History

Answer:

In my opinion that were the geographical position and large number of great sailors and explorers.

Explanation:

Even in the first half of 15th Century Portugal started spreading its maritime strength, which was their main focus when it comes to development of the country. Of course, the position of the country, that is located on the shores of Atlantic Ocean allowed the sailors from this country to gain certain knowledge. Of course, with the technological improvements of that period they started sailing on the open sea. Of course, all of this wouldn't be possible without great sailors and explorers that opened the Age of Exploration. Among them the most famous were Dias, Vasco de Gama and Pedro Cabral.

Explanation:

Harvey, William William Harvey (1578–1657) was both a physician and a remarkable natural historian. His great achievement was the demonstration of the circulation of the blood, a discovery which replaced centuries of theory and speculation with knowledge firmly based on accurate observation and experiment

His work was of vital importance in illustrating the sequence of hypothesis, experiment, and conclusion which has governed all medical discovery since his time. He was the founder of modern physiology.

Harvey was born in Folkestone in Kent on 1 April 1578, the son of a yeoman, James Harvey, and his wife Joane Halke. Aged ten, in the year of the Spanish Armada, he was sent to King's School, Canterbury, and from there to Cambridge University, being admitted to Gonville and Caius College on 31 May 1593. He graduated BA in 1597 and deciding to study medicine, travelled though France and Germany to Padua, where Galileo was then teaching. There is no evidence that Harvey ever met Galileo, nor of whether he believed in the heliocentric view of the universe. His own mentor was the great anatomist, Fabricius of Aquapendente, who maintained the traditions of Vesalius at Padua. Harvey graduated MD in Padua on 25 April 1602 and returned to London, taking his Cambridge MD in that same year. Two years later he married Elizabeth Browne, daughter of Dr Lancelot Browne, onetime physician to Queen Elizabeth. In 1607, he became a Fellow of the College of Physicians and in 1609 began his long association with St Bartholomew's Hospital, on appointment as assistant physician.

If you could have asked president Hoover about the plight of bank failure victims, what would you ask?
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Mr. President, considering the fact that the welfare of the citizens is the government's primary responsibility and a huge financial breakdown such as the one the citizens have just experienced can have a devastating effect on the economy and impact negatively on your leadership, don't you think the poor affected citizens deserve some intervention from the government?

Explanation:

From the excerpt, it is clear that the financial crash in the United States Stock market was caused by the greed of investors. However, there were still some hardworking citizens who merely saved their hard-earned monies in the banks, but lost them when the banks closed up. Definitely, they deserved some help from the government.

President Hoover's belief that it was not the function of the government to regulate businesses was flawed as it would be wrong for the government to simply sit by and watch the economy crash.
