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.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Nullification crisis.

Explanation:

The American Revolutionary War was a war of independence of the United States of America that was fought between the 19th of April, 1775 and 3rd of September, 1783. The war started when the delegates from the thirteen (13) American colonies in Congress (First continental congress) revolted against the Great Britain over their lack of representation in the colonies and refusal to give consent to parliament's taxation such as Stamp Act and Townshend Acts.

The Declaration of Independence was written by President Thomas Jefferson to record the proclamation of the Second Continental Congress which declared American Colonies free from Great Britain.

Basically, the Declaration of Independence is a public Act through which the American Colonies were legally declared free from Great Britain by the Second Continental Congress on the 4th of July, 1776. It was signed by the 56 delegates at the Second Continental Congress.

Nullification crisis is the name of the event when South Carolina (SC) seceded from the Union, but then returned since no one joined them.
