Complete the sentence about Manila galleon with the correct year: The trade using "Urdaneta's route" lasted until ______, when the Mexican War of Independence broke out.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 1815
The Manila galleons sailed between Manila and Acapulco, returning along Urdaneta's route through lower latitudes. This trade carried on until 1815, when the Mexican War of Independence broke out. The route is described as running from 1565 to 1815, so 1785, 1805 and 1807 would each have cut it short by at least eight years.
