to reach the East Indies more quickly


Most likely

Christopher Columbus wanted to find a new water route to Asia. He thought that he could sail west across the Atlantic Ocean, instead of around Africa. Spain agreed to fund his voyage because the new sea route would help Spain compete with Portugal.

In 1493, Pope Alexander VI settled the conflict between Spain and Portugal about their rights to claim the lands they encountere
damaskus [11]

The Portuguese King found out that Spain was sponsoring trips to the new world and me became very angry. Then, the King sent a threatening letter to the Catholic Monarchs and in those, he stated that by the Treaty of Alcáçovas, which was signed in 1479 and confirmed in 1481 with the papal bull Æterni regis, all lands at the south of the Canary Islands were granted to Portugal. Which caused them to go to the Pope, which then created a line to divide the new lands between those two countries, in a way to avoid a war that the Spanish most likely would lose.

In the end, Portugual was not pleased with the division, mostly because it prevented them to conquer India witch was a goal pursued by them for a long time. So they went to the Catholic Monarchs to renegotiate directly the position of the line. The treaty of Tordesillas was the diplomatic solution found by the Catholic Monarchs. Curiously, even though the treaty and the resulting line was negotiated without consulting the Pope, some sources call the division the "<em>Papal Line of Demarcation"</em>.

What is the main difference between airports of the early 1920s and international airports of the 1930s?
Marat540 [252]

Answer: Airports in the early 1920s catered to municipal and regional travel, while airports in the 1930s served as hubs for travel between countries

Explanation:

The main difference between airports of the early 1920s and international airports of the 1930s was simply due to the fact that the airports in the early 1920s serviced municipal and regional travel, while the airports in the 1930s serviced as hubs for travel between countries.

Despite the effects of the Great Depression, in the 1930s, there was a expansion of commercial aviation which was as a result of the help of partnerships. Before this period, airports were treated just exactly like harbor and dock facilities by the federal government as it was expected to be financed by the municipalities and private interests.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

lukranit [14]
The reason why Stalin pushed so hard for the US and Britain to open a second front against Germany was because Russia was bearing the burden of Germany's advance all by itself, and was suffering a great deal of losses in the process.
