4 0

<u>ANSWER:</u>

The explorers during the Columbus' time that is during the 1400s were largely looking for a sea route to Asia.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Columbus was an "Italian explorer" who started his expedition in 1492 across the Atlantic Ocean in a hope to find a sea route to the Asian country of India.
  • He wanted to set up a spice trade with India as India was known for its variety and quality of spices at that time.
  • He explored to find a sea route from "Europe to Asia" but he was unsuccessful.
  • In fact during his four trips in '1492, 1493, 1498 and 1502' he did discover a route to the Americas, both North and South.
  • Another explorer of his time Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese explorer, also sailed to find a sea route to the Asian countries and in 1497 found one to India by travelling around "Africa’s Cape of Good Hope".

What caused william penn to allow Delaware to from its own assembly?
patriot [66]

Answer: “ On this day in 1682, the fifth Duke of York (1633-1701), the son of England’s Charles I, awarded William Penn (1644-1718) a deed to the three counties that now make up the state of Delaware. Penn, a Quaker leader and an advocate of religious freedom, oversaw the founding of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a refuge for Quakers and other religious minorities.

Penn successfully sought to acquire the tract — which had been transferred from Dutch to British authority — to ensure access to the Atlantic Ocean for the new colony. (In 1610, explorer Samuel Argall had named the Delaware River and Bay for the governor of Virginia, Thomas West, also known as Lord De La Warr.)”
