Answer:

The correct answer is (D)

Explanation:

Peter the Great was the Tsar of Russia between 1682 and 1725. He sought to transform Russia into a great European power, and sucessfully expanded the territory of the Russian Empire through a series of wars against its neighbors.

Worried for what he deemed to be the backwardness of his country, he also launched a modernization program, aiming to Europeanize Russia. He adopted European clothing styles, customs, and manners, and reformed the country's administrative systems such as the Duma and other consultative bodies following European models. He founded the city of St. Petersburg on the shores of the Baltic Sea, and modelled it after other Europeans capitals, with the city becoming Russia's window into Europe. As part of his modernizing drives, he adopted mercantilist policies to stimulate growth of the economy, in the same vein other Europeans power had done during that time. Peter the Great hoped to improve agriculture by adopting modern practices and to develop a domestic industry. However, due to Russia's economic backwardness and huge size, the mercantilist policies weren't as successful as expected and Russia remained a primarily feudal agricultural state.

While he felt short of his goal of fully Europeanizing Russia, Peter the Great's policies had a huge impact on Russia, transforming it into a major European power.

Males are about ________ times more likely to be late talkers than females.

klio [65]

2-3 times - Statistics show that Boys usually tend to start talking later than girls and develop language slower than girls too. For example, at 16 months age, girls can produce up to 100 words, while boys struggle to produce even 30 words. This is because boys tend to prefer non-communicative play, like playing with cars, while girls love to imitate behaviors, sounds and expressions. They also have better sensitivity to human voices and prefer it to other sounds.

Explain how the Spanish and Native Americans viewed each other and how this first impression affected their future relationship.

mina [271]

Answer:

The Spanish attitude toward the Indians was that they saw themselves as guardians of the Indians basic rights. The Spanish goal was for the peaceful submission of the Indians.First impressions are said to be lasting impressions, and indeed, it is remarkable how soon the New World "that was never before known to anyone" was viewed as a land of wealth, promise, and opportunity. So we begin with three of the earliest European explorers to North America (after the Norse whose settlements in Greenland died out in the 1300s) and the impressions conveyed to their monarchs, financiers, and soon, due to the printing press, the peoples of Europe:

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS (Cristoforo Colombo), an Italian sailing for Spain, who explored the Caribbean islands in four voyages from 1492 to 1504, and who insisted to the end that he had landed in or near Asia

[Columbus, Letter to Luis de Sant Angel, Treasurer of Aragon, 1493]

JOHN CABOT (Giovanni Caboto), an Italian sailing for England, who in 1497 explored the northeast coast of North America in the region of Newfoundland, and was certain he had reached northeast Asia

[Letter from Lorenzo Pasqualigo to his brothers, August 1497; Raimondo di Soncino to the Duke of Milan, first and second despatches, 1497]

GASPAR CORTE REAL, a Portuguese sailing for Portugal, who explored the same region as Cabot in 1500 and 1501, failing to find a northwest passage and losing his life in the search.

[Pietro Pasqualigo, Letter to his brothers, 1501]

All three expeditions were financed by European monarchs to find a westward route to Asia or, later, to find a route around the obtrusive land mass to reach Asia. All claimed land and future riches for their monarchs. All returned with artifacts of the new land, and two returned with captured Indians. For Columbus we have the explorer's first-hand reports, but for Cabot and Corte Real we rely on second-hand accounts, the only documentation that survives. The three maps reveal how the western hemisphere evolved visually in the European mind, reflecting fact and faith alike. Explore these documents for the Europeans' first impressions, and yours.
