The correct answer to this question is alternative B)"Nations fought to control the islands to use them as supply and refueling stations for ships at sea."

Nations wanted to make sure they controlled the islands in order to have them as supply stations at sea. They could indeed use them to refuel, to equip their ships, and expand their domination of the seas. Also, island nations could provide natural resources to the main land.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The Silk Road of ancient China is an example of cultural diffusion occurring at a result of a trade. Although the route began in about 138 B.C. as a means for China to export silk fabric -- a rare and valuable commodity -- trade along the Silk Road greatly promoted the exchange of products, ideas and practices between Oriental and Western civilizations.
