Why are rivers and fertile land so important that Columbus described them in such detail?

History
1 answer:
GrogVix [38]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Between 1492 and 1504, Italian explorer Christopher Columbus led four Spanish-based transatlantic maritime expeditions to the Americas, a continental landmass which was virtually unknown to and outside of the Old World (Afro-Eurasia). These voyages to America led to the widespread knowledge of its existence. This breakthrough inaugurated the period known as the Age of Discovery, which saw the colonization of the Americas, a related biological exchange, and trans-Atlantic trade. These events, the effects and consequences of which persist to the present, are sometimes cited as the beginning of the modern era.

1. What is one possible positive consequence of Japanese isolation that Hall points out?
Ainat [17]

1. One possible positive consequence of Japanese isolation that Hall points out is that it ensured peace for the country, and allowed it to develop its political and economic institutions without foreign influence, which was a large problem at the time for developing countries. Foreign influence often inhibited development of developing countries, so closure prevented this.

2. The main fear which caused the shogun to close Japan to the West was the growing influence of Christianity, and the effect it would have on Japan's political world. Christianity is predominantly a Western religion, and having that sort of Western influence upon a developing country could have detrimental effects on the country, like political division.

3. Spain's activities in the Philippines served as a warning to the Japanese by showing them that by sending missionaries to a country and converting the populous, you could essentially take over the country. This inclined the Japanese government to institute new policies that would prevent missionary activity in the country, by forbidding Spain, as well as Portugal, from visiting the country.

What did Rockefeller do during the depression
Anton [14]
Of course, John D. Rockefeller lost a little money during the Great Depression but he was still a billionaire. He had stock and other assets which lost value but he held on to them until they recovered their value. 

<span>John D. Rockefeller is an interesting person. He could compartmentalize business and personal like a mobster. He was absolutely ruthless in business. He drove competitors out of business with unfair practices like demanding kick-backs from railroads. One competitor he put out of business was affiliated with one of his brothers. That brother never talked to John D ever again. John D's son was to take over his business, but when he saw the tactics regularly employed, he begged off. </span>

<span>But personally, John D was quite generous. He would carry around a roll of dimes and hand the coins to everyone he met. Also, the Rockefellers were quite frugal. One of John D's other brothers worked with him and he became rich but obviously not nearly as rich. That brother led a more opulent life style than John D and his family. The Rockefellers should say things like "We're not the Vanderbilts" when in fact the Rockefellers had much more money than the Vanderbilts or anyone else. </span>

<span>But all in all, due to his business practices, I would have to say that John D. Rockefeller was an odious character.</span>
