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

History

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.

Which texan leader was most in favor of annexation by the united states
Oxana [17]

While we can name many characters that were important in the process of annexing Texas to the United States, the name that stands out is Samuel Houston.

When the US Congress voted for the annexation of Texas at the end of February 1845, Mexico suspended its diplomatic relations with the US Union, warning that the annexation of Texas would be considered an act of war.

In Texas two political groups would be formed: a small portion, partisan of Texas independence, whose most important representatives were Anson Jones and Ashbel Smith; The other, more numerous and popular, was headed by Samuel Houston and was in favor of annexation to the United States.
