How did the compass help with navigation of the seas?

History
1 answer:
navik [9.2K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The first Western civilization known to have developed the art of navigation at sea were the Phoenicians, about 4,000 years ago (c. 2000 B.C.E. ). Phoenician sailors accomplished navigation by using primitive charts and observations of the Sun and stars to determine directions.

Explanation:

Despite these early beginnings, it would take many centuries before global navigation at sea became possible. Until the fifteenth century, mariners were essentially coastal navigators. Sailing on the open sea was limited to regions of predictable winds and currents, or where there was a wide continental shelf to follow. Farther ventures were enabled by the development of scientifically and mathematically based methods and tools.

President Theodore Roosevelt’s “speak softly and carry a big stick” foreign policy was based on
igomit [66]

Answer:

diplomacy and influence

Explanation:

Theodore Roosevelt's big stick policy was about using diplomacy and negotiation while having a huge navy as a threat. He actually didn't need to use the military, but as long as it was powerful enough to pose a threat, other countries would be intimidated by it. The use of diplomacy was "speaking softly" while the military threat was the "big stick".

It was similar to the Godfather's offer that couldn't to be refused.
