History

Answer:

Gold is what truly drove me to explore in the first place.  I was familiar with the idea of Mercantilism, which is the idea that there is only so much wealth in the world, and that to make your kingdom strong you must have more gold and wealth than the other kingdoms.  However, I also desired to seek riches for my personal wealth.  In my time, government rulers would send explorers to find riches like land, spices, gold and  other resources that would make their country rich and important.  An example of that would be how Christopher Columbus explored for gold and wealth to bring back to Spain.  He traded with the indigenous people for gold at a great profit for Spain.

     God and religion were also a popular motive for exploration during my time.  With Europe Christianized, people wanted to spread the Gospel to the rest of the world, because Europeans had always seen spreading Christianity as a good thing.  Colonization would later become a race to convert indigenous people to a particular brand of Christianity.  Religion was also an excuse for enslaving or exploiting non-Christians which allowed kingdoms to participate in the slave trade.

What were the negative and positive effects of the Panama Canal?
shusha [124]

Answer: When the Panama Canal was created by the U.S. government between 1904 and 1914, they decided to build a lock canal. And that meant that, in effect, every ship that passes through the Panama Canal goes up effectively three steps to 85 feet above sea level. There’s a large dam that blocked the original flow of the Chagres River towards the Caribbean, and then water flows through the locks with the ships. So it’s a massive lake that was created primarily to move ships through the oceans, but when they did that, of course they flooded the entire region. So the entire Chagres River valley, which was a place where there were many small Panamanian communities, was flooded. And a lot of the kind of natural history of the region was lost in the flooding of the canal as well.
