Without the support of the African space trade, Great Britain's economy policy would not have worked simply because Britain would not have been viable without the trade and use of slaves.

Answer:

Great Britain's economic policy, mercantilism, required that the country export more goods than it imported. For this to happen, Britain needed to maintain its status as the world's strongest industrial power. Britain did this by acquiring colonies overseas. It was motivated to do this because it needed new markets for its finished goods. The colonies could also be used to supply raw materials for manufacturing.

Was the African slave trade necessary for Great Britain's economic policy to work?

Great Britain's economic policy, mercantilism, required that the country export more goods than it imported. For this to happen, Britain needed to maintain its status as the world's strongest industrial power. Britain did this by acquiring colonies overseas. It was motivated to do this because it needed new markets for its finished goods. The colonies could also be used to supply raw materials for manufacturing.

The trouble with the colonies is that after the British economy became prosperous, British nationals did not desire to move to these locations, which were in inhospitable climes. This is where the slave trade becomes a factor. Because the colonies were primarily established to provide particular cash crops, which required numerous workers, slaves were utilized to make them profitable. The slave trade itself was also a very lucrative endeavor. Due to the need to make colonies profitable to increase industrial trade, Britain was closely tied to the Atlantic slave market. So to answer the initial question, Britain's economic policy was probably not viable without the trade and use of slaves.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. The goals of the Coronado expedition included finding the Seven Cities of Cíbola and claiming all the lands north of Mexico for Spain.

Explanation:

Francisco Vasquez de Coronado was a Spanish explorer, best known for the discovery of the southwestern United States.

Coronado arrived in New Spain in 1535 and four years later he became governor of the province of Nueva Galicia (which consisted of the Mexican states of Aguascalientes, Jalisco and Zacatecas). There he heard the stories of the Spanish explorer Cabeza de Vaca about the seven golden cities of Cibola, believed to be a rich Native American settlement northeast of the province. Coronado decided to conduct an expedition over land, to explore and add the area to Spain.

During the trip, the Grand Canyon, the Rio Grande and the southern Rocky Mountains were discovered. The expedition was a flop because no gold was found. Their discovery was a serious setback after the murderous long journey, the danger of the Indians and the food shortage. They had hoped for a lot but this did not live up to their expectations in any way.
