How did technology and able European explorers to navigate to the New World
Actually, the correct answers are A and B.
During the Age of Discovery, European explorers sailed across the Atlantic Ocean for several reasons:
A. European explorers tried to find oceanic routes to Asia to trade for spices. The Ottoman Empire controlled the land routes to Asia, making it difficult for Europeans to access valuable spice trade from regions like India and the Spice Islands. As a result, European countries like Portugal and Spain sought alternative sea routes to establish direct trading relationships with these regions.
B. European explorers wanted to gain wealth and notoriety. Explorers hoped to find new territories that could be exploited for resources such as gold, silver, precious stones, and other valuable goods. They were also motivated by the desire for fame and recognition, as successful explorers were celebrated and honored by their home countries.
Regarding options C and D, C is not applicable as the Carolingian dynasty belonged to the early Middle Ages and didn't exist during the Age of Discovery. Option D is also incorrect as European explorers were not sailing across the Atlantic with the aim of claiming new lands for the Byzantine Empire, which was primarily focused on defending itself against the Ottomans in the eastern Mediterranean.
Therefore, the correct answers are A and B.
BAd
I disagree.
The "Byzantine Empire" was inhabited in the middle ages! Did you do any research of the Carolingian dynasty? I suggest you do. I think it is A and B. If you don't know, maybe check your book?
