Why did European contact with Africa increase in the 1800s? A. Cecil Rhodes and Leopold II traveled into the interior, showing o
Ket [755]

The correct answer is - A. Cecil Rhodes and Leopold II traveled into the interior, showing other European leaders that such journeys were advantageous.

Rhodes and Leopold II in a way opened the gates for the European leaders to have the desire and go to the interior of the African continent. It was not just because of the possibility to do so because the African tribes were by far disadvantaged technologically and military compared to the Europeans, but it was the treasures that the continent was offering and how easy was it to get to them and use them for trade and become wealthy. That lead to a major colonization of the continent by the European colonial powers, and they took full advantage of the natural resources Africa had to offer.

How important of a role did the ideas from ancient Greek civilizations play in the development of the American political process
padilas [110]
The American Constitution was heavily based on the idea of democracy and a perfect world where people would have free speech and rights. The idea of democracy was derived from the earliest form of democracy, (direct) Roman democracy. As many people know, the Romans adopted a lot of Greek culture and ideas from taking over Ancient Greece in the times of the Roman Empire. This is what I think is how the American political process was formed from the basic standards of Greek civilizations.
