Did Queen Isabella and Columbus have the same goals in mind?

History
1 answer:
algol [13]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

While in general terms Columbus and Isabella shared a common goal, their true motivations were a bit different.

Explanation:

Columbus' original goal was to find a shorter route to Asia by sailing west.  The reason why this was important was because otherwise ships had to sail all around Africa to get to Asia.  The Europeans' interest in Asia had to do with commercial trade.  What Columbus was interested in was being a pioneer; being the first one to discover this new route.

Isabella was certainly interested in what Columbus proposed, but her interests were mainly focused on the economical aspect.  She simply wanted Spain to control this new trade route.  This way Spain could have easier access to Asia and all of the products and resources that the Europeans wanted, and that way they could later sell those products and make a profit.

What do Hispanic AMerican and Asian American have in common as minority group the United States?
Alenkasestr [34]

Hispanic Americans and Latino Americans (Spanish: Estadounidenses hispanos, pronounced [isˈpanos]) are people in the United States who are descendants of people from countries of Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula.[6][7][8] The United States has the largest population of Latinos and Hispanics outside of Latin America. More generally, it includes all persons in the United States who self-identify as Hispanic or Latino, whether of full or partial ancestry.[9][10][11][12] For the 2010 United States Census, people counted as "Hispanic" or "Latino" were those who identified as one of the specific Hispanic or Latino categories listed on the census questionnaire ("Mexican", "Puerto Rican" or "Cuban") as well as those who indicated that they were "other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino." The national origins classified as Hispanic or Latino by the United States Census Bureau are the following: Argentine, Cuban, Colombian, Puerto Rican, Spaniards, Dominican, Mexican, Costa Rican, Guatemalan, Honduran, Nicaraguan, Panamanian, Salvadoran, Bolivian, Spanish, Chilean, Ecuadorian, Paraguayan, Peruvian, Uruguayan, and Venezuelan. Other U.S. government agencies have slightly different definitions of the term, including Brazilians and other Portuguese-speaking groups. The Census Bureau uses the terms Hispanic and Latino interchangeably.[13]
