Portuguese Arrive UAE SST

The flag belongs to Portugal because it is the only country listed in the options that has "Portuguese" as its nationality.

Early Portuguese explorers were trying to find a new trade route to India by sea. This was motivated by the desire to bypass the Ottoman Empire's control over the land routes to Asia and establish direct trade relations with India. The Portuguese hoped to gain access to valuable spices, silk, and other goods from the East, which would be profitable for their country. This led to the exploration and eventual establishment of maritime trade routes between Portugal and India, contributing to the Age of Discovery and the expansion of European influence in the East.

Vasco-de-Gama is the correct answer because he was the explorer who first sailed around Africa in order to reach Asia by water. He successfully reached India in 1498, opening up a direct sea route to Asia and establishing Portugal as a major maritime power.

European explorers were sent to the New World for gold, land, and to convert native people to Christianity. This can be seen through the historical context of the Age of Exploration, where European powers sought to expand their wealth and influence through colonization. Gold and land were valuable resources that could be exploited for economic gain, while spreading Christianity was a religious and cultural mission. The conversion of native people to Christianity was seen as a way to civilize and assimilate them into European culture.

Bartholomeu Diaz is the correct answer because he was the Portuguese explorer who sailed to the Cape of Good Hope in 1488. He was the first European navigator to sail around the southernmost tip of Africa, opening up a sea route from Europe to Asia. This discovery paved the way for future explorers like Vasco de Gama to establish trade routes with India. Leif Erikson was a Norse explorer who is believed to have reached North America before Christopher Columbus, and William Caxton was an English printer and merchant.

The correct answer is c. All of the above were outcomes. This means that all the options listed (map development, new land and trade routes, fun and entertainment) are outcomes of exploration.
