1. Would you agree that many in Europe during the 1500s & 1600s lived with a sort of "siege mentality? (like being in a city under siege by hostile forces bent on your destruction).
I agree with the statement that people lived in a siege mentality for various reasons such as religious, social and scientific reasons. It was in the 16th century that the protestant reformation was spreading in the Europe and people were confused about which faith to follow or stick to their false beliefs. Secondly, Enlightenment thoughts started to emerge in Europe which started to threaten the already established political and religious beliefs and called people to think anew. Thirdly, scientific advancement called for more religious revival and the way religions controlled people for centuries. Thus, people during this period lived in a siege mentality whether to continue with their existing beliefs or to look towards a new world.
