Which state was more important to the early phase of European Exploration:Spain or Portugal?

History
1 answer:
swat323 years ago
4 0
This is a lightly tricky question because I think its a matter of perspective.  Portugal is known to have been a key player in the fifteen century when it came to navigation and during this period, they <span>searched for a route to Asia by sailing south around Africa. In doing so they accumulated a plethora of knowledge about navigation and the geography of the Atlantic Ocean.  Most of the maps started during their era.  Where the Spanish came in was later in the century when Columbus was 'rejected' by Portugal and King Ferdinand along with Queen Isabella who had just joined Castille and Aragon decided to take a chance on him and gave him funding along with three ships for him to journey to the East Indies to bring Fame and Wealth to the name Spain (to find an alternative route to the expensive trade one they had across land (Europe & Asia... they heard of the wealth of the east, the beauty of Cinpango (japan) was recorded by Marco Polo etc.)

So in drawing a conclusion I say Portugal was responsible for the early phase of European Exploration while Spain would be responsible for continuing this exploration thus responsible for the middle Exploration while countries such as Britain, France and Holland were responsible for the late European Exploration.</span>

Tell me whether or not you believe President John F. Kennedy handled the Crisis well or badly.
Burka [1]

Answer:

You are asking for a personal opinion, which is highly subjective and people will always have different views concerning any issue, especially one like this.

President John F. Kennedy´s handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis was correct in the sense that he acted with an absolute purpose in mind: to defend the United States´ security, his people´s safety and impide a ruthless global rival to have a huge geopolitical gain. Installing and keeping operational nuclear missiles just a 100 miles from American coasts would have given the Soviet Union a strategic military advantage over the USA.

Kennedy put the US forces on high alert and readiness and impeded the arrival of further missiles or materials by blockading Cuba. He may have ordered a bombing raid of the sites in Cuba, as hawks in his administration and in the military wanted, but he knew that would risk a nuclear conflict. He opted for diplomacy, which paid off fortunately; Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev blinked first, as it is said sometimes.

How did americans affect the end of WWI and it’s peace settlements
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Americans greatly affected the end of WWI because they broke the stalemate. Until the entry of the U.S. in 1917, WW1 was in a stalemate. Each side literally traded yards of territory from one day to the next. There was no progress. When the U.S. joined they brought with them a large amount of soldiers. It was more a game of numbers than battles once the U.S. arrived. Germany's position quickly became untenable and well before the armistice, they were asking for peace.
