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).

In which order did groups from the United States first settle in Hawaii?
mr_godi [17]
Missionaries were the first group from the United States to settle in Hawaii. They were followed by the businessmen. Then, the military came.

American Protestant missionaries lead by Reverend Amos Starr Cooke settled in Hawaii on 1837. He set up a school to educate future monarchs. He became the unofficial adviser to the King, one of his previous students. Cooke influenced the king's decision to devise a land reform that allows businessmen to buy land from the locals and become sugarcane planters.

Hawaii's location is ideal for strategic warfare, thus, the military settled there.
