Question

which of the following best suggests why the portuguese did not try to make as many colonies in asia as the spanish did in the western hemisphere? (1 point) the portuguese did not believe in taking things by force. the portuguese saw the people in asia as their equals. the roman catholic church told europeans not to make colonies. because of their experiences with the silk road, the portuguese knew asia had many places they wanted to trade with, which was one of their main goals.

Explanation:

The Portuguese were more interested in trade - based relationships in Asia due to their Silk Road experiences. They aimed to establish trading posts rather than large - scale colonies like the Spanish in the Western Hemisphere. The other options are inaccurate as the Portuguese were not averse to force, did not see Asians as equals, and the Catholic Church did not prohibit colonization.

Answer:

Because of their experiences with the Silk Road, the Portuguese knew Asia had many places they wanted to trade with, which was one of their main goals.
