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".

Answer:

Option:  It allowed the Plains tribes to better hunt buffalo.

Explanation:

After the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus in 1492, began the Columbian Exchange. During the Columbia Exchange, Spain introduced horses to the New World. Escaped horses spread in the Great Plains and helped the Native Indian in moving one place to another, also in hunting which changed their life. Horses spread to different tribes with horsemanship. The Plains Indians were hunters, and hunting was vital for the tribes. Earlier, they followed animal herds and hunted with bows and arrows by getting close to buffalo wearing wolf skins covering their bodies. Bison was the most important natural resource of the Plains Indians as it provided them with food,  shelter, and clothing.
