He is talking about the aspirations of a death man, John Cabot, and the "good" things he hoped for Georges Bank. He wanted greatness, and the reality was there was not more than a disaster. Nothing had turned the way he expected.

We can notice because of the contrast seen in the words used: He wanted lots and good fishes, (using a metaphor) and got bad and disastrous ones.

The triple alliance of 1882 began when prussia​
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Military alliance

Explanation:

Triple Alliance, secret agreement between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy formed in May 1882 and renewed periodically until World War I. Germany and Austria-Hungary had been closely allied since 1879. Italy sought their support against France shortly after losing North African ambitions to the French. The treaty provided that Germany and Austria-Hungary were to assist Italy if it were attacked by France without Italian provocation; Italy would assist Germany if Germany were attacked by France. In the event of a war between Austria-Hungary and Russia, Italy promised to remain neutral. This abstention would have the effect of freeing Austrian troops that would otherwise have been needed to guard the Austrian-Italian border.

When the treaty was renewed in February 1887, Italy gained an empty promise of German support of Italian colonial ambitions in North Africa in return for Italy’s continued friendship. Austria-Hungary had to be pressured by German chancellor Otto Avon

Bismarck into accepting the principles of consultation and mutual agreement with Italy on any territorial changes initiated in the Balkans or on the coasts and islands of the Adriatic and Aegean seas. Italy and Austria-Hungary did not overcome their basic conflict of interest in that region, the treaty notwithstanding. On November 1, 1902, five months after the Triple Alliance was renewed, Italy reached an understanding with France that each would remain neutral in the event of an attack on the other. Although the alliance was again renewed in 1907 and 1912, Italy entered World War I in May 1915 in opposition to Germany and Austria-Hungary.

In a three- to five-paragraph essay, analyze whether U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War was motivated by a desire to promot
Nataly [62]

This question asks for an essay, which is a task that only you can complete. However, we can provide some information that can help you start your work.

The Cold War was a period in history in which the Soviet Union and the United States (along with their respective allies) engaged in an ideological and geopolitical struggle for global influence. While the United States argued that its main objective was to spread democracy all over the world, I believe that the politics of this time were mainly dominated by a desire to be the most influential country in the world.

This is supported by the fact that many of the decisions that the United States   made during this time period seem motivated more by a desire to compete with the Soviet Union than to benefit other countries. For example, the Space Race had no impact on democracy abroad. Nevertheless, it was an essential component of the Cold War and of gaining preeminence over the Soviet Union. Similarly, rivalry in sports and nuclear arsenal development are more closely related to a struggle for geopolitical influence than a desire to spread democracy.
