B-4 1. Medicine and Sanitation
-Vaccination
-Edward Jenner (late 1700)
-Tested people with cowpox because the didnt get smallpox, so he injected a small dose of cowpox into people to prevent smallpox.
Important because it cured smallpox, paved the was for pasteurilization because unpasteurilized food had bacteria and bacteria caused small pox, and because it was the first vaccination so it brought about the principle of injecting a small amount of bacteria to cure/prevent a large disease.
2. Public Education
-Public schooling
-1900 most European counties forced kids to go to school
- literacy became common so did writing
-people could get better jobs because they were better educated
Important because more people were becoming literate and could write and with that they could get better jobs which would pay more money, and with the money they could pay taxes and provide for their families and move up in the class structure.
And there u go!
