c) try to find new trade routes to Africa and Asia
Explanation:
Finding new trade routes to Africa and Asia is a good way to gain a competitive advantage over other European, rival states. This in fact what Portugal first, and later Spain, did during the later years of the 1400s.
The motivation was that the Ottoman Empire controlled the Eastern Mediterranean, and this prevented Western European nations from trading with East Asia and the Middle East with ease.
Portugal opted to look for new routes around Africa, and the Indian Ocean, while Spain decided to look for a new route throught the west, which led to the arrival of Columbus in the Americas in 1492.
Answer:
3. Expands the U.S. from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific ocean
Explanation:
In the 1800s, many hoped for a better life farther west. Exciting images persuaded people to make the tough journey. The painting “American Progress” is one example. It supports the idea of Manifest Destiny, a phrase first written in 1845 by journalist John L. O’Sullivan. O’Sullivan believed that God wanted Americans to expand their nation to the Pacific Ocean. Manifest Destiny means Obvious Purpose. Even though O'Sullivan wrote Manifest Destiny, the idea was already in existence.
