Columbus' major error about the size of the planet was that he thought it was smaller.

Explanation:

Columbus created a plan in the early 1480s which involved a sailing expedition west towards China. However, he needed funding from the Portugese Kingdom for such an expedition. There was lot of debate about the size of the Earth between Columbus and the Portugese.

According to him, the Earth's circumference was on an average, 18,000 miles.

However, the real circumference was 24,901 miles.

Columbus's major misconception was that it was a very small distance between the two ends (East and West) of the Eurasian landmass. By assuming this, he also ended up shrinking the size of the Earth in his calculations.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

c. Sent many Japanese abroad to be educated in the ways of the west and adopted many western reforms in political and military organization.

Explanation:

The Meiji Reformation was a time in the history of Japan that brought the biggest change in the nation's political as well as military scene. This period of change made Japan into a modern nation-state.

This period began in 1868 after the emperor adopted the Charter Oath that gave him the power to make changes to the nation. Japan had seen and observed that the most powerful nation, China, had been defeated by the Western powers. And so, Japan decided that it must try to be the same as western nations if she is to be safe from any attacks. This was what primarily led to the Meiji Restoration.

Japan then began welcoming western technology and merchants into the nation. The scholars and government began adopting western methods, including the many reforms regarding the military as well as political spheres. According to Japan, the only way to defeat western power is to be like them, equal to them in every form.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
