In what ways did Europeans owe some of their sailing technology to other peoples?
They used the astrolabe, which was perfected by the Muslims. They also used the compass, which was invented by the Chinese.
Why did Europeans begin exploring other lands?
Faster trade routes and to expand there territories! The explorers did it for favor of the crown among other benefits.
How did changes in the silk road force europeans to look for other ways to trade with Asia?
Traveling by land from Europe to China entailed avoiding robbers and soldiers from possible unfriendly nations. Sea travel was possible by sailing around the southern tip of Africa and then finding silk trading ports in India and China. For this reason a sailing route traveling west from Europe was a hope to find a better way to reach Asia.
When the Spanish encountered native peoples in the New World the main reason the Europeans dominated was .?
Europeans were able to dominate the Native Americans because they were mostly meeting with people who had a subsistence type of existence. They adjusted to changes in weather, over worked fields and other elements by moving from place to place. The European culture was more acquisitive, and the Europeans looked for ways and means to provide a consistent living through trade of furs and other commodities for things they needed for survival. Besides the basic seeds and stock, Europeans brought over items to sustain the early startup of their civilization. Europeans took over open lands that the Indians were not using seasonally, causing disruption in the lives of the natives.
Why did the europeans explore America?
Because these represented unknown, undeveloped lands that had no large populations or industry. The Americas had great potential for agriculture, mining, and other types of commercial developments. The Native Americans, isolated from the more developed areas of Europe and Asia, did not have the same level of technology, and did not own and use the land in the same way as Europeans did.
