Why did Europeans look to Africa and Asia?

History
1 answer:
Vilka [71]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Europeans first became interested in Africa for trade route purposes. They were looking for ways to avoid the taxes of the Arab and Ottoman empires in Southwest Asia. Sailing around Africa was the obvious choice, but it was a long voyage and could not be completed without “pit stops” along the way.

Answer:

D. England and France were fighting for control of the fur trade west of the Appalachian Mountains.

Explanation:

Both England and France wanted to control the territory west of the Appalachian Mountains, more specifically: the Ohio River Valley.

France considered the Ohio River Valley to be part of New France, and England considered it to be part of Virginia.

Both European powers not only wanted to control the fur trade in the area, but also wanted to clear land for future settlement.

Briefly explain Marx, Owen, and Adam Smith and how they connect to the different "isms”.
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

...“The father of modern economics supported a limited role for government. Mark Skousen writes in "The Making of Modern Economics", Adam Smith believed that, "Government should limit its activities to administer justice, enforcing private property rights, and defending the nation against aggression." The point is that the farther a government gets away from this limited role, the more that government strays from the ideal path... How this issue is handled will decide whether the country can more closely follow Adam Smith's prescription for growth and wealth creation or move farther away from it.”

Jacob Viner addressed the laissez-faire attribution to Adam Smith in 1928...

Here is a list of appropriate activities for government, which goes way, way beyond Mark Skousen’s extremely limited – and vague – 'ideal' government. That ... he goes on to attribute his ‘ideal’ list to Adam Smith ... is not alright.In fact, its downright deceitful, for which there is no excuse of ignorance (before attributing the limited ideal to Adam Smith we assume, as scholars must, that Skousen read Wealth Of Nations and noted what Smith actually identified as the appropriate roles of government in the mid-18th century).

How did the medieval Christian church limit and protect women
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Explanation:

Medieval era was very dominated by the Christian church.

The people took their beliefs very seriously, and they were more involved in the church than today. It was the part of their every day lifestyle. In that era, people usually gave up on their worldly life so they can become nuns and monks. That's how dominated and consumed by the church they were.

The church,  played a huge role in everyone's life in Medieval period. When it comes to women, their rights were limited, and Church played a big role in that limitation. The doctrine from the church considered in some way that both men and women have the same rights, that they are equal. But, women represented some kind of evil and they believed that they are more prone to committing a sin. That's where a male protector gets his role -- to guide them to the right path.

The minimum age for marriage was set, and also the punishment for both men and women if they committed some sort of crime. Only few women were able to get education, and some nuns became the right arms of the kings, and some of them became writers.
