How did mercantilism increase the likelihood of conflicts between European powers

History
1 answer:
USPshnik [31]4 years ago
5 0

Competition over wealth and resources--under the theory of mercantilism it was believed there was a limited amount of wealth in the world and power was given to the country that held the most wealth.


 Power and wealth are connected under the mercantilism theory. If there is only so much wealth in the world and a country must hold the most wealth to have the most power, then countries would be willing to fight each other for wealth. During the late 15th and early 15th centuries, this theory drove European countries to create colonies and trade connections with Asian Empires. In doing this they believed they were gaining power through the wealth of land and resources.

What was impressive about inca masonary
Paraphin [41]

Incan architecture is the most significant pre-Columbian architecture in South America. The Incas inherited an architectural legacy from Tiwanaku, founded in the 2nd century B.C.E. in present-day Bolivia. A core characteristic of the architectural style was to use the topography and existing materials of the land as part of the design.[1] The capital of the Inca empire, Cuzco, still contains many fine examples of Inca architecture, although many walls of Inca masonry have been incorporated into Spanish Colonial structures. The famous royal estate of Machu Picchu (Machu Pikchu) is a surviving example of Inca architecture. Other significant sites include Sacsayhuamán and Ollantaytambo. The Incas also developed an extensive road system spanning most of the western length of the continent and placed their distinctive architecture along the way, thereby visually asserting their imperial rule along the frontier.

Why did many Americans fear Communism?
Assoli18 [71]

They were scared of how rapidly it was spreading. It had taken control of some strong powers which the Americans feared could lead to a war. It lead to the cold war which isn't a physical war but it was a very frightening. Both sides had control over hundreds of nuclear warheads, so yea, we peed our pants.  All it took was a simple remark to mark the end of humanity.  It went a little like this;

Communist: Say I wont press the button.

Us: You wont.

Coms: WHAT??? *Reaches for button*

US: NO I WAS JOKING! WE WILL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!

Coms: Keep talking...


And that pretty much what happened. The communist were strong back then, who knows what there capable of in the future.

Hope I helped. :)
