What happened when Columbus landed in America, and connected it by ship to Europe

History
1 answer:
V125BC [204]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1451. Little is known of his early life, but he worked as a seaman and then a sailing entrepreneur. He became obsessed with the possibility of pioneering a western sea route to Cathay (China), India, and the fabled gold and spice islands of Asia. At the time, Europeans knew no direct sea route to southern Asia, and the route via Egypt and the Red Sea was closed to Europeans by the Ottoman Empire, as were many land routes. Contrary to popular legend, educated Europeans of Columbus’ day did believe that the world was round, as argued by St. Isidore in the seventh century. However, Columbus, and most others, underestimated the world’s size, calculating that East Asia must lie approximately where North America sits on the globe (they did not yet know that the Pacific Ocean existed).

The___ theory of Representation views members of Congress as a messenger boy of their constituents
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Delegate theory of representation

Explanation:

The delegate theory of presentation holds that a member of a representative body, like the Congress, is nothing more than the embodiment of his or her constituents, and for that reason, he or she does not have the right to express his or her own opinions, only the opinions of the constituents.

Under this theory, a congressperson should never fail to act according to the constituents' wishes, because doing otherwise would be illegitimate.

What role did the belief in gods play in Egyptian society?
lord [1]

Gods often linked to nature in Egyptian mythology. They were human like, they had emotions like a human would and resembled them. They believed strongly in these gods, so strongly they built temples to worship them and if a god was spoken about in an inappropriate manner they would be punished.  They believed the gods controlled most, if not all, aspects of their life.
