What was the aim's of christopher Columbus's Voyages?
His aim was to open up a faster trading route to the Far East, because he thought that the lower estimates of the Earth's circumference were correct. At the time, there were wide variances in the estimates of the westward distance between Europe and China, and the latitude of China is the same as the Mediterannean. So without the intervening Americas, it would be a shorter trip than sailing around Africa. Later Spanish explorers eventually realized that they had not reached the East Indies, although the name "indian" had already been applied to Native Americans, who were similarly darker-skinned than Europeans.
What represents the belief used to justify westward expansion of America's borders in the 1800s Monroe Doctrine Manifest Destiny Adams-Onis Treaty or Missouri Compromise?
The belief in Manifest Destiny was used to justify westward expansion of America's borders in the 1800s. Before that, Britain made treaties with Native American Indians to keep whites on the eastern side of the Appalachian Mountains. Brits in the 1600s believed they owned "shore to shore" but the British had no idea how vast the land was that is now known as the Continental US (or the lower 48 states).
How do you Know Christopher Columbus really discovered America?
Well Columbus didn't the vikings did. Also the Native Americans but they lived in America. In lower grades text books and teachers would say that but as you go in higher grades you learn more the texts books for the higher grades then first and second grade teach you he did as you go in more higher the teach he didn't. If you want to make sure check text book. But Christopher didn't discover America.Christopher also got asserted when he went to Spain.
Who were Christopher Columbus' parents?
Right now many historians are not sure. A recent theory is that his name was either stolen from a man named Columbus or he made it up. The new theory points out that he was Spanish and not Italian, he wrote in Spanish, and he was married to a Noble Spanish woman. This theory also goes on to point out that it was possible that his family were politically against the King and the Queen and to get the funds for his trip he took on the persona of Columbus. When I read about this theory it made sense to me because a man who is a high noble would write in Spanish and be married to a woman of the same level. A man of a lower level wouldn't have these things. To determine he was Spanish they have taken bone fragments of his son and are doing DNA testing.
What would have happen if christopher Columbus had'NT discover America?
Spain had to go through the Mediterranean and then through the middle east and then through India to make it to china, so Spain wanted to find a new and easier way to trade with China. By traveling through such a large number of countries to the east the profits that the traders had decreased because they had to pay taxes to the separate countries which the traders passed through, and there were also bandits and raiders that would kill the traders and take their goods. Because of all this they encouraged Christopher Columbus to try and find a new way to the west...and then Columbus set sail on August 3rd with 3 ships ..... the Nina, the pinta, and the Santa Maria! Yeah! You got some info on Christopher Columbus!----That answer up top I think is wrong.The answer I think that is best to fit the question is''He decided to sail west to reach the Indies. Because the cost of shipping by water was lower, Columbus and his backers would make more money when their cargo was sold''.If this answer was right, You are welcome. If not I am deeply sorry.Both answers are correct
Why did Columbus travel westward at lower latitudes?
Columbus traveled westward because he followed the winds.
Are the wet tropical climate found primarily in the middle latitudes?
yes tropical wet climates are found primarily in the lower middle lattitudes.
What effect causes winds to turn westward in the lower northern hemisphere?
The Coriolis effect.
What direction does the ocean flow in the west coast of the lower U.S and upper Mexico?
westward
Why Columbus traveled westward at lower latitudes?
Columbus traveled westward at lower latitudes because he believed he could reach Asia by sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in a shorter distance. He underestimated the size of the Earth and did not account for the existence of the Americas, which ultimately led him to discover the New World while searching for a western route to reach Asia.

In which direction does the surface ocean current flow off the west coast of the lower US and upper Mexico?
westward
This effect causes winds to turn westward in the lower northern hemisphere?
The Coriolis effect is responsible for causing winds to turn westward in the lower northern hemisphere. This phenomenon is a result of the Earth's rotation, which deflects moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.
