Hello!

I believe the answer is A) To trade for exotic goods.

Who wouldn't pass up basically free money?

I hope it helps!

The answer is going to be A. To trade for exotic goods.

The Europeans called islands near Asia the Indies, and there were legends about the goods that the people there traded; spices, better clothing, new food, etc. As a result, the Europeans sent out explorers to find the Indies. One of these explorers was Christopher Columbus, the "man who found America". This is why he called Native Americans "Indians".

I hope this helps!

the group i'm selecting: greeks.

a first group of greek immigrants came to the us in the 1850s. the second group came to america starting in the 1890s due to economic opportunities they didn't have back in their home caused by the hardships of ottoman rule. greek immigration was 90% male, many of them expected to work and return to greece after earning enough capital, but ultimately had to remain in the us after the greek genocide.
