What were the 3 main reasons for European exploration?
Answer:
1. Economic Motives
2.Religious Proselytizing
3.Prestige
Explanation:
1. The primary motives of European explorers were economic. The supply of precious metals was finite, and monarchs hoped to find large deposits of gold and silver in the Americas. Aside from the possibility of treasure, the European governments aimed to find a passage through the Americas to Asia. Their hope was for a faster, safer trip to the Indies, avoiding dangerous waters and marauding pirates. Sailing west to reach the Indies also would avoid Arab middlemen in trade, meaning the merchants would have paid far less in trade costs. The discovery of new peoples also opened up the possibilities for an entirely new trading sphere.
2. The European explorers of the 16th century were primarily Christian. These individuals and their sponsors in Europe were concerned with spreading Christianity to the indigenous peoples of the New World. These Europeans believed that it was their responsibility to minister to the uneducated "savages" they encountered. Spanish adventurer Hernan Cortes, also known as Hernando Cortes, was among the explorers who felt it was his duty to bring others into the fold of the Catholic church.
3. Much like modern countries, nations in 16th century Europe sought to be first or best at every endeavor. Each European state wanted to be the first to explore, discover or bring items back from new and exotic places. If a country discovered a new route to the Far East, that nation also would control trade through that route. This would result not only in monetary gain, but also in the power and prestige of being the ruler of the area.
3. The borders of the Persian Empire extended from the ________River in India to the ________River in Egypt.
Answer and Explanation:

why did the Ghandi-Jinnah Talks failed in 1944?
Answer:
By the autumn of the year 1944 the situation in British India had reached to a critical level. The Second World War was raging full tilt in most parts of the world. India was itself in real peril of an invasion by imperialist Japan. By that time the war had caused a debilitating strain on Great Britain’s resources and her financial reserves were all but depleted. Indian natives belonging to all communities and groups viewed the unfolding historical drama with increasing anxiety that arose from their feelings of uncertainty for their future. Fate had placed their imperial masters in the very discomfiting position of asking their subjects for help in routing another imperial adversary. However, time and circumstances could not allow an indulgent reflection on this historical irony for the colonial subjects of India. Especially for the Indian leaders time was of the essence as here was an opportunity to strike while the iron was hot. But just as England needed the Indians, so the Indians needed England, which despite its indisposition was nevertheless the only empire left which could bring some semblance of order to the global upheaval that threatened to lead to total destruction. Now this equilibrium of need allowed for negotiations between Indian politicians and the British as to the future of India. By this time Indian leaders throughout the political spectrum were demanding complete self-rule. Indian society was fast agitating against the patronizing and condescending hegemony of their colonial masters and ached to break free from the shackles of foreign subjugation. But the fate of India could not be decided by one community or social group alone. India was home to the world’s most diverse ethnic, linguistic and religious population. Indeed it was the British who had united this land through a long and usually violent process of consolidation. In the century since the complete conquest of India by England, nationalist feelings had started to take shape among the natives which was encouraged by the British for very pragmatic reasons. The territorial consolidation of India however favoured some more than others. In the new colonial India, Hindus found themselves in the enviable position of being the community having the biggest strength in sheer numbers. In contrast Muslim nationalism arose from feelings of shared loss and fall from grace they enjoyed as the ruling culture in the lands now occupied by the British. Thus two distinct nationalist currents dominated the intellectual climate in India and both were simultaneously shaping the consciousness of Hindu and Muslim communities.
Now that India seemed to be slipping fast from the grasp of the British Raj, the leaders of both Hindu and Muslim communities, each of which by that time had clear visions of the aspirations and goals of their respective constituencies, needed to find a common-ground so that freedom from colonial rule could finally be achieved. To clarify the picture let us examine the positions of the parties that held the keys to India’s destiny. There were three prime stake-holders in the political landscape of India. These were the principal parties that had the most to gain or lose from the critical decisions that would shape the course of India’s history. A brief summary of their position and concerns is outlined below.
His Majesty’s Government (H.M.G):
Besieged on all fronts and running fast towards bankruptcy, the British position in India was further complicated by growing resentment among the native population. Lord Wavell, the viceroy in India, in a letter to the Secretary of State for India, summarized the British position in this way “With a lost and hostile India, we are likely to be reduced in the east to the position of commercial bag-man.”1 He went on to write “The Congress and the League are the dominant parties in Hindu and Muslim India, and will remain so… We cannot by-pass them, and shall be compelled in the end to negotiate with them along with representatives of the less important parties.”1
How did Hitler’s rule in Nazi Germany exemplify totalitarian rule?
That is a prompt its supposed to be an essay
Answer:
he main purpose and goal of the Nazi revolution was to establish a Volksgemeinschaft. Its creation required the purification and increase of the German “race” as well as its biological separation from the Jews, whose infusion of evil into the German bloodstream, the Nazis said, served to pollute and undermine Germany’s well-being. Nazi efforts to purify the German race gained an air of scientific respectability from the pseudoscience of eugenics, the racial hygiene movement that flourished widely in the early decades of the 20th century. Nazi leaders spoke of their efforts to “reconstruct the German race.” The Law for the Protection of Hereditary Health (July 14, 1933) allowed for the eventual sterilization of as many as two million people deemed unworthy of propagating. The Marriage Subsidy Law of July 1933 aimed to stimulate the birth rate by granting loans to newly married couples; these loans would be forgiven incrementally with the birth of each additional child. The Nazi idealization of mothers and the celebration of motherhood as a special service to the Reich had the same objective. Hitler spoke of an eventual doubling of the German population through these measures. The most notorious of the steps taken to purify the German race was also a milestone in the anti-Jewish legislation promulgated by the Nazis: the infamous Nürnberg Laws of September 1935, which forbade marriage or sexual relations between Jews and Germans and assigned to Jews a lower class of citizenship.
Answer:
The extent to which Nazi Germany was a totalitarian state can be classed as to a substantial amount. With Hitler as Fuhrer and his ministers in control of most aspects of German social, political, legal, economical, and cultural life during the years 1934 to 1939, they mastered complete control and dictation upon Germany. In modern history, there have been some governments, which have successfully, and others unsuccessfully carried out a totalitarian state. A totalitarian state is one in which a single ideology is existent and addresses all aspects of life and outlines means to attain the final goal, government is ran by a single mass party through which the people are mobilized to muster energy and support.

