5 0

Explanation:

The Portuguese nobleman Vasco da Gama (1460-1524) sailed from Lisbon in 1497 on a mission to reach India and open a sea route from Europe to the East. After sailing down the western coast of Africa and rounding the Cape of Good Hope, his expedition made numerous stops in Africa before reaching the trading post of Calicut, India, in May 1498. Da Gama received a hero’s welcome back in Portugal, and was sent on a second expedition to India in 1502, during which he brutally clashed with Muslim traders in the region. Two decades later, da Gama again returned to India, this time as Portuguese viceroy; he died there of an illness in late 1524.

Why was the Embargo Act repealed?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

impacted foreign trade with nations other than Britain

Explanation:

The Embargo Act of 1897 was repealed because it "impacted foreign trade with nations other than Britain."

This is evident in the fact that American traders lost a lot of money during the period of embargo, as it was not only the British, the embargo asked not to trade with but other foreign nations as well.

The purpose of the act was to lessen the power of Britain during their war with France, however, it affected the American merchants more as it prohibits trading with not just the British but other foreign nations. It was later repealed in 1809 as against the scheduled 1810.

This is an excerpt from Secretary of State Marshall’s speech explaining his plan for European recovery,
givi [52]

Secretary of State Marshall suggested his plan to help rebuild European economies after World War as a way of staving off political instability and poverty conditions, which would become breeding grounds for governments that would go against freedom.

Explanation/context:

The "Marshall Plan" was named after the man who then was US Secretary of State, George C. Marshall.  Officially the plan was called the European Recovery Program.  Marshall announced the plan in 1947, and it went into effect in 1948.  The intent was to provide aid and rebuilding to European economies after the damaging effects of World War II.  

In his speech introducing the plan, Secretary Marshall presented the plan as aid for any and all nations, saying :  "Our policy is not directed against any country, but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Any government that is willing to assist in recovery will find full co-operation on the part of the United States. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist."  <em>[I provided more context for the quote you had shown, to see more of his intent in the remarks.]</em>

The view in the communist-controlled Eastern bloc was that the US was trying to use such a policy to spread its influence and threaten their patterns of government under communism.  So the plan ended up building allies for the US in Western Europe, while the Eastern European countries sided with the Soviet Union.  So it was an example of Cold War tactics of competition between the US and the USSR, apart from the use of military force.
