Answer:

The brief war fought against the Spanish Navy and land forces in 1898 established the United States as a global, major navy and military power.

The war was fought in Cuba - the Caribbean - and in the Pacific. If a century before American governments were not willing to join wars among European powers and pursued a cautious diplomacy, full industrialization, territorial expansion and a fantastic growth of economic might made the United States a player in world affairs to be reckoned with a century later. That´s why the Spanish-American war is a turning point in American history: the US would play a large role in world affairs from that moment on.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

He helped created modern astronomy.

Explanation:

In early 1610, he made the first in a remarkable series of discoveries. While the scientific doctrine of the day held that space was perfect, unchanging environments created by God, Galileo's telescope helped change that view. He used the telescope to revolutionise astronomy which had relied for millennia on observations and measurements made with the naked eye.

Mariulka [41]

The population of native Latin Americans decreased during the age of exploration and with colonization because of the diseases that conquistadors and colonizers brought that Latin Americans did not have any previous exposure to (no immunity so died from the diseases). The colonizors had used native populations for labor so when they died, they needed a new form of labor. They brought Africans to latin america and enslaved them for their labor. This bringing of slaves over created the transatlantic slave trade (depicted in the pictures, transatlantic bc they were shipping over the atlantic ocean) and also created the diaspora of african culture and religions to latin america (this is found most in the carribean).
