In the 1700s, James Watt caused a revolution in transportation<em> by improving steam engine technology.</em>
He was a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer. He made improvements on Thomas Newcomen's steam engine that was patented in 1698 and widely in use at the time of Watt's birth ( 1736).
It all started when Watt was given a model Newcomen engine to repair. He realized it was very inefficient and he began to find ways to improve its performance. He designed a separating condensing chamber for the engine to avoid huge losses of steam. He patented his improvements in 1769.
A unit of measurement of electrical and mechanical power -<em> the watt</em> - is named in his honor.
Letter D would be correct.
The beginning of the European colonization of Southeast Asia occurred along the 16th and 17th Centuries and was marked by a heavy dispute between the great marine traders. The firsts to arrive were the Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish, followed by the French and British spice traders. They all soon engaged in eliminating each other through acquiring strategic locations and production centers. Later on, along the 17th and 18th centuries, they focused on dominating ports along the maritime routes, what also allowed them to levy taxes and control prices of the Asian commodities under their control.
