The phrase "Gold, Glory, and God" was used to describe the <em>Age of Exploration</em>, and was the 3 key things that explorers, especially the Spanish Conquistadors, tried to find. To explain:

1) <u>Gold:</u> Essentially, most explorations was formed and created to find natural resources (such as gold) that had large amounts of worth (gold, diamonds, silver, and others like it). In fact, many explorers were given funding to <em>find</em> more treasures, and were to give a certain percentage to the crown royal and investors.

2) <u>Glory:</u> Glory usually meant territory. To find out why, we must look back into the Age of Exploration. During this age, we see that large, powerful countries such as Portugal, France, Spain, Britain, etc, were reaching out their sphere of influence and trying to gain the upper hand on wealth and power. This led to the race for political, military, and resources across the globe.

3) <u>God:</u> Essentially, God was what allowed for the "exploration" to take place. At first, we see that the Conquistadors brought Roman Catholicism to the natives of the Americas. Later, we see that persecution of other branches of Christianity (by the Anglican faction) led to the Puritans moving to the America's. This led to the creation of settlements that were based around religion, as well as freedom of religion (which was later implemented into the US constitution).

Help asap 40 points for the correct answer<br> How was the military buildup during the cold war?
zloy xaker [14]
Well first off, both the USA and Russia were in a “race to the moon” and required a lot of infrastructure revitalization as well as a technological revolution. Both militaries used missiles and rockets as a result of this. A very important event that contributed to the US‘’s military buildup was the Cuban Missile Crisis, which forced Americans to essentially “upgrade” all artillery and intelligence programs in order to stay one step ahead of the USSR. This also contributed to technology as the world would know it for decades to come.

Why is there a link between trade and religion
Bond [772]
The link is that trade has often been used historically to spread religious beliefs. This was especially common during early ages of Islam since Arabs were really important in the trade business since they were the middle people between far east and Europe. As they opened up trading posts across the Mediterranean they also spread their religious beliefs. This is one of the reasons why the North of Africa is for example mostly Muslim.