Speculate as to why men might have continued working in the packing houses under such conditions. Why do you think they didn’t seek other employment, or seek to unionize at this point?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Speculate as to why men might have continued working in the packing houses under such conditions. Why do you think they didn’t seek other employment, or seek to unionize at this point?
I can speculate and said that these men worked in those meat packaging companies in Chicago because they had the necessity and that was the only type of job they were able to do because they lacked the preparation and education to perform other kinds of jobs.
So when people have a necessity -and in this case to survive and make a daily living- they accept any kind of job, no matter the difficulties.
I think they didn’t seek other employment, or seek to unionize at this point because they did not have that vision. They lived by the day, They only thought of earning some money to feed their families. When people are working in these conditions and under these circumstances, they are only focused on the grind, not having the time and the consciousness to think beyond their basic needs. And that is a real pity.
Upton Sinclair is the author of the novel titled "The Jungle," written in 1906. In the novel, American journalist Upton Sinclair describes the horrible and unhealthy conditions of the meatpacking industry of America.
why did Thomas Jefferson doubted in buying the Louisiana territory?
The power of purchasing land, especially land as vast as the Louisiana Territory, was something that Jefferson wasn't sure was constitutional. Nowhere in the constitution does it say that the federal government has the power to buy land. Jefferson worried that the government was overstepping its boundary.
Also, Jefferson worried that the federal government may become too powerful. He was more in favor of states rights instead of having all of the power located with the central federal government. Despite these viewpoints, Jefferson did a number of acts as president that would tilt him toward federalism as opposed to anti-federalism. One such example would be the Embargo Act of 1807.

Why did Europeans want to explore other lands? How did Portugal gain an advantage in trading in comparison to other European nations? How did Russia's expansion differ from that of other European nations?
Answer:
Why did Europeans want to explore other lands?
They wanted to explore other lands because European nations were interested in finding new lands to trade with, or to establish new colonies from where to extract resources.
How did Portugal gain an advantage in trading in comparison to other European nations?
Because it had a favorable geographic position, in the southwestern most point of the European peninsula, facing the Atlantic Ocean. Portuguese explorers were the first to navigate around Africa, Asia, and to establish their own colonial trade ports in these continents.
How did Russia's expansion differ from that of other European nations?
Russia had very little access to the Atlantic Ocean, so it instead expanded eastward, conquering and colonizing Siberia. It also expanded northwards, establishing small cities in the Artic coast.

According to the passage, which of the following best describes city life during the 1920s?
Answer:
Tras el final de la Primera Guerra Mundial, se instituyó la Sociedad de Naciones, que nació con el fin de evitar que un conflicto de esa magnitud volviese a repetirse.
El Imperio ruso se convirtió en la Unión Soviética que, con la ideología marxista de Lenin, fue la primera nación del mundo gobernada por el «proletariado» tras la sangrienta Guerra civil rusa.
Estados Unidos prosiguió su rápido desarrollo económico que, sin embargo, se vio perturbado por la Gran depresión de 1929.
Alemania, asfixiada por las onerosas disposiciones del Tratado de Versalles, tenía su sistema financiero en la crisis más grande que conoció ese siglo, especialmente durante el periodo llamado Alemania de Weimar, mientras trataba de lograr una estabilidad democrática con la República de Weimar de la que Paul von Hindenburg era presidente. La situación en Francia no era mucho mejor, lo que propició el descontento social que se traduciría en una inestabilidad política permanente.
Japón extendía su presencia en Asia: primero se apoderó de Corea y luego se anexionó u ocupó regiones enteras de China. Además el Imperio de Japón se apoderó de las colonias alemanas en el Pacífico.
Las dictaduras también se expandieron por el sur de Europa: Mussolini en Italia, Salazar en Portugal, Primo de Rivera en España o Alejandro I en Yugoslavia.

The correct answer to this question is the following.
Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.
At the time of Missouri's admittance to the Union, there was another admittance to the union. It was the state of Maine.
So we can say that the admission of Maine into the Union at the same time as Missouri represented a significant provision of the Missouri Compromise to maintain the balance of slave states and non-slaves states. In other words, the slave-holding states and the free states of the Union wanted to maintain a balance of control and power in the representation in the Congress of the United States. These states knew that any imbalance regarding this issue could affect their political and economic interests.
So Main entered as a free slave state, meanwhile, Missouri entered as a slave state.
Answer: (A) a balance in Congress between free states and slave states.
