Answer: By working together voluntarily

Explanation:

Before the current time-zones in the United States and Canada came into effect, the various towns and cities had their own times depending on the position of the sun amongst other things. This made scheduling a nightmare for the Railroad comapnies who would have to list multiple times for the same train.

Burdened by this and powerful enough to change it, the Railroad companies met and decided to work together voluntarily to divide the United States and Canada into 4 zones which were quite similar to the ones in use today. These zones went into effect in 1883 and were officially adopted by Congress in 1918.

Which of the following had the most significant impact in supporting Portugal's e fforts to control the Indian Ocean spice trade
vovikov84 [41]

The correct answer is the vast number of ships in their fleets.


The vast number of ships in their fleets is what had the most significant impact in supporting Portugal’s efforts to control the Indian Ocean spice trade.


The first expedition to bring spices from India to Europe by way of the Cape of Good Hope was under the command of Pedro Alvares Cabral in 1501. From then on, Portugal dominated the naval trading routes through the 16th century due to the vast number of ships in their fleets that had the most significant impact in supporting Portugal’s efforts to control the Indian Ocean spice trade.


The species that were traded in these ships were cassia, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, turmeric, and pepper.
