<span>He definitely wasn't a failure: he captained what became arguably the most famous voyage in the history of seafaring. True, he wasn't the first European to visit America (the Vikings were), but his journey opened up the East and the West and ushered in the modern era. That isn't something a failure could do. But he certainly wasn't a hero, either. He was a ruthless and cruel man who inflicted unspeakable tortures upon innocent natives after he arrived in America. He was neither a failure, nor a hero. He was a very succesful man who was also a horrible person.</span>

What effect did the “Fourteen Points” have on Germany at the end of World War I?
Alja [10]

The right alternative is the letter D. This is because when the German leaders signed the armistice, many of them believed that the "Fourteen Points" would be the basis of the future peace treaty, but when the leaders of the governments of the United States, Britain, France and Italy met in Paris to discuss the terms of the treaty, the European side of the "Big Four" had other plans. The United Powers saw Germany as the main instigator of the conflict and, as such, imposed particularly harsh conditions on that country.

Strike441 [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Here is my short paragraph.

The short- and long-term effects of European imperialism in Africa as a result of the scramble for Africa were the following.

The Scramble for Africa refers to how European nations wanted the biggest and richest colonies in Africa.

Shorte term: What Europeans really wanted was to exploit the many raw materials and natural resources that were abundant in Africa, in order to make big profits.

Long-term: these African nations never learned how to govern themselves after the Europeans granted their independence. That is why these nations have a corrupt and inefficient government even today.

After the Berlin Conference of 1844-1845, European superpowers agreed on regulating the split of the African Continent. These European superpowers such as France, Germany, Great Britain, Spain, and Portugal split the African territory, displaced people, and created new borders in order to colonize the territories.
