Answer:

E) the superiority of the Portuguese navy over English and Dutch forces.

Explanation:

In the early 16th century, two countries of Europe had ventured far away to try to find new trade routes to India and Asia: Spain and Portugal. Without knowing it, Spain had discovered for Europe a new continent, and Portuguese sailors managed to circumnavigate Africa. English and Dutch maritime expeditions with trade purposes took place at a later time.

What caused the tension between the soviet union and the us
velikii [3]

Answer:

Stalin resented the Western Allie's delay in attacking the Germans in Europe and that the United States had tried to keep its development of the atomic bomb a secret.

Explanation:

Stalin always pressed England and the US to open another front during the 1940s as German forces were concentrating to deepen in the Soviet territory.

He believed the Western allies were on purpose to profit from the weakening of the USSR as it fought against Nazi Germany.

The delayed had enabled Nazis to redirect manpower to the Eastern front.

Stalin was annoyed since he believed the US and Britain delayed to open the second front against German troops in the West, and demanded a buffer formed from Baltic nations and Poland after the war.

The development of the atomic bomb was jealously held by the US, as it gave the supremacy on the overall outcome of the war and its unrevealing by alleged "spies" meant that the USSR and the US would start an arms race.

The rivalry in atomic weapons was quickly contested in the 1950s and soon to be followed by the space race.
