History

The Silk Road was a historical route for trade on which the goods from China (silk) and India (spices) were brought to Europe and sold. This route was providing good work and revenue for the merchants, but when it was closed (due to political changes on its route), the people searched for new ways of obtaining goods from India and China - and those new ways were what triggered the exploration - the hope for finding a new way to India and China.

<span>If the Portuguese could not trade by land, they wanted to find an alternative route to Asia - WATER! Therefore, that's when the Exploration Age began. The Portuguese wanted to discover a water route to India and the West Indies to trade for spices. You will see that explorers like Vasco da Gama and Bartolomeu Dias were famous navigators that attempted to do that.</span>

How can you use this Document E to argue that Alexander was great? *
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Alexander was “great” because he easily conquered a lot of land and established prominent societies, like Alexandria.

Alexander wasn’t “great” because he was egotistical in naming a city after him and conquering land just for greed.

Alexander was “great” because he was smart enough to cross the river and use Porus’ own elephants against him.

Alexander was not “great” because he tricked a ruler and killed many men in war only because he was greedy and wanted more land.

Alexander was most likely very religious, and it seems that in Ancient Greek anyone seeking refuge in a temple should be shown mercy. Also, if Alexander had killed everyone in the city than there would have been no point in conquering the city except for land.

"Martin Luther's criticism of the Roman Catholic church was greatly aided by
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

A) the printing press.

This question wants to know the <u>tool Luther used to spread his ideas. </u>

Explanation:

Martin Luther began to criticize<u> the sale of indulgences by the Pope</u> when he nailed his 95 theses in the Wittenburg Cathedral. There he started his fight. Anyway, after this action, <u>he began to share his ideas through Germany, writing texts and exposing arguments (speaking or writing). </u>Luther used the printing press <u>to produce copies of his material faster and spread across the country. If he didn't use this tool, his reformation would delay establishing an audience,</u> not only in Germany but in the rest of Europe.
