History

Volgvan3 years ago

The answer to your question is really simple. If the Portuguese could not trade by land, they wanted to find an alternative route to Asia - WATER! Therefore, that's when the Exploration Age began. The Portuguese wanted to discover a water route to India and the West Indies to trade for spices.
You will see that explorers like Vasco da Gama and Bartolomeu Dias were famous navigators that attempted to do that.

Why did U.S. participation in the Iran-Contra Affair become a scandal?
erica [24]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Soon after taking control of Congress, the Democrats passed the Boland Amendment, which restricted the activities of the CIA and the Department of Defense in foreign conflicts.

The Amendment was specifically aimed at Nicaragua, where anti-communist Contras were battling the communist Sandinista government.

Reagan had described the Contras as "the moral equivalent of the Founding Fathers." But much of their funding, to that point, had come via Nicaragua's cocaine trade, hence Congress' decision to pass the Boland Agreement.

Still, the president instructed his National Security Advisor, Robert McFarlane, to find a way to assist the drug-dealing Contras, regardless of the cost-political or otherwise.
