The main cause of Portugal and Spain to begin the Age of Discovery  (Age of Exploration) in XV century is search for the new trade route to spice-laden East due to fall of Orthodox Christian Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire. Old trade routes being shuttered was great damage for Iberian merchants.

When the Byzantine empire fell to the Ottomans, the route to trading with the middle east and the a bit further east went down the drain because the Ottomans wanted to control it all. They often forbid others from trading or took large amounts of money as tax for the trade. Also, the Catholics didn't want their people going there and trading with Ottomans so that was another obstacle. This is why they decided that it was necessary to find a new route to reach India, for example, which didn't involve any dealing with Arabs or Turks. This was much more cost effective because they could trade directly with eastern people without middlemen.

Who were ronald reagan and franklin d.Roosevelt and what viewpoint did they share about the president term office
ANTONII [103]

Ronald Reagan was the U. S. president from 1981 to 1989. Franklin D. Roosevelt was also a U. S. president. He served from 1933 to his death in 1945.

Both presidents had an interest in serving for more than 8 years, the currently-accepted maximum length for a presidential term. Franklin D. Roosevelt was president four times, due to his popularity and success in restoring the economy after the Great Depression. Serving for two four-year terms had been an unwritten rule since George Washington, but it was not a law, which enabled FDR to stay in power for longer.

After his death, Amendment XXII was passed, limiting the time a president could serve to two periods of four years. However, in 1987, Reagan made public his interest to get rid of this amendment. He argued that the change would not apply to him, but to leaders from then on.
