History

gregori [183]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Disease helped European expansion into those areas

Explanation:

For example, disease like smallpox was a major contribution to European expansion in the Aztec and Incan empires.

The Aztecs and Incas had no natural immunity to the disease and were extremely vulnerable to it, so smallpox was able to demolish the populations.

The conquerors, Hernan and Cortes, were able to easily crush the populations that had already been weakened by disease.

This was also present in other areas in the Americas and the Pacific.

Strike441 [17]
Hello! Ceuta was a Spanish territory located in the northern coast of Africa. Persian Gulf is between Saudi Arabia and Iran, plus it also connects to the Indian Ocean. That is not even close to the Mediterranean Sea, or Spain. C is out. Southern Africa is way too far deep and far away from where Ceuta is located. D is out. A is out, because Siberia is a part of Russia, and Ceuta had nothing to do with Russia. Therefore, the answer is D.

Why did the plantation system develop in the southern colonies?
Natali5045456 [20]
The plantation system developed for several reasons. The Southern colonies had been founded by companies or proprietors who wished to make a profit, and they accordingly encouraged cash crops like tobacco (in the Chesapeake) and rice (in the Low Country). These crops were labor intensive, which meant that growers turned first to indentured servants and then to African slaves as a labor supply (so, too, did sugar planters in the Caribbean.) They also required a great deal of land and capital, which meant that due to an economic principle called "economies of scale," cash crops, especially rice, favored very wealthy people with large landholdings and access to large labor forces. So in the Southern colonies/United States, the economic realities of staple crop production favored the formation of large farms, or plantations. Cotton, which emerged as the biggest cash crop in the nineteenth-century South, was less shaped by economies of scale--many small planters and farmers could profitably raise the crop. But even still, the largest cotton planters in places like Alabama and Mississippi dominated the Southern economy and increasingly its politics. Large capital investments in land and enslaved people made the production of large amounts of cotton profitable, so the region's dependence on cash crops continued to foster the plantation system.
