What factors caused European nations to explore the Western Hemisphere and establish colonies

History
1 answer:
Furkat [3]3 years ago
4 0
Fall of Constantinople in 1453. The Turks wanted to impose a tariff on the European cargo ships (something that the Byzantines did not do). Trying to avoid that, the Europeans sailed the other way around, thinking there was just an empty ocean between Europe and Asia. Once they found land, they thought they reached India, but when it became clear that it was a new land, the opportunity to expand empires was there. Of course, there were different motives and strategies to establish them, though not always in the nicest of ways.

This is an excerpt from Secretary of State Marshall’s speech explaining his plan for European recovery,
givi [52]

Secretary of State Marshall suggested his plan to help rebuild European economies after World War as a way of staving off political instability and poverty conditions, which would become breeding grounds for governments that would go against freedom.

Explanation/context:

The "Marshall Plan" was named after the man who then was US Secretary of State, George C. Marshall.  Officially the plan was called the European Recovery Program.  Marshall announced the plan in 1947, and it went into effect in 1948.  The intent was to provide aid and rebuilding to European economies after the damaging effects of World War II.  

In his speech introducing the plan, Secretary Marshall presented the plan as aid for any and all nations, saying :  "Our policy is not directed against any country, but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Any government that is willing to assist in recovery will find full co-operation on the part of the United States. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist."  <em>[I provided more context for the quote you had shown, to see more of his intent in the remarks.]</em>

The view in the communist-controlled Eastern bloc was that the US was trying to use such a policy to spread its influence and threaten their patterns of government under communism.  So the plan ended up building allies for the US in Western Europe, while the Eastern European countries sided with the Soviet Union.  So it was an example of Cold War tactics of competition between the US and the USSR, apart from the use of military force.

Which two strategies helped the amphibious invasion force be successful?​
kramer

The two strategies are Arrange the beaches for the Allied soldiers and ways to stop the withdrawal in Germany

<u>Explanation: </u>

The impact of D-Day echoes in history:

  • It's the biggest military attack ever. The German forces encountered cold weather as they assaulted the coast of Normandy with raging German fire. The Allies won the war, despite the difficult odds and high losses, and turned the tide of World War II towards victory over Hitler.
  • On D-Day, the strategy was to clear the beaches for entries of the allies by heavily attacking Nazi weapons on the coast and damaging the major bridges and roads to shut down the withdrawal and strengthening’s of Germany. In order to protect the coastal areas before the military invasion the parachutists would then fall down.

Nevertheless, almost none went according to plan.
