Why haven't europeans used maritime routes before the age of exploration? a) they feared that the muslims controlling portugal and spain made maritime routes unsafe. b) they didn't have ships in navigation skills to travel around africa to asia. c) they focus on exploring europe for gold, silver, and other precious metals. d) they were interested only in trading with other european nations.

The correct answer is 2. They didn't have the ships and navigation skills to travel around Africa to Asia.

The Age of Exploration was only possible as a result of new technology, that is, the inventions of new ships such as caravels or the extensive research of navigation by individuals like Prince Henry the Navigator. These two factors allowed explorers to count on further reliable means of transportation and a better understanding of the geography as well as conditions they would face during their expeditions.

the ss was the main organization responsible for the genocidal murder of around six million people of european ethnic minorities, essentially jews, in the holocaust. the members of all its branches committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during the second world war (1939-1945). likewise, the ss were involved in commercial enterprises and exploited the inmates of the concentration camps as slave laborers.

the tortures and assassinations committed by the ss were the result of an ideology developed long before the armed conflict, this ideology was based on the racial supremacy of the germans over the rest.
