Answer:

Explanation:

James Watt was a Scottish instrument maker employed by Glasgow University who began repairing a small model of a Newcomen engine. He was confused by a large amount of steam consumed by Newcomen's machine and found out that to improve this engine, he had to eliminate the constant cooling and reheating of the steam cylinder. This engine was the first that allowed the machine's operator to control the engine speed with a device called a centrifugal governor and used a new gear system.

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Both Spain and Portugal began to decline in power after 1600. This was mainly because of poor governance and political involvement in wars back in Europe.

Explanation:

At the same time, other European nations began to develop more, specially Britain, the Netherlands (which won its independence from Spain), and France. In these nations, internartional trade and exploration began to be promoted, and this naturally led to the establishment of new colonies around the world, including Asia.

The common trait was the intention to Christianize the Indians - that is to convert them to the Christian religion. The Spaniards were more brutal in this, often Christianizing by force, but the English also made strong attempts to convert the Indians.

Another common trait was the lack of interest in the local languages with the exception of priests or monks , who did it to be able to preach about Christianity to the natives.
