Why did the german peasants expect luther to support the revolt

At the beginning of the conflict between peasants and the nobility in Germany, Luther played more of a neutral role, trying to get the two sides to see each others' view. As the peasants rose up in power, Luther decided that the peasants should respect their nobles as kids should respect elders.

The peasants thought Luther would side with them during the revolt because he had spent his life's work against the church and not siding with them. He was basically revolting! But no Luther did not side with the peasants, instead he saw them as a threat. I believe this may also be because if he had sided with the peasants and they lost the nobles will not follow him and his new way of viewing the church.

Hope this helps!

assessment is the missing word

answer:   migrations were important in the neolithic period. "two major migrations passing through southeastern europe were confirmed by the means of archaeo-genetic studies."

the first migration was the early neolithic period -- 6,000 before common era (bce) -- when the first farmers, from anatolia -- asia minor -- spread through europe. the second migration occurred during the early bronze age (3,000-2,500 bce) when the so-called "steppe population," from the eurasian steppe, replaced much of northern europe's previous population.

the first farmers of northern and western europe passed through southeastern europe with limited hunter-gatherer genetic admixture, which occurs when two or more previously isolated populations begin interbreeding. however, some groups that remained mixed extensively -- without the male-biased, hunter-gatherer admixture that prevailed later in the north and west, according to latest discoveries. southeastern europe continued to be a nexus between east and west, with intermittent genetic contact with the steppe people up to 2,000 years before the migrations that replaced much of northern europe's population.

"in some places, hunter-gatherers and incoming farmers seem to have mixed very quickly," says iain mathieson, a geneticist at the university of pennsylvania, who was first author of the paper. "but, mostly, the two groups remained isolated, at least for the first few hundred years. these hunter-gatherers had been living there for thousands of years, and it must have been quite a shock to have these new people show up -- with a completely different lifestyle and appearance."
