- new microscopes were made with powerful magnification and both koch and Pasteur needed the microscope to make their discoveries.
- Koch used new chemicals to dye bacteria.
- war

- Koch and Pasteur used each others discoveries to then go further
- Nightingale was sent to Crimea because the British government wanted to cut the number of dying soldiers during the Crimean War.
- Pasteur was from France and Koch was from Germany. France had lost the war in 1871 so they were rivals

- The British government gave Jenner £30,000 to open a vaccination clinic.The gov. made vaccination compulsory in 1852.
- Both governments were willing to fund the scientists as they wanted the glory for their country
- attitudes in society

- Inoculators were worried about losing their customers now that vaccination had been developed.
- science and technology
- Nightingale never understood what caused disease. She based her ideas about ventilation and cleanliness on the miasma theory, which was incorrect.
- Most people in 1800 believed in the miasma theory – the idea that bad air causes disease.
- Jenner could not explain how vaccination worked. He did not know about germs.This stopped him from discovering other vaccinations.
