Hey there!
To understand the Space Race, you must first understand the Cold War.
The Cold War wasn't really a War - in some views, it was just a competition. The US and the USSR were the largest superpowers the world had ever known - they had the most weapons, money, and power, ever. The US and the USSR were engaged in an arms race initially and were each racing to get the most nuclear weapons.
That was until the Soviet Union launched the Sputnik. The US could not let the USSR get control of space, and in 1969, launched the Apollo 11 to combat the USSR who had recently put the first man in space - by putting the first man on the Moon.
In my opinion, even though it was a competition, it was worth it. Think about it- would we have sent a man to the Moon afterward without all that pressure? Even nowadays, we would not have discovered what we already discovered without it and would not have sent any more rockets. Despite the cost, it has benefitted and will continue to benefit us in the long run.
Hope this helps!
Some liked the new people, some did not. Some Natives saw this as an opportunity to trade. Some battled with the conquistadors. They were confused because they had not seen someone with the skin color of the conquistadors. The conquistadors also brought along diseases with them which killed many, and made much more ill.
The religious upheavals consequences of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries had very big impact on the people's live in Europe. Numerous conflicts emerged between the Catholics and Protestants, and that resulted in persecution, forced migration, lot of death. The Catholic Church was losing its power in multiple countries, and the Protestants were gaining more power, becoming dominant in those same countries. The tensions in Europe because of the religion led to migration of religious groups to the New World. The reason for migration toward the New World was that the church didn't really had any significant power there, and also there was plenty of space for creating communities, thus leave in peace and without fear.
A is the answer hope that helps
