Explain why the increasing prices of Eastern goods in Europe helped lead to the discovery of America.

History
1 answer:
diamong [38]1 year ago

The reason why the increasing prices of Eastern goods in Europe led to the discovery of America was that the Europeans needed a new route to Asia to avoid the middlemen who made the Eastern goods expensive.

<h3>Why did the Europeans seek a route to Asia?</h3>

For Eastern goods to reach Europe, they had to go over the Levant and the Middle East. These were areas that were controlled by Muslim empires and nations and so they had no incentive to be nice to the Europeans. To that end, they increased the prices of the Eastern goods passing through their territories.

The Europeans then knew that they would have to cut out the Muslim middlemen from the trade in Eastern goods. People like Christopher Columbus believed that if you sailed west from Europe, you should eventually get to Asia. And so he got permission to do so and that was how he rediscovered America for Europeans.

How many southern states did Lincoln win electoral votes from?
damaskus [11]

Answer:

3. 0

Explanation:

In both instances of the election, Lincoln won with just the support of the North. In many cases, Lincoln did not even appear as a choice due to being a free-lander, later abolitionist, and was not able to get many votes from the South. However, it is important to note that the North had more electorate votes per state as there were more people living in Northern states, thereby giving Lincoln the edge.

the duel between aaron burr and alexander hamilton was the result of a business failure between them. a dispute over a woman. Ha
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

D) Burr's belief that Hamilton had slandered him.

Explanation:

The Burr-Hamilton duel is one of the most famous personal conflicts in American history. It was a gunfight that grew out of the long-standing personal animosity that developed between the two men over several years. Tension increased with Hamilton's journalistic defamation of Burr's character during the 1804 New York gubernatorial race in which Burr was a candidate.

The duel was fought in Weehawken, New Jersey, between Vice President Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton, the former Secretary of the Treasury. It occurred on July 11, 1804, and was the culmination of a long and bitter rivalry between the two men. Vice President Burr shot Hamilton, while Hamilton's shot broke a branch of a tree directly over Burr's head. Hamilton died the next day.

What information was revealed in the Pentagon Papers? (Vietnam War)
aivan3 [116]

Answer:  C. the lies of American leaders about involvement in Vietnam.

Explanation:

Daniel Ellsberg was the military analyst who leaked "The Pentagon Papers" to the American press in 1971, revealing top secret information about US planning and decision-making in regard to the Vietnam War.  

The Vietnam War had a major impact in shifting public opinion toward distrust of government.  During the Vietnam War, a major credibility gap  became apparent in regard to what the government was telling the American public vs. what was actually taking place.  The term "credibility gap" was used by journalists who questioned the optimistic picture that the Lyndon Johnson administration painted regarding how the war was going, when investigative reporting showed a much more negative reality.

The credibility gap grew especially apparent when the Pentagon Papers (classified documents) were leaked to the press in 1971, showing that the government indeed had been deceiving the public about the plans and conduct of the war over the years.
