The high technology in the ships of the Portuguese gave them an advantage over other countries, becoming the most powerful navigators during those two centuries. Portuguese trading focused mainly on obtaining gold, ivory, and pepper; but in addition to these products, so prized in Europe, it is estimated that more than 175,000 slaves were also carried on Portuguese ships to Europe and the Americas in the greatest migration of people during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
Answer:
Pompey only agreed to join the First Triumvirate so that his goals in Rome were supported.
Explanation:
First Triumvirate was a political alliance between Marcus Licinius Crassus, Pompey, and Julius Caesar. The idea was for the three men to help each other to achieve the goals and proposals they had for Rome and even for themselves. At first, Pompey did not want to participate in the First Triumvirate, because he did not support Crassus.
Pompey was a great general and Crassus was an extremely wealthy and influential man. Pompey wanted the Roman Senate to give land to veterans of his army. So they could colonize land in the name of Rome, in the eastern territories. This request was denied, which made him try to make alliances with powerful people like Julio Cesar and Crassus, so that this request could be considered.
