Answer:

This is false.

Explanation:

North America was in fact inhabited before Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492. Five hundred years before Columbus, a band of Vikings led by Leif Eriksson set foot in North America and established a settlement. Also, long before that, some scholars believe, the Americas seem to have been visited by  travelers from China, and perhaps by visitors from Africa and maybe even Ice Age Europe.

In what two ways did the crusades contribute to the spread of renaissance ideas throughout Europe
Elis [28]

The Crusades were initiated by the Catholic Church in order to gain control of Jerusalem again, as it has fallen into the hands of the Muslims. While the Catholic Church had its goals in conquering Jerusalem, including wealth and power, it didn't foresee that the organizing of the Crusades its going to actually backfire on it and make the biggest blow to it.

The Crusades themselves had mixed outcome, sometimes winning, sometimes losing. What had much greater effect was that the Crusaders managed to bring in Europe lot of things from Asia which turned out to change the course of the history.

Because the Crusaders were in constant contact with the Muslims, they brought in numerous technological advancement in Europe. Also, through them, some of the ancient literature from Greece and Rome came back to Europe.

This prompted a huge interest among the people, especially the ones higher in the hierarchy, as they saw the potential of the new technology, but also the potential for the future based on the ancient literature. The end result was technological boom in Europe, loss of power by the Catholic Church, the Age of Discoveries, or all put in one, the Renaissance.
