As a means of recording the passage of time, the 15th century was the century which lasted from 1401 to 1500. Spanish and Portugese explorations led to discovery of the Americas and the sea passage along Cape of Good Hope to India for the European civilization. After this discoveries, transportation increased between all continents of the earth. The Papacy was split in two parts in Europe for decades, until the Council of Constance. Tamerlane established a major empire in the Middle East and Central Asia, in order to revive the Mongolian Empire. The Inca Empire rose in prominence in South America. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by AIM - Tue Jan 6 12:48:41 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Columbus and Dead Reckoning (DR) navigation At the end of the fifteenth century, celestial navigation was just being developed in Europe, primarily by the Portuguese. Prior to the development of celestial navigation, sailors navigated by "deduced" (or "dead") reckoning, hereafter called DR. This was the method used by Columbus and most other sailors of his era. In DR, the navigator finds his position by measuring the course and distance he has sailed from some known point. Starting from a known point, such as a port, the navigator measures out his course and distance from that point on a chart, pricking the chart with a pin to mark the new position. Each day's ending position would be the starting point for the next day's course-and-dista [cont.] Answered by sanddancer - Tue Jan 6 12:56:08 2009 In the 15th century how did Spain acquire rights to explore the new world? My eyes are falling out of my head? Q. I can't read anymore I've been reading for 4 hours- and my eyes are about to close. Thanks yeah, my teacher is a bit of a dork, I see no point in asking this question Asked by seoreh - Sun Jun 7 23:11:47 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Spain didn't need any 'rights' or 'permission'. Like any other European country, they simply went out exploring and ignored the fact that there was already an existent culture and population. Answered by old lady - Sun Jun 7 23:21:52 2009 Atheists, do you view Christians the same way they viewed the natives of the New World in the 15th century?
Q. As primitive savages with no understanding of the "true" nature of life? Would the natives have been better off keeping their ritual human sacrifices instead of learning about Jesus? Would the Christians be better off keeping their savior, instead of learning about reality without supernatural beings, and the finality of death? In other words, should we learn from history and leave them content in their ignorance? Asked by LimeNinja get this thing off me! - Wed Dec 17 04:01:41 2008 - - 19 Answers - 0 Comments A. Just what "natives" are you talking about? The Mayans and Inca did perform human sacrifices, and maybe the Anasazi (we don't know much about them), but the majority of the AmerIndian tribes did not do any kind of blood sacrifices. They had more understanding of life than most of the Christians ever will. But yes, you provided an excellent analogy. Remember their slogan "One way?" that is also an excellent analogy. Like a horse with blinders they can see only what is in front of them. Sorry if I sound rude, but this struck a nerve!
