The Mayans planted many vegetables like beans,squash,Avocados,and maize or corn. So now we have all these vegetables that are sent around the world for us to eat.

MDC-17-Christianity

2018

The spread of Christianity is my MDC because without it I wouldn’t be a Christian. Without Charlemagne converting every one when Columbus came he wouldn’t be spreading Christianity most likely.

18-MDC- Universities

2018

While the Monks were drawing away from the world others were looking to learn more about it. Over time this urge to learn more sparked the first universities. Some by churches who taught about Christianity and some by students who got together and traveled looking for teachers. The universities taught in Latin about law, medicine,astronomy and many more classes. Then people started developed new ideas like how human reasoning and Christianity were related. One such man was Thomas Aquinas.

19-MDC- Reformation of the church

2018

The reformation of the church changed today because with the reformation I wouldn’t be a Protestant but a catholic. It showed the Catholic Church it isn’t completely about getting money but having a relationship with God.

20-MDC-America

2018

In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue little did he know he was in America not Asia. Without Columbus finding America I wouldn’t be American we might have never Known about other civilizations in the Americas. Without Columbus USA wouldn’t be such a great country as it is today.
