Answer:

The question refers to Colombus' impressions of peoples and land. The answer is:

Colombus believed that it would be very easy to convince people to convert to Christianity. He also believed that the natives would be easily forced to serve the interests of the crown and claimed that the land had great economic potential and could be exploited.

Explanation:

Upon arriving in the American continent, Colombus was impressed by the size of the place and the number of natives that already occupied these lands. He saw great economic potential in the American territory for the Spanish crown and was quick to write about his discoveries.

He claimed that the territory was extensive, with a large number of trees, fruits and animals that could be exploited and generate great wealth for the Spanish crown. In addition, he predicted that this exploitation would have a small economic expense, since it would be possible to conquer and enslave the natives, forcing them to work towards Spanish objectives. He also said that these peoples would be easily converted to Christianity, calling for exploitation to be cursed.

The Vijayanagara Empire, also called Karnata Kingdom,[3] was based in the Deccan Plateau region in South India. It was established in 1336 by the brothers Harihara I and Bukka Raya I of the Sangama dynasty, members of a pastoralist cowherd community that claimed Yadava lineage.[4] The empire rose to prominence as a culmination of attempts by the southern powers to ward off Islamic invasions by the end of the 13th century. At its peak, it subjugated almost all of South India's ruling families and pushed the sultans of the Deccan beyond the Tungabhadra-Krishna river doab region, in addition to annexing modern day Odisha (ancient Kalinga) from the Gajapati Kingdom thus becoming a notable power.[5] It lasted until 1646, although its power declined after a major military defeat in the Battle of Talikota in 1565 by the combined armies of the Deccan sultanates. The empire is named after its capital city of Vijayanagara, whose ruins surround present day Hampi, now a World Heritage Site in Karnataka, India. The wealth and fame of the empire inspired visits by and writings of medieval European travelers such as Domingo Paes, Fernão Nunes, and Niccolò de' Conti. These travelogues, contemporary literature and epigraphy in the local languages and modern archeological excavations at Vijayanagara has provided ample information about the history and power of the empire.

Which of the following Nazi military tactics led to their rapid success in World War II?
dlinn [17]

Answer:

The Nazi military tactic that led to their rapid success in World War II was the blitzkrieg.

Explanation:

Blitzkrieg is a military tactic based on the combination of mechanization, air power and telecommunications, aimed at the development of rapid and overwhelming maneuvers designed to break down enemy lines at their weakest points and then proceed to encircle and destroy isolated units, without giving any ability to react, given the constant state of movement of the attacking units.

Crowned by a resounding success during World War II, in the countryside of Poland, France and the Balkans, the Blitzkrieg showed the first shortcomings during the Barbarossa Operation. In fact, while on the western battlefields the operational distances were estimated in the order of tens of miles (allowing the mechanized infantry to almost never lose contact with the advancing armored units), in the endless Russian steppes the formations often ended up enormously lengthening, distributing the attack units along impressive-sized routes, making the aggregate infantry accumulate delays in the order of days with respect to the Panzer-Division.
