Before 1453, Europeans had enjoyed relatively easy access to the East. Trade had been going on for centuries between Europe, the Indies (roughly South and East Asia) and China through the Silk Road, a land passage. However, in 1453, with the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks, tensions between Christians and Muslims rose, and the passage became a lot more restricted and dangerous.
This change motivated Portuguese navigators to try to find another route to the East through the ocean. The first promising strategy was the Cape Route of Bartolomeu Dias in 1488, around South Africa. However, there were other proposals that suggested going west. This is what Christopher Columbus attempted, which led him to discover America. These events led to the beginning of the Age of Exploration, which ended with the exploration of the polar regions in the 20th century.
The change in breastplates and helmets contribute to decline of the Roman Empire by weakening the the military. It weaken them because the removal of it promote laziness and negligence of training and the such. It also removes the protection against ranged weapons which caused many casualties.

It was difficult for them because they knew if they would hide and got caught while doing so, they would have gotten shot on the spot and also I wouldn't think that they would want to get the person who is helping them hide, get killed as well.
I hope that helps!
Answer:It is India
Explanation: There is one ideology that I have frequently noticed in my surrounding that there are many of us who are not overjoyed or gratified by our country’s historical past. The notion of ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’ at present isn’t to show welcoming gesture to any guest(white foreigners), rather it’s merely a role play of our inferiority complex over our brown skin. Or maybe it’s because our ancestors got so ingrained with European imperialistic idea of assuming the god given responsibility of civilizing the savage Indians that we forgot what we had was far more superior than what they possessed. Why would the Britishers’ ‘Divide and Rule’ policy not work in country which is already divided on the grounds of religion, caste and class. Perhaps our ancient rulers were way too busy to get over their personal grudges and fight the common intruder. Or they underestimated themselves. One probably have to time travel to understand the exact cause of such majestic wealth of India. Since it is yet to be invented, lets look at the following reports that reflects on the past richness of India.
