The correct answers are map making, compasses, and square sails .
Map making made significant progress during the Age of Exploration (when Europeans were sailing to Asia). Thanks to maps that accurately included North and South America and their separation from Asia, sailors were better able to navigate their way around the globe.
Compasses also helped tremendously. These devices helped sailors to find their bearings and assess what direction they were heading.
Lastly, square sails helped in the process of traveling from Europe to Asia. During this period, caravels became ships developed by the Portuguese. These easily movable ships often used square sails as a means to direct their boat.
I've seen this question before, asking to identify where the narrative takes place. It is <u>World War II in Europe</u>.
The references to "fighting the Germans when Poland had first been invaded" identify this narrative as happening during World War II in Europe. Other nations in Europe, notably Britain and France, had followed a policy of appeasement toward Adolph Hitler and Germany's efforts to add territory to its control. They allowed Germany to annex the Sudentland, and then did nothing when Germany took control of all of Czechoslovakia (in March, 1939). But when Germany invaded Poland in September, 1939, it was beyond clear that appeasing Hitler hadn't worked, and war was pursued. Germany's invasion of Poland was the beginning of World War II in Europe.
In my opinion, the greatest accomplishment that the Roman civilization did was conquering land. The Roman's were very skilled when it comes to getting more land for their empire, and that's what they did. Because of how successful and powerful their military was, they conquered land that was already owned by other empire's. The Roman's conquered land from empire's like he Celtic tribes, Carthage, the Hellenistic Empires, and many more. They conquered a large amount of Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. This makes it a very big accomplishment because no other Empire had the manpower that the Roman's had, and because of Rome's manpower, they were bound to conquer a lot of Europe and other land. Them expanding their empire allowed them to control most of Europe and other places.
He used diplomatic maneuvering alliances to increase French territory and centralize its government.
