Answer:

The biggest changes were in rigging. At first they concentrated on lateen sails, then added a mix of square sails and lateen for deeper penetration into the South Atlantic, with further changes for the much longer route round the Cape. Knowledge of these techniques was protected by forbidding sales of ships to other countries. A third commercial advantage was Portugal's ability to absorb “new Christians” — Jewish merchants and scholars had played a significant role during Muslim rule.

Hope this helps! If so please mark brainliest and rate/heart to help my account if it did!!

Answer:

1.The land would generate great wealth if exploited.

2.Europeans wanted Asian goods, which were difficult to obtain because the Mongol Empire made trade more dangerous. Europeans wanted goods for the opportunity to make a large profit using sea-based trade routes.

3.Portugal set up trade posts throughout Africa, the Indian Ocean, and Southeast Asia. Military posts also supported Portuguese naval bases.

4.Russia expanded by land rather than water (maritime) expansion. Russia gained control over Mongol Khanates and pushed into Siberia in search for fur for trade.

I want to know about the history of The Opium War
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The Opium War, usually the Opium War refers to the First Opium War, which the British often refer to as the First Sino-British War or "Trade War", which was an unjust war of aggression launched by Britain against China from 1840 to 1842, and also the beginning of China's modern history of humiliation.

In 1840 (the twentieth year of Daoguang), the British government decided to send an expeditionary force to invade China under the pretext of Lin Zexu's Humen tobacco sales. In June 1840, 47 British ships and 4,000 army personnel, led by Rear Admiral George Yilu and Yi Lu, the commercial supervisor in China, arrived outside the mouth of the Pearl River in Guangdong province, blockaded Haikou, and the Opium War began.

The Opium War ended with China's defeat and the cession of land in reparations. China and Britain signed the Treaty of Nanking, the first unequal treaty in Chinese history. China began to cede land, pay indemnities, and agree on tariffs to foreign countries, which seriously endangered China's sovereignty, began to degenerate into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, lost its independent and autonomous status, and promoted the disintegration of the small-scale peasant economy. At the same time, the Opium War also opened a new chapter in the history of the resistance of the Chinese people to foreign aggression in modern times.

Why aren't there large cities in southern part of the arabian peninsula
My name is Ann [436]

There aren't any large cities in the Southern Part of the Arabian Peninsula due to the Arabian Desert.

Arabian Peninsula is the largest Peninsula in the world and is made up of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, UAE. It also includes some parts of Iraq and Jordan.

However, in mordern times, Saudia Arabia covers more than 60% of the land area.

The area has always been sparsley populated, especially in the south as you go deeper into the Arabian desert.

It is a harsh climate and a difficut terrain, where it is not easy to grow food. Hence, the area is mostly made up of small villages and towns.
