What did the Europeans hope to gain by finding a sea route to Asia?

History

The main drive to find a route via sea was to avoid the silk road that was going through Asia (which was infested by bandits whom required a bribe to get passed). They wanted to trade with the Asians so that they could continue to enjoy their spice, silk, and get rich.

Overall they found a sea route because it was much safer and less expensive means of getting goods to and from Asia.

Hope it was helpful!

How did WWII impact African Americans at home?
frez [133]

African-Americans were welcomed into certain branches of the armed forces in this war, but, like other wars, there was discrimination and segregation.  Soldiers still fought in segregated units throughout the war, but there were advances in the number of commissioned officers.  Other forms of racism included barring African-Americans from the Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Army Air Corps, and the Navy only allowed African-Americans as mess men.  These conditions were not promising, and these policies have been called “Jim Crow military”.  Some changes were made with the 1940 Selective Service Training Act which stated that all men between 18 and 36, regardless of race, were eligible to volunteer in naval and ground forces without fear of discrimination.  It also prohibited racial and/or color discrimination in selection and training of military personnel.  This act attempted to change the makeup of the military, but it did not address the underlying issues present such as stereotypes and racism.

African-American soldiers noted the irony and hypocrisy of fighting for freedom and democracy in Europe when they could not enjoy those same privileges in their own country.  This sentiment led to the Double V campaign which worked to end discrimination at home and ensure democracy abroad.  At home this movement was maintained by discrimination in the defense industries and labor unions; racist housing practices were also noted and attempts to change these were part of the Double V campaign.  African-American rights were directly tied to European emancipation.

What happened during the Persian Wars?
Naily [24]

The Persian wars also known as "Greco-Persian wars" were fought between the Persian empire and the Greek city-states from 499 to 479 B.C. which took place in Greece and Asia Minor. Basically what happened was the expansion of the Persian Empire under the rule of Darius from the Middle east to Africa, South East Asia and Asia Minor. Next step was invading Greece.

There were two mainland invasions of Greece, in 490 (under King Darius) and 480-479 B.C. (under King Xerxes). The Persian Wars ended with the Peace of Callias of 449, but by this time, and as a result of actions taken in Persian War battles, Athens had developed her own empire. Conflict mounted between the Athenians and the allies of Sparta. This conflict would lead to the Peloponnesian War during which the Persians opened their deep pockets to the Spartans. Greece finally won the war.
