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.

Why were the colonists upset with the British during 1760s?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The main reason the colonists were angry was because Britain had rejected the idea of 'no taxation without representation'. Almost no colonist wanted to be independent of Britain at that time. Yet all of them valued their rights as British citizens and the idea of local self-rule. They considered the Stamp Act to be the worst in a series of violations of these rights.
