History

Mashcka [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Keep this little phrase in mind: <u>gold, glory, and God.</u> In that order. The reason the Catholic monarchs Isabella and Ferdinand sponsored Columbus was

  • <u>gold.</u> They wanted to get rich off of gold, which would enable them to increase their wealth and trading power as per the economic system of mercantilism.
  • <u>glory.</u> They wanted their names to be famous. Two of the islands that Columbus saw were named after the two rulers (Isabela Island and Fernandina).
  • <u>God.</u> They were highly Catholic (remember the Spanish Inquisition?) and they wanted to spread that, in theory, to the primitive natives.

Give the advantges and disadvantges of nationalism and military preparedenss
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Nationalism advantages - promotes sense of national identity, unifies people

Nationalism disadvantages - conflicts with views of others, diminishes rights of others

Military preparedness advantages - deters/defeats hostile aggression, gives people a sense of safety

Military preparedness disadvantages - seen as threatening, could cause a war draft

Explanation:

Nationalism is basically when a country unifies for a common goal. It could be through use of symbols, too. For example, everyday in school we stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance together. However, sometimes a country can discriminate against a group of ethnic people if the majority doesn't like them.

Military preparedness is as the name says: being ready for war and having a strong military. These are good things and can make people feel safe. However, a potentially opposing country could see this as a challenge which is could be a cause of war.
