Answer:
The question is related to Colombus' impressions about the discovered territory.
Colombus believed that the territory had great economic potential and that the land could be explored. He also said that exploration would be cheap, since it was possible to dominate the natives and force them to work in favor of the Spanish crown. Furthermore, he believed that it was necessary to convert the natives to Christianity.
Explanation:
When Colombus and his crew found the American continent, they were amazed by the extension of the territory, in addition to making sure that they found a land full of positive possibilities.
Colombus soon made sure to announce his discoveries and claimed to have found an extensive territory, with many trees, fruits, animals and several resources that would be very valuable to the crown. He stated that the land could be explored and that it had great potential. moreover, he stated that he met several natives, decivilized beings and with little intellectual capacity, but that could be catheterized, dominated and forced to serve the crown.
Heres an essay I made last year.
The first settlers of the 1600's came to Jamestown in search of new
land. This 17th century city was one of the few settlements that got us
where we are today. Another discovering colony was the Plymouth colony,
which discovered or founded the Americas. During these colonies
adventures to find new land for religious freedom, and adventure there
were many problems, failures, successes, and adventures that these
colonies had to take to find their new land.
The goal of the Jamestown settlers was a simple but easy one. They were out to find new land, adventure, gold, and spices.
But their trip was going to be a hard one, battling the seas;
starvation, disease, and even death were going to be problems on their
journey to America. As many as 100 people set out on the ship to find
new land. Some of the types of people on this ship were preachers,
carpenters, barbers, bricklayers, sailors, and many more. During their
adventure over the seas the settlers suffered from extreme starvation
and were forced to eat rats on the decks of the ship, leather from
shoes, and even wood after the food was completely emptied from the
ship. When the settlers first arrived at their new land they weren't
happily greeted, there were Indians that wanted to kill them, bugs that
swarmed over the land, and marshy areas that could not be used. But this
would all soon change when summer came around. Eventually the
temperature came warm, bugs died off, and there was peace made between
them and the Indians.
The Plymouth colony on the other hand, had an even better reason to
find new land; they were out for religious freedom and a new life. But
this would not be an easy task, for they too would also suffer from
disease, starvation, death and battling the seas in search of new land.
But when they arrived at Plymouth they were also unwanted by Indians. At
this new land they found, bug infested land, swampy areas, and the
Indians.
They endured years of battles started by Malay sultans who wanted to get rid of the Portuguese and reclaim their land.Malay forces and organized several attacks and blockades against the Portuguese's position. Frequent raids on Malacca caused the Portuguese severe hardship. In 1521 the second Demak campaign to assist the Malay Sultan to retake Malacca was launched, however once again failed with the cost of the Demak Sultan's life.
When you say "diversity" I think of many things. So I have many answers:
1. People. Different people farming, means different plants and animals
2. Planting Crops. Planting different crops can prevent soil erosion and or soil exhaustion.
3. On the market. Different crops and meats on the market provides consumers with different products and nutrients they may need.
Idk if this helps, there wasn't much detail. Hope it helps! ;)
