History

In the early 1400s, Europeans knew little about the world beyond their continent. Many sailors would have heard stories of treacherous seas and sea monsters that destroyed any ship trying to cross the ocean. The sailors would hear these stories and become superstitious. They wouldn’t want to take a journey that they believed would most likely claim their lives.

On the other hand, maritime travel had the potential to earn sailors great wealth and prosperity. European nations wanted to find sea routes that would allow them to continue to trade with Asian merchants. If they were one of the first nations to do so, they would be able to increase their wealth and get the materials they needed to help their nations prosper.

Alborosie

Answer:

The correct answer is D. The onset of the Great Depression came as a considerable shock to the conventional wisdom of economics at that time and opened the door for critiques of mainstream thought by economists like John Maynard Keynes.

Explanation:

The Great Depression was a recession that followed the Stock Market Crash on October 29, 1929. From the United States, it spread rapidly to Europe and other parts of the world, with devastating effects. International trade fell sharply, as did personal income, tax revenue, prices and profits. This affected cities all over the world, not least those who relied on heavy industry. Construction stopped in several countries, farms and other agricultural areas as the price of their harvests fell by between 40 and 60 percent, and the demand for miners and forestry workers fell sharply while there were few other employment options. The Great Depression ended at different times in different countries; the majority of countries affected set up different aid programs to cope with the crisis.

The Great Depression was not a sudden collapse; the decline came progressively for a period of three years and reached its absolute bottom in March 1933. In early 1930, the credit was large and was available for low prices, but was exploited by few because many households could not take on more debt. Car sales fell below the level of 1928 at the end of May 1930. Wages remained at a stable level until they began to decline in 1931. Circumstances were worst in agricultural areas, where prices of commodities fell, and in the mining and forest industry, where unemployment was high and there were get job opportunities. The downturn in the US industry began the downturn in most other countries; however, internal weaknesses or strengths in the various countries determined how severely affected they were by the crisis.

Maurinko [17]
The correct answer is <span>B. Employ absolute power to maintain order in the areas under their rule.
Machiaveli's idea about ruling was that it is better to be feared that to be loved. Thus a ruler, a king, emperor, or whoever was in charge of a country, had to have absolute power over everyone and instill fear in his or her subjects so that they cannot even think about rebelling. </span>
