How did the desire for trade with asia encourage the exploration of the america

History
1 answer:
iragen [17]3 years ago
5 0
Since the Asians prided themselves on being self sufficient, the Europeans didn't have anything to trade with them. However, they wanted Asian goods, because they didn't know how to produce things like silk and tea in Europe. Therefore, they went off to explore the Americas to find new products. Obviously, the Asians didn't have American goods yet, so the Europeans wanted to go over there and get them so that way they would have something the Asians desired. One of the biggest discoveries in America were the silver mines, such as Potosi. China especially put a high value on silver, since they used it for their coins. Once the Europeans acquired this silver, China was willing to trade with them.

Use the chart to answer the question. Which battle was a British victory?
Nataly [62]

The correct answer is A. The battle of the list that resulted into a British victory was the Battle of Brandywine.

The Battle of Brandywine was one of the battles of the American War of Independence that ended with a victory of the British troops. This clash was fought during the Philadelphia campaign (1777-1778).

The British forces disembarked the first week of September 1777. On September 11 the Continental Army tried to block its advance near the Brandywine River, near today's town of Chadds Ford. The English attack was carried on two columns commanded by the generals Von Knyphausen and Cornwallis. Washington and General Greene managed to break the encirclement while a small rearguard commanded by La Fayette was responsible for covering the retreat. The US casualties were, among dead and wounded, about 700 men.

4 ways Christianity spread in Roman Empire
Mashutka [201]
The spread of Christianity was made a lot easier by the efficiency of the Roman Empire, but its principles were sometimes misunderstood and membership of the sect could be dangerous.

Although Jesus had died, his message had not. Word of his teachings spread to Jewish communities across the empire. This was helped by energetic apostles, such as Paul and by the modern communications of the Roman Empire.

Spreading the word

Over 30 years, Paul clocked up around 10,000 miles, traveling across the Roman Empire. He preached in some of the empire’s most important cities. Although places like Ephesus, Philippi, Corinth and Athens looked magnificent, they were also home to tens of thousands of poor, desperate people who were the perfect audience for the Christian message of eternal life.

Like Jesus, Paul spoke to people in their homes and synagogues. But he went beyond Jesus, who had only preached to Jews. Paul believed his message should also be taken to gentiles – the non-Jews.

Relaxing the rules

This meant taking a more relaxed approach to ancient Jewish laws about food and circumcision. It was a slap in the face for Jewish tradition, but it was also the central reason for the rapid spread of Christianity.

As the Christian movement began to accept non-Jewish members, it moved further away from the strict rules imposed on Jews. In so doing, it gradually became a new and separate religion.

An easy target

Despite its growing popularity, Christianity was sometimes misunderstood and membership could bring enormous risks. Widely criticized after the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD, the Emperor Nero tried to divert attention away from his own failings by providing an easy scapegoat: the Christians.

Although the followers of Jesus were working hard to spread the message, there were still very few Christians in Rome. They were regarded with suspicion. Some important Christian rituals were mistaken as cannibalism, others as incest. Christians became an easy target.

Nero wasted no time. He arrested and tortured all the Christians in Rome, before executing them with lavish publicity. Some were crucified, some were thrown to wild animals and others were burned alive as living torches.

Despite this, Nero's persecution of the new Christian sect was brief and, in the first century at least, was not repeated in other parts of the empire. When asked by Pliny the Younger how to deal with Christians in the Asian provinces, Trajan replied that they should not be actively pursued. However, they could be punished if they were publicly criticized and refused to abandon their beliefs.

Over time, the Christian church and faith grew more organized. In 313 AD, the Emperor Constantine issued the Edict of Milan, which accepted Christianity: 10 years later, it had become the official religion of the Roman Empire.
