In your opinion, did Columbus discovered the West Indies? Discuss why.

History
1 answer:
irakobra [83]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

In my opinion Columbus did discover the west indies because the definition it states "Discover means to find (something or someone) unexpectedly or in the course of a search." never in the definition does it mention in order to "discover" something you have to be the first one to find it or be the first one to come across such and such. I see why some people might disagree but if it were in terms of if Columbus founded the west indies I would have a completely different opinion because there were people their before he was "there were already people living there. The Taino and Carib were the largest groups in the region when Columbus arrived in 1493. ..." The definition of founded is "establish or originate (an institution or organization), especially by providing an endowment." which would confirm he ONLY discovered and didn't found the west indies when both definitions are juxtaposed this is made clear.

What factors attracted the spanish to mexico
raketka [301]
More than anything, the Spanish were seeking wealth.
Christopher Columbus himself thought that he had reached India: he wanted the wealth from the trade with Indians.

In the beginning, the Spanish hoped for Gold and Silver, later also for other products that could be made cheaper in the New World.

In short: the Spanish were not interested in Mexico but in what the ships could bring from Mexico (again, mostly gold).

Some, very few Spaniards, who settled in the New World were too unhappy in Europe and hoped for a better life.

Where is the spacecraft in the Apollo 13 mission when the signal is lost?
Katen [24]

Answer:

The splashdown of Apollo 13 is only a little over an hour away, and the spacecraft is now down to the final component that remains, the Command Module. The damaged Service Module is gone, as is the Lunar Module Aquarius that successfully supported them all the way back from the Moon.

Please give me a heart.

The Netherlands. 

Reason: New York was originally named "New Amsterdam" when the Dutch arrived to the U.S. However, all of it changed when the British took control and named the state "New York" (named after the Duke of York).
