As the Portuguese were establishing trading posts along the west coast of Africa, Spain watched with increasing envy. The Spanish monarchs also desired a direct sea route to Asia. In 1492, an Italian sea captain, Christopher Columbus, convinced Spain to finance a bold plan: finding a route to Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. In October of that year, Columbus reached an island in the Caribbean. He was mistaken in his thought that he had reached the East Indies. But his voyage would open the way for European colonization of the Americas-a process that would forever change the world. The immediate impact of Columbus's voyage, however, was to increase tensions between Spain and Portugal. The Portuguese believed that Columbus had indeed reached Asia. Portugal suspected that Columbus had claimed for Spain lands that Portuguese sailors might have reached first. The rivalry between Spain and Portugal grew more tense. In 1493, Pope Alexander VI stepped in to keep peace between the two nations. He suggested an imaginary dividing line, drawn north to south, through the Atlantic Ocean. All lands to the west of the line, known as the Line of Demarcation, would be Spain's. These lands included most of the Americas. All lands to the east of the line would belong to Portugal. Portugal complained that the line gave too much to Spain. So it was moved farther west to include parts of modern-day Brazil for the Portuguese. In 1494, Spain and Portugal signed the Treaty of Tordesillas, in which they agreed to honor the line. The era of exploration and colonization was about to begin in earnest.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The Republican administrations of the 1920s pursued the economic policy of substantially reducing taxes

Explanation:

The Republican administration led by President Warren G Harding and Vice President Calvin Coolidge upon taking office in 1920 instituted and introduced conservative economic policies designed to minimize the government's role in the economy and reduce d taxes. Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon engineered and won passage of the "Revenue Act of 1921", a major tax cut that substantially reduced tax rate on the wealthy.

The changes in the marginal income tax rates caused individuals and business alike to change their behaviour. The tax rate cuts cause the tax base to expand as tax avoidance falls and the economy grows.

Think about the priorities of the federal government as you read each of these scenarios. Then answer the question that follows.
ipn [44]
Both of these scenarios show that there is a correlation between the tax changes and government spending. In the first scenario taxes were increased so that the government can use that money for its military purposes. In the other scenario the taxes were cut but at the expense of the unemployment benefits. The money government can use comes from the budget which is formed through taxes and the government decides how to allocate its resources.
