Answer:

A cartographer is a specialist who makes maps.  They have the skills to help navigators explore uncharted territories and they help imperial powers to maintain control and to lay claim to an area like the New World

Explanation:

A cartographer is a specialist at designing and drawing maps. Cartographers still exist today and they use modern technologies to help them produce very accurate and detailed maps, but cartographers were especially important during the times before aerial photographs and satellite photos because they were skilled at understanding topography and the particular details along coastlines and rivers to help explorers navigate new areas. Cartography was essential in the creation of the early maps of the Americas. The Spanish and explorers from other European nations would use the knowledge of the local people to help fill out their maps and to chart the unknown, but over time the maps evolved and gained more of their own interpretations and claims to the landscape.  This was how the Spanish Crown was able to claim a monopoly over vast stretches of the Americas for centuries.

How did slave trade lead to colonization of Africa?
fredd [130]

Answer:

Dear eriabn

Answer to your query is provided below

Slave trade was a trade of slaves from Africa. It was between three countries, Africa ,France and America. Slaves were bought from Africa and then packed in ships for three months and later on sold to the plantation owners on the port of baundeax in France. Others were sold in America.

Explanation:

Slavery refers to a system whereby people were ill treated and forced to hard work.

The Europeans were reluctant to go and work in distant and unfamiliar lands meant a shortage of labour on the plantations. So this was met by a triangular slave trade between Europe, Africa and the Americas. The slave trade began in the seventeenth century. French merchants sailed from the ports of Bordeaux or Nantes to the African coast, where they bought slaves from local chieftains. Branded and shackled, the slaves were packed tightly into ships for the three-month long voyage across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. There they were sold to plantation owners. The exploitation of slave labour made it possible to meet the growing demand in European markets for sugar, coffee, and indigo. Port cities like Bordeaux and Nantes owed their economic prosperity to the flourishing slave trade.
