What are some historical events similar to the Salem witch trials? What are the common factors among all these events?
Were there any other factors that led to these trials?
Yes, political and religious factors often played a role. For example, during the Basque witch trials, the Spanish Inquisition was in power and accused many people of witchcraft. In Salem, there was tension between the Puritan church and those who opposed their strict religious practices.
