What were the major causes of the age of exploration?

pickupchik [31]

Trade, obtaining wealth, and territorial expansion.

Explanation:

The age of exploration started in the 15th century. The main reason for this was the Ottoman Empire which stood on the way of trade between Europe and Asia, was very restrictive and demanded high taxes. The Europeans didn't fancied this and they started to look for other ways to Asia, which led to discovering sea routes that were safe, but also discovering new lands.

Once the new lands were discovered the interest in exploration skyrocketed. Every country wanted to become rich and get as much wealth as possible, and there were some promising signs that the new lands have much to offer. That also led to aspirations for territorial expansion and controlling as much land as possible, most because of economic goals.

1.1.5 Oute: Constructing Arguments

timurjin [86]

Answer:

The most convincing argument to support this cause is scientific. Teenagers have a natural tendency to stay awake until late at night because their brains secrete melatonin (the hormone that regulates the wake-sleep cycle) later than when they were children.

Forcing teenagers to be awake early in the morning, and start school at 7:10 am does not mean that they will go to bed early at night. In fact, the opposite happens: they still go to sleep late at night as their bodies dictate, but now they wake up too early without having slept enough. The schoolday becomes a chore because they are tired.

How has the Mexican government historically treated indigenous peoples?

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Dont worry it is in my own words, so no plagiarism unless you need to cite then comment.

Explanation:

Indigenous culture is known as the centre of Mexican society. Mexico is proud of its ancient Maya and Aztec temples and its indigenous dances, crafts and markets, which make a major contribution to the tourist attractiveness of the region. Successive governments have professed a willingness to incorporate indigenous people into Mexican society since the 1910-20 revolution. Formed in 1946 under the Ministry of Education, the Autonomous Department of Native Affairs started a programme to teach indigenous children Spanish. The negative outcome of these projects, however, has been the promotion of an assimilation paradigm for indigenous peoples, which has devalued indigenous languages, cultures and autonomy.

Officially, the indigenous peoples of Mexico are protected by human rights law. In order to promote dialogue with indigenous groups, the government's National Indigenous Institute has offices around the country, and government statements are careful to consider the principle of cultural diversity. Nevertheless, there have been claims that the institute is patronizing in its approach towards indigenous people and merely a token initiative of the government, while its workers have also been vigorous supporters of indigenous peoples and have even been persecuted as a result.

The Mexican government founded the National Commission of Human Rights in 1990 in an attempt to protect people from human rights violations, receiving reports of abuses at the federal and state levels. This department, however, has been criticized for failing to take on cases of grievous violations of rights, causing many indigenous leaders and advocates of rights to doubt its legitimacy. However, the Commission produces reports and publications that draw attention to the human rights record of Mexico. International Labor Organization (ILO) Convention No. 169 of 1989 on the rights of indigenous and aboriginal peoples has also been ratified by the government, although it is claimed that constitutional amendments have eroded the rights to land guaranteed under the Convention.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Viking Motivations
Scandinavia was very cold and made agriculture difficult. It was also becoming very overcrowded. Monks on the English island of Lindisfarne are surprised by violent raiders from the sea. This is the first record of Viking raids. Viking migrated from Scandinavia in the Summer to look for resources.
Polynesian Motivation
Scientists estimate that the sweet potato was introduced to Polynesia by 700 CE which supports theories that they had traded with South America. Polynesians wanted to explore and trade to get resources that they didn't have on their islands.
Viking Techniques
Vikings had really long, strong ships made of oak that contained one mast and a square sail. They were often called "dragon" ships because they often had carved dragons protruding from the ends. In 836, a fleet of possibly 35 Viking ships invade Devon which is in England.
Polynesian techniques
The Polynesians used deep-sea voyaging canoes and oral sailing traditions such as songs about stars for navigation. A Polynesian canoe was found that had been buried in mud when a tsunami hit the island of Huahine near Tahiti somewhere between 850 and 1100.
Polynesian Extent of Exploration
By 1,000 CE, the Polynesians had already reached South America and returned. The Polynesians reached places as far as modern California, as evidenced by fish hooks.
Viking Extent of Migration
In 1,001 it is believed that Leif Erikkson reached the American coast. The Vikings are said to have reached North America about 500 years before anyone else.
Reasons for end of Polynesian Migration
The Polynesians stopped going and coming back, instead, they started settling in places like Hawaii, which was settled 1000 and 1300. The Polynesians' last stop in the Pacific was in the Cahtham Islands in 1300
793
Reason for Vikings End of Migration
The Vikings slowly became integrated with European cultures and Scandinavian countries were converted to Christianity. Many European coastal cities became more fortified and were better equipped to protect themselves aganist Viking raids. A common marker for the end of the "Viking Era" is 1006, which is the year of the last major Viking incursion into Europe. It was the Battle of Stamford Bridge where the Norwegian King Haraldr attempted to reclaim a portion of England and lost.
