The Crusades were very important to develop trade in Europe. The Crusaders went from Europe to the Middle East and came in contact with other cultures and people. With that, Europeans were able to learn things from the Arabs such as mathematics and the numeral system. Also, they tasted new food and goods which they brought back to Europe and people started to taste and demand.

This eventually made possible for trade to be consistent between both regions which also helped to develop a currency system that enabled trade.

Marco Polo was the first European to reach China and he wrote a book that made possible for others to want to visit the lands and start trading with Asian countries that had several goods and products to trade with Europe. Marco Polo was also very important for cartography that helped the European voyages of exploration later, he never drew a map himself but his notes made the drawing possible later, which eventually helped European Countries to trade with Asia and even with the Americas.

Marco Polo found a new trade route (possibly several) that expanded trade in Europe.

How did the end of the war affect the U.S. economy?

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

America's involvement in World War II had a significant impact on the economy and workforce of the United States. The United States was still recovering from the impact of the Great Depression and the unemployment rate was hovering around 25%. Our involvement in the war soon changed that rate. American factories were retooled to produce goods to support the war effort and almost overnight the unemployment rate dropped to around 10%. As more men were sent away to fight, women were hired to take over their positions on the assembly lines. Before World War II, women had generally been discouraged from working outside the home. Now, they were being encouraged to take over jobs that had been traditionally considered 'men's work.'

What was the main reason the Philadelphia convention rejected Hamilton’s plans

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is 3) The plan resembled the British system of government

Explanation:

The Philadelphia Convention is seen as one of the most important events in US history. By the end of the convention, all 13 colonies had agreed to a Constitution that would set the basis for the young country.

However, the convention is a long process with delegates from all over the country presenting their own vision and plans for how the country should run.

Alexander Hamilton's plan was based on a strong federal government and a lower and upper house. Lower house would be elected directly by the people, while the upper house would be composed of officials chosen by the elected members.

The plan was quickly dubbed as the "British Plan'' since it closely resembled the governance system of Great Britain. It was soon rejected by the convention on these basis.
