jan 1, 1445 - Gutenberg Press
Description:
The invention of the first movable printing press in Europe by Johann Gutenberg allowed the widespread ability to publish the Bible. As the technology spread to German merchants and businessmen, they proceeded to spread across Europe in search of business opportunities. The ability to mass-produce writing is important in both the past and present as writing allows for the production of both culture and propaganda.Added to timeline:
