What were the Salem Witch Trials and their main causes?

the main reason they were killed is because they were witches and that they did witch craft and that's why they were hanged

Hope this helps :)

pepin the short[a] (german: pippin der kurze, french: pépin le bref, c. 714 – 24 september 768) was the king of the franks from 751 until his death. he was the first of the carolingians to become king.[b][2]

the younger son of the frankish prince charles martel and his wife rotrude, pepin's upbringing was distinguished by the ecclesiastical education he had received from the monks of st. denis. succeeding his father as the mayor of the palace in 741, pepin reigned over francia jointly with his elder brother carloman. pepin ruled in neustria, burgundy, and provence, while his brother carloman established himself in austrasia, alemannia and thuringia. the brothers were active in suppressing revolts led by the bavarians, aquitanians, saxons, and the alemanni in the early years of their reign. in 743, they ended the frankish interregnum by choosing childeric iii, who was to be the last merovingian monarch, as figurehead king of the franks.

well this is going to be a long answer lol ok so the visigoths were a branch of the goths who frequently raided rome, uh the hunas attacked the guptas a lot and weakened them, uuhm of course the romans used math and science in there every day lives i mean they had a whole empire to run, and rome was split into east and west by a general named diocletian. hope this you! : )
