We initially discussed about how the Renaissance contributed to the art and emerged as a trading center for the entire Europe.

Renaissance

Venice made a significant contribution to art, architecture, and sculpture especially in the 16th century and it is regarded as one of the great centers of the Renaissance, the equal of Rome and Florence. Moreover, the city was to become one of the centers of European art until the 18th century.

The Red coats

Sir asked a very interesting question that, What could be the reason of wearing red coats?, The soldiers are fighting the enemy , as the color of blood is red it gets hidden in red coats and the enemy won’t see and know . We continued about, Fort William was the first place to be established by the English, and the English  came there along with the intention to start off trading.  Spices have been in huge trade and have  been the main reason for  successful trade . The English always have believed in “Divide and rule” wherever they ever ruled.

The Pirates

The pirates were the first ones to establish democracy also they respected every race and didn’t discriminate, even when they looted other people ,they used to divided their sum among all. The pirates are smart with their approach of living and working, reason why thy wear an eye patch , The eye patch could be used to prepare one eye to see in the dark, so when they would go below deck they could swap the eye patch from one eye to the other and see with the eye that has already adjusted to low light conditions. This would allow them to instantly see in the dark.
