The correct answer is D) The desire to find a sea route to Asia before the Portuguese.

Christopher Columbus estimated that he could sucessfully navigate a voyage to Asia. This was significant because a trade route to Asia would allow a country access to rare and precious resources.

After getting support from Spain for this endeavor, Columbus sailed out hoping to reach Asia to establish a consistent trade. This trade would greatly reduce the price of resources that Europeans bought if it happened. However, Columbus stumbled upon the Americas, changing the course of world history forever.

How does it benefit us to know what's accurate about The Odyssey? Why are people so interested in discovering the factual origin
slava [35]

Answer:

Life is a journey

Explanation:

Odyssey means a long wandering or voyage usually marked by many changes of fortune. In Homer´s classic the hero, Odysseus spends 20 years travelling, learning a great deal about himself and the world. The reason why we like to verify the truthfulness of the story (geographically, historically etc.) is because we can link it to our own journey of life that has the same ups and downs. This is acknowledged and merchandised by Hollywood who likes to sell us stories based on true events.

What problems did the Americans face in providing the necessary supplies and equipment for the war and in paying for them? What
Mrac [35]
Thre were a lot of men in the army but not enough money to arm, clothe, and feed them all.

One advantage of the struggle was the introduction of rations. Food was served out in rations and people got no more or no less than what they needed. Less food was wasted and more was available to the American Army.

One disadvantage was inflation. Things were so overpriced to pay for army supplies that the $1 was essentially worthless then.
