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.

Political freedom (also known as <span>political autonomy</span> or political agency) is a central concept in history and political thought and one of the most important features of democratic societies.Political freedom was described as freedom from oppression or coercion, the absence of disabling conditions for an individual and the fulfillment of enabling conditions, or the absence of life conditions of compulsion, e.g. economic compulsion, in a society. Although political freedom is often interpreted negatively as the freedom from unreasonable external constraints on action, it can also refer to the positive exercise of rights, capacities and possibilities for action, and the exercise of social or group rights. The concept can also include freedom from "internal" constraints on political action or speech (e.g. social conformity, consistency, or "inauthentic" behaviour). The concept of political freedom is closely connected with the concepts of civil liberties and human rights, which in democratic societies are usually afforded legal protection from the state.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Genocide

Explanation:

The reason for the appearance of the genocide can differ from another. Some of the genocides we know are on Jews, Armenians, and Rwanda. The genocide creates a position to remove ethnic and minority groups from society as declared unwanted populations.

Nazi supported the ideology of purification that led to dividing the Jews because of their religion. During World War II and the Holocaust, Jews killed in thousands. Hitler's idea of the pure race led Jews to ghettos and concentration camps.

The Armenian genocide appeared with the rise of nationalism by the Young Turks. Armenians consider as an unwanted cultural minority. Genocides in Armenia began from 1915 to 1918 when Armenians forced to deportations and massacres by Turks under the Ottoman Empire.

The Rwandan genocide caused by a political conflict between two community: the Tutsi and Hutu. During the Rwandan genocide, estimated the Hutu ethnic murdered 800,000 Tutsi minority people.
