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.

How was geographic location important to economic,social,And political development of Ancient Rome?
Lilit [14]

The Roman Empire had excellent strategic location, having numerous peninsulas, surrounding all of the Mediterranean Sea, and having its central power i the middle, thus safe.

Explanation:

The Roman Empire, at its peak, was stretching in the Apennine, Iberian, and Balkan peninsulas, Western Europe, Britain, the Mediterranean coastline of Northern Africa and the Middle East, and Anatolia. Not just that the territory was vast, but it had huge advantages, especially when it came to economy and military conquests or defense. Pretty much all of the empire was surrounded by natural protective features, such as large bodies of water, large rivers, mountain ranges etc.

This led to the Roman Empire to be able to control the entirety of the trade in the Mediterranean, thus all of the regions that were surrounding the empire as well, as everything had to go through them. That brought in lot of wealth to the empire. Having its capital and home territory in the middle, with the power concentrated in it, contributed to preservation and spreading out of the Roman culture.

The social impact on the Apennine Peninsula was not big, but the social impact on all of the rest of the empire was huge. Not just that the Romans were imposing their culture, language, and law, but lot of people wanted themselves to be Romanized as they saw it as advantage. The politics in Rome were unique, as it had a bicameral legislature, which in turn led to development of much more reliant, but also controlled government.
