Question

I need a thesis statement for my essay... the topic is the significance of the crusades, the reanaissance, the rise of absolute monarchs, and the commercial revolution and how they led to the discovery of america. Should I post my topic sentences??

Answer 1

If your essay must include the significance of all of those events on the European discovery of America, you'll need a general thesis statement that covers all of them.

Remember, though, that the Europeans didn't "discover" America. People from Asia had discovered the Americas about 10,000 years before. They were living here when the Europeans first learned of
these continents.
