Prince Henry of Portugal spurred on Portuguese explorations of the coast of Africa and even farther. At the end of this answer, I'll provide some notes from a primary source regarding Henry and why he was so eager for his nation to pursue exploration by sea.
Going even beyond the coastal explorations of Africa, Vasco da Gama of Portugal was the first European explorer to reach India via a sea route. In 1497-1499, Vasco da Gama successfully sailed south around Africa and got to India by that route.
Now here's that bit about Henry of Portugal that I promised as an extra for you. Contemporary sources concerning Portugal's Prince Henry (called "The Navigator" because he sponsored sea voyages) stated Henry's reasons for promoting exploration: 1. Curiosity -- nobody had ever explored further down the coast of Africa before his sponsored voyages did.2. Commerce -- he wanted to discover possible trading partners in Africa.3. Reconnaissance -- he wanted to find out how far into Africa the power of the Muslims extended. (The Muslims were seen as enemies of Christian Europe.)4. Finding fellow Christians -- there was a legend that there was some great Christian prince yet in Africa from back in the days before Muslim conquests of North Africa.5. Conversions -- the Portuguese Catholics thought they could gain favor with God by converting non-Christians peoples to the Catholic faith.6. Destiny -- ultimately, Prince Henry thought it was in his stars to be the leadership force behind a great project like the exploration of Africa.
Answer:
<u>The correct answer is C. All of Carter's attempts failed.</u>
Explanation:
The taking of hostages at the US embassy in Iran in 1979 lasted 444 days, between 1979 and 1981. It all began on November 4, 1979, when between 300 and 400 Islamist students jumped over the wall that surrounded the building from the US embassy in Tehran and, after defeating the Marines who were guarding him, they settled in place without letting anyone go.
64 hostages, handcuffed and blindfolded, were distributed in different buildings of the complex. After the release of a dozen of them, 52 remained in captivity. The Islamists demanded the extradition of the Shah, Mohammed Pahlavi, protected by the United States and who had left the country eight months earlier, after the Islamic revolution evicted him from power.
The kidnappers remained firm during the 14 months of the hostages taking, which ended on January 20, 1981, when President Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter's successor, took office, to which the Islamic authorities refused to make concessions. <u>Even though the negotiation was not successful because two rescue operations were failed, </u>and that was one of the reasons for his non-re-election, President Carter achieved liberation on the last day of his term as emissary of the Reagan administration.
