It is said that The Three Gs of the Age of Exploration were Gold, Glory and God.

History

Ede4ka [16]3 years ago

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 does De Las Casas accomplish by including his comparison between the Romans’ treatment of Spain to the Spaniards’ treatment
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

To show how poorly they treated them.

Explanation:

Bartolomé De Las Casas was a Spanish Dominican friar who tried to defend the rights of Natives after Spaniards conquered The Americas. He was the first resident bishop of Chiapas, in southern Mexico and also the first one to be named Protector of the Indians. To achieve his goal, he wrote A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies, where he narrated all kind of terrible things done by the Spaniards conquerors towards the Native people. By comparing them to the Romans during the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, De Las Casas showed how the pattern was repeated but now the Spaniards took the role of the conquerors and they were acting like they were treated before.

The Great Depression was known as the worst economic period in history. The Great Depression was caused by the stock market crash of October 1929. It was also a cause of the federal government and their relativity. After the crash of the stock market, there was a loss of about 90% of value between the years of 1929 and 1933. There was a great deal of effects on U.S. citizens caused by the Great Depression. Unemployment rates rose to 25%, leaving people without jobs, and without jobs they could not support their families. The housing prices had dropped 67%, and homelessness rates skyrocketed. The American banking system collapse, and industrial production began dropping. These are only a few example of the many. In order to pick up and fix what the Great Depression caused, President Roosevelt created what is called the New Deal, which helped many people to get back on their feet. The New Deal was a group of domestic policies, a series of programs, and financial reforms. It was enacted in the United States between the years of 1933 and 1939. The New Deal had drastically expanded the role of the federal government in response to the Great Depression.
