Answer:

There is a lot of controversy as to whether these explorers should be called heroes due to some of their actions towards the indigenous people in the regions they supposedly "discovered". Christopher Columbus was responsible for the ra-pe, murder, enslavement of thousands of natives on the island of Hispaniola. Many died from smallpox spread to them by the crew.

They sold little girls and forced the natives to mine for gold or die. Over 50k committed mass sui-cide to avoid being killed or enslaved by the Spaniards.

Hispanola had approximately 300k inhabitants when he landed there. Within two years 100k were dead, in the next 50 years the number was down to 300. Each of these men has their own stories of treatment towards the people in the lands they explored. That is why there is question as to whether they should be considered heroes. The question just wants your opinion on the subject.

Which widely used system of government did ancient Greece contribute to the modern world?
diamong [38]

Answer:

Democracy

Explanation:

Democracy is a social organization in which political control is exercised by the people. It is a system of government that results from the free choice of rulers, which is expressed by the union and will of the majority of the governed, confirmed by votes.

The concept of democracy emerged in Ancient Greece in 510 BCE, when Cliestenes, a progressive aristocrat, led a rebellion against the last tyrant, overthrowing him and initiating reforms that implanted democracy in Athens.

This concept contributed much to the construction of the modern world we know.

What does the map tell you about sources of water in Mongolia?
svetlana [45]

According to the map, you can see that there is hardly any water source in Mongolia, but they do have some sources of water in the North-West region, but the people that are not near those water sources have no water. What this map tells you is that Mongolia has a hard time getting supplied with water, or they don't have a lot of places to get water. The people of Mongolia would have to get their water from other countries through trades of purchase.
