Answer:

According to the Eiriks saga, Erikson sailed off course on his return to Greenland and landed in North America. He called the region where he landed Vinland after the wild grapes that grew in abundance there and the general fertility of the land.

Explanation:

Around the year 1000 A.D., Leif sailed from Greenland to Norway to visit the home of his grandfather. There he served in the court of King Olaf I Tryggvason, who converted him from his Norse religion to Christianity.

The second of the three sons of Erik the Red, the first colonizer of Greenland, Leif sailed from Greenland to Norway shortly before 1000 to serve among the retainers at the court of Olaf I Tryggvason, who converted him to Christianity and commissioned him to urge that religion upon the Greenland settlers.

1)What can you infer from the maps regarding who is responsible for determining Africa’s political borders?
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

1. This 1888 map of Africa could be called a map of African colonization by foreign powers, with Europeans controlling most colonies. So, Africa´s borders in the late 19th century were determined according to European colonial interests, they were limits separating colonies, not countries.

2. African colonial-era boundaries were artificial divisions that didn´t take into account local ethnicity, culture and local inhabitants´needs. They only served the selfish purposes of colonial masters. This is why there have been many border, religious and ethnic conflicts after African nations won independence.

frozen [14]

Answer:

Routine activities theory.

Explanation:

Marcus Felson and Lawrence E. Cohen developed the Routine activities theory to explain the ecological process of the crime or situation of the crime thus diverting the study of criminology from just the mere offenders. They used this theory to explain the crime in the United States in the period following World War two where the economy is booming. Therefore they relate the occurrence of crime to the more opportunities provided than merely in social problems of poverty, unemployment, etc.
