Answer:

The fall of Constantinopole, the old capital of the Christian Byzantine Empire, in Turkish hands in 1453 , cut the traditional routes of commerce used by European merchants to trade with Asia. This spurred naval and geographical exploration by Europeans. Portugal was one of the most active and daring naval powers of those times. Portuguese sailors and adventurers ventured farther south along African coasts. In 1498, Portuguese Vasco da Gama reached India after having sorrounded Africa, opening new trade routes. It was a major achievement of the Age of Exploration.

What was the difference in electoral counts between George w Bush and al gore during the 200 presidential campaign

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

In the national popular vote, Gore received 48.4 percent while Bush received 47.9, losing by over 540,000 votes. U.S. presidents, however, are chosen by the Electoral College, a system in which “electoral votes” are assigned to states based on their population and then awarded as a lump sum to the winner of the popular vote in that state – currently, it takes 270 electoral votes to win. By the end of Election Night, 2000, Gore’s tally stood at 250 and Bush’s stood at 246 with Oregon, Wisconsin and Florida too close to call.

How did congressional neutrality towards slavery in the federal territories actually stir up sectional strife

dusya [7]

Answer:

The neutrality of the congress generated polarization in the country. This polarization caused states where slavery was prohibited to criticize and devalue states where slavery was allowed, which retaliated against devaluation with further devaluation.

Explanation:

When Congress decided to stay neutral in relation to slavery in the country, Congressmen believed that this would generate peace in the country, as each state would have autonomy to decide whether it wanted to use slaves or not.

However, the result could not have been more different. Neutrality generated polarization and many conflicts between countries that allowed slaves and prohibited slaves. Countries that did not allow slavery criticized, devalued and tried to interfere with the autonomy of the states that allowed slavery. The slaves who allowed slavery did not tolerate this interference and retaliated as best they could, in addition to promoting a strong devaluation in relation to free countries.
