Answer: Christopher Columbus and Fernando Magellan.

Explanation:

Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa (Italy). He ended up in a combination of life circumstances in Portugal and then in Spain. Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492. He sailed under the banner of the King of Spain. With this discovery, Columbus gained a great deal of popularity in Spanish. Columbus was convinced that he was in the waters of Asia, in fact at the time of his arrival, he was in the Bahamas.

Fernando Magellan was born in Portugal. In the sixteenth century, Portugal introduced big names in the world of seafaring and exploration. Magellan was enthusiastic, and to sail the world, he sought the help of the Portuguese king. After the king rejected his plan, he presented the King of Spain to Charles V. The king enthusiastically accepted him because Portugal was the direct rival of Spain. Thus, in about 1519, Fernando Magellan led the first expedition to sail the world.

Sixteenth- through nineteenth-century North American Indians most resisted European beliefs about ____
anastassius [24]

Answer:

(C) land ownership.

Explanation:

To have a land of their own was key for European settlers, since back in their homeland they were unable to do so (they were poor), and land ownership was equivalent to wealth. The more land a person owned, the more powerful and richer he was. Offering such dreamland was the premise for English companies to encourage potential settlers to travel to America.

On the opposite, North American Indians did not believe in land ownership. Everybody was free to own land to live and grow crops in it. They coexisted with nature and constantly moved from land to land, enabling it to recover from their farming activities.

These differences resulted in cruelty towards North American Indians, leading to armed conflicts between them and European settlers.

Answer: Tanks and military-grade planes

Explanation: Imperialism was about almost everywhere in Europe at the time and around that time most European countries had territories in Africa which lead to constant fighting for the land there. What this lead to was intense fights between nations by them creating proxy wars (militias/Rebel groups) to fight against each other which were being supplied by that country that wants more land for them self. With that it lead to Archduke assassination which lead countries to declare wars on one country which then would mean they would declare war on multiple countries in realty because countries would ally each other and the domino effect went down hill from that. So Archduke assassination was just really a "reason" to fight with another nation for more land (resources).
