping space.
