The correct answer is B) The ships were at the mercy of the weather.

The explanation that best describes why the transatlantic journey of the Middle Passage took longer than the expected time in some instances is "The ships were at the mercy of the weather."

The Middle passage was the name given in the 16th century to the unhuman transportation of slaves from Africa to America. Historians believe that almost 12 millions of Africans were taken to be used as slaves in the Americas from the 16th century to the 19th century. This period in history is also known as the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The Middle passage was the second part of the slave trade that went from Europe to Africa (first leg), the Middle Passage (second leg) and the Americas to Europe (third leg). The ships had delays because they were at the mercy of the weather and during the trip, many slaves died due to the inhuman conditions.

zhenek [66]

Answer:

It allowed humans to create permanent settlements with the hope of a stable food supply. When people learned about agriculture, they become able to know that they can also get their food without hunting or searching fruits here and there. Along with this, people understood that they could stay in one place with one another without having any tension of food. This thinking was the major turning point in the development of humans, their societies, and their settlements. I know agriculture allows us to easily get food now rather than having to hunt and gather it. It also allowed people to focus on things they wanted like religion, government, art, etc.

How were napoleons invasion of Russia similar to Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union
qwelly [4]
Adolf Hitler's 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union met with many of the same disastrous consequences as Napoleon Bonaparte's previous 1812 summer invasion of the country then known as Russia.<span> Napoleon's attack on Russia, with what was most likely the largest armed force assembled in Europe up to that time, was virtually destroyed by the onset of the Russian winter's freezing temperatures, a lack of food supplies and successful Russian counterattacks. A similar fate befell Hitler's 1941 summer offensive against the Soviet Union when major miscalculations regarding the logistical challenges of the vast territory involved and the hostile Russian winter terrain led to crippling food and fuel shortages</span>

azamat

Answer:

The Treaty of Versailles has been criticized as a vindictive agreement that violated the spirit of Wilson's fourteen points. The harsh term hurt the German economy in the 1920's and contributed to the popularity of leaders such as Hitler who argued for the restoration of German honor through remilitarization.
