Answer:

Explanation: The control of the Gulf of Mexico was important for Spain because it was a vast area of deposits of different minerals, (especially silver), and a fruitful agricultural region. For this reason, Spain intended to establish colonizations on the northern coast of the gulf in order to provide protection to merchant and expeditionary vessels and also quickly rescue the shipwrecked.

The great wall served largely as a first line of defense and warning and was not seen as an impenetrable barrier. What is there

kumpel [21]

The famous Great Wall of China is considered to be the first line of defense and warning and was not even seen as an impenetrable barrier to those nomadic invaders and tribes. The view of the Great Wall was a vast plain of northern China that extends more than 300,000 sq. kilometers to the south.

Moreover, the region was comprised of coastal lowlands, Piedmont tablelands, highlands prairies and enormous mountains extending approximately 3170 miles from east to west. With this massive land mass and wide variations in climate and environmental factors such as unpredictable water currents in rivers, steppes, desert lands and impenetrable ridges, it was truly a first line of defense of China.
