As the Portuguese were establishing trading posts along the west coast of Africa, Spain watched with increasing envy. The Spanish monarchs also desired a direct sea route to Asia. In 1492, an Italian sea captain, Christopher Columbus, convinced Spain to finance a bold plan: finding a route to Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. In October of that year, Columbus reached an island in the Caribbean. He was mistaken in his thought that he had reached the East Indies. But his voyage would open the way for European colonization of the Americas-a process that would forever change the world. The immediate impact of Columbus's voyage, however, was to increase tensions between Spain and Portugal. The Portuguese believed that Columbus had indeed reached Asia. Portugal suspected that Columbus had claimed for Spain lands that Portuguese sailors might have reached first. The rivalry between Spain and Portugal grew more tense. In 1493, Pope Alexander VI stepped in to keep peace between the two nations. He suggested an imaginary dividing line, drawn north to south, through the Atlantic Ocean. All lands to the west of the line, known as the Line of Demarcation, would be Spain's. These lands included most of the Americas. All lands to the east of the line would belong to Portugal. Portugal complained that the line gave too much to Spain. So it was moved farther west to include parts of modern-day Brazil for the Portuguese. In 1494, Spain and Portugal signed the Treaty of Tordesillas, in which they agreed to honor the line. The era of exploration and colonization was about to begin in earnest.
<em>Silk</em>
Explanation:
The Age of Exploration, also known as the Age of Discovery, primarily happened through the 15th and 17th centuries. This was the time where Europe was exploring the world and obtaining new goods and items.
During the Age of Exploration, many new trade routes, places, items, cultures, people, and diseases were being spread and found around the world. A lot of the explorers during this time were even looking for treasure, like gold and silver, as they wanted to become wealthy.
Silk was just one of the many items being spread around the world during this time. It was seen as an expensive delicacy that people would spend a lot of money for. Silk was first invented in China and brought them tons of money for years to come.

The correct answer is the Equal Rights Amendment
It was an amendment designed to deal with equal rights in regards to economic situations of people like employment and protection in public and things like that and when it seemed the Amendment would get ratified, Phyllis Schlafly managed to get enough people against it by talking about possible female drafting into the military and similar things and the amendment failed.
