Who actually discovered America?

History
1 answer:
makkiz [27]3 years ago

The voyages of Christopher Columbus led to the first lasting European contact with the Americas, inaugurating a period of European exploration, conquest, and colonization that lasted for several centuries. Columbus was not the first European explorer to reach the Americas having been preceded by the Norse expedition led by Leif Erikson in the 11th century. Leif Erikson was an Icelandic explorer considered by some as the first European to land in North America (excluding Greenland), before Columbus. There is much debate as some say that many different people, spanning centuries, set foot on the New World (as the Americas were called) before Columbus, and, of course, the ancestors of the Native Americans had already discovered it many years before.

If you are talking about them trying to expand in to present-day Canada, then it brought renewed conflict with Britain (war of 1812)
if it is towards the west, i guess it hampered technological development, because most people were moving west through the trails, instead of staying to help build up the economy

Answer: the Spanish government.

Explanation:

Around the time when the USS Maine was sunk in 1898, there had been tension between the United States and Spain and the sinking only made this tension many times worse.

The USS Maine was sunk while it was at the Havana harbor in Cuba which was under the authority of the Spanish Government at the time.

Galvanised by the Yellow Journalism of the U.S. Press at the time, many Americans believed that it was the Spanish Government that ordered the sinking.

Which speaker statement best expresses the reason that many United States senator rejected the treaty of Versailles after world
zzz [600]

After World War I the Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles which was mainly based on the idea that the Treaty would require the United States to join the League of Nations and may have resulted to a loss of the United States sovereignty. The treaty would also force the United States to get involved in issues that were of less relevance to the U.S. The League of Nations was created as a body to prevent future conflicts by establishing a body to settle disputes between nations and authorize action against the Nation that did not comply. Some Senate members wanted to change the Versailles Treaty, i.e., Henry Cabot Lodge but president Wilson dismissed and disliked his suggestions.
