Why did Spain explore the New World?

History

sergejj [24]3 years ago

Spain did not immediately realize that the New World was in fact a new continent. Columbus himself died without ever knowing that the land he had arrived to was not India.

However, when Spain realized that this land was completely undiscovered, they decided to explore it. This was motivated by several reasons. On the one hand, they were curious to see what the territory was like. On the other hand, they were also motivated by the possibility of owning such a vast territory and the resources located in it. Finally, they were motivated by the idea of turning the Native American people they encountered into Christians, thus achieving their salvation.

Eva8 [605]

The correct answer is the following.

<em>Peter the Great of Russia modernized some areas of Russian life.  He reformed the Church, Education, and the Economy.</em>

One important institution that he reformed was the Church. Previously, Church had been autonomous. Peter reformed Church and was directly connected to him and the government of Russia. The Russian Church was wealthy and Peter wanted to control that wealth. Another reform was in Education.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The Quakers rejected slavery on the grounds that it contradicted the Christian concept of brotherhood.

Explanation:

The Quakers are a religious movement that originated among Christian English dissenters in the mid-17th century. At the end of the 1600s, many Quaker immigrants emigrated to North America, where William Penn founded Pennsylvania.

Quakers imagine that there is something of God within every human being, which, like an inner light, can guide one. The movement emphasizes that each person must find his or her own way to God, that God exists within every human being, and that the personal experience of God is the only guidance a human can have. Therefore, as God lived in every human, even in African-Americans, men were all equal and as a consequence brothers under God. This religious view, therefore, made them reject slavery during the 19th Century.
