Answer:

There were two causes that fostered maritime exploration sponsored by European states: on the one hand, mercantilism, and on the other, the spread of Islam in the Middle East.

Mercantilism was based on the fact that the economic well-being of states consisted of stocks of gold and silver. The theory assumed that the total wealth of a business is unchangeable, so that the profit of one signifies the inevitable loss of another. According to the theory, governments should have effective economic control by promoting the export and accumulation of precious metals, while reducing imports, especially through the use of excise duties. Thus, European nations began to promote maritime explorations, with the aim of finding new territories to exploit economically, as well as establishing new trade routes where to locate their products and generate greater wealth.

On the other hand, the expansion of Islam and the control of the Middle East by the Turks made the European nations have to look for new alternative routes to carry out trade, thus promoting the exploration of the seas.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The ancient China took about 40 years to stabilize under the Qing Dynasty, following the fall of the Ming Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty used the following methods in expanding its territories;

Military expansions and campaigns.

Chinese immigrations into surrounding empires.

Demanding Chinese silk in trade between China, Europe and Middle east.

The Songhay King used indigenous animist religion to strike fear into his enemies.

To generate revenue, the Aztec rulers improvised an economical strategy of extracting resources from conquered lands and peoples. Some city states were merged into few provinces-rendering raw materials and manufactured goods readily available through local production and trade.

To stabilize and legitimize their rule, Aztec rulers directed for a direct interference with the rulership of subject city states. These conquered city states became more tightly controlled by their overlords. The incorporation of these subjects into the empire was often facilitated by removing the vanquished  city state rulers and replacing them with a trusted imperial relative, sometimes as interim governors.

Another way that the Aztec empire solidified its rule was through the indirect or hegemonic rule. In this case, the rulers of the conquered city states were left in power so long as they agreed to pay semi-tribute to the Alliance with the Aztec empire, as well as supply military forces when needed by the Aztec empire. In return, the Aztec imperial power offered protection and political stability as well as facilitating an integrated economic network.
