What was one reason spain sponsored the first voyage of columbus to the west

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Keep this little phrase in mind: gold, glory, and God. In that order. The reason the Catholic monarchs Isabella and Ferdinand sponsored Columbus was

gold. They wanted to get rich off of gold, which would enable them to increase their wealth and trading power as per the economic system of mercantilism.
glory. They wanted their names to be famous. Two of the islands that Columbus saw were named after the two rulers (Isabela Island and Fernandina).
God. They were highly Catholic (remember the Spanish Inquisition?) and they wanted to spread that, in theory, to the primitive natives.

Aristotle and Plato promote the idea of political system and ethical values that later on develop into a democratic system of government that is used by most countries today.

Socrates on the other hand, believe that democracies had a lot of flaw and only a handful of selected people should be able to make the decision for the society, which is what adopted by countris with absolute monarchies.

What was a major reason for the U.S. Senate's failure to ratify the Treaty of Versailles?

tamaranim1 [39]

The major reason for the U.S. Senate's failure to ratify the Treaty of Versailles is they objected to the League of Nations, fearing that it would supersede U.S. authority.

Explanation:

"Treaty of Versailles" was signed on 28th June 1919 between Germany and Allied powers to end the war. Treaty of Versailles is the most important agreement that brought World War 1 to end.

Treaty of Versailles failed, as the Allies disagreed to better treat Germany and on the other hand Germany refused to accept the terms of reparations.

U.S. Senate thought that League of Nations would supersede U.S. authority. This led to failure in ratifying Treaty of Versailles.
