Answer:
Vasco De Gama discovered the route.
Explanation:
The first European to find a successful trading route to India was Vasco De Gama. His discovery of the route helped the Portuguese establish a long lasting colonial empire in Asia and Africa.
He started his journey from Lisbon and sailed past the Canary Islands to the Cape Verde islands then sailed out into the South Atlantic and swung down to the Cape of Good Hope then anchored at Mossel Bay, South Africa, then sailed to Mozambique at the Rio do Cobre (Copper River) and continued on until they reached the Rio dos Bons Sinais (River of Good Omens). Here they erected a statue in the name of Portugal. They then went to the Island of Mozambique. After trading with the local Muslim merchants, da Gama sailed on once more stopping briefly in Malindi (in present day Kenya). He hired a pilot to help him navigate through the Indian Ocean. They sailed for 23 days, and on May 20, 1498 they reached India.

Explanation: The Wall Street Crash of 1929 was a major stock market crash that occurred in 1929. It started in September and ended late in October, when share prices on the New York Stock Exchange collapsed. It remains the most devastating stock market crash in the history of the United States, considering how long it lasted and the full extent of its aftereffects.
Agricultural production was booming and there were good harvests in 1928 that had built up a mass of about 250 million bushels of wheat when 1929 opened. By May of the same year, there was also a winter-wheat crop of 560 million bushels ready for harvest in the Mississippi Valley. This oversupply caused a drop in wheat prices so heavy that the net incomes of the farming population from wheat were a cause for despair. This was one of the major causes of the 1929 market crash.
In 1922 October, there were extensive riots in the rural countryside of Northern Italy and there was widespread fear of a communism takeover during these riots, which King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy was not happy about.
Mussolini gathered his Fascist followers and foot soldiers known as the "Black shirts" and staged a march on Rome. Once there, King Victor asked him to form a government and restore order in the countryside. Over the next three years, Mussolini dismantled the democracy that prevailed at the time and in 1925 declared himself a dictator of Italy giving himself the title " Duce" which means "The Leader."
