Answer:

Europe's climate is poor for growing crops and it is why Europe colonized other areas of the world - False

Europe's climate and geography is actually very good for growing crops, and most of the continent is very fertile, except for a few areas in Northern and Southern Europe.

Europe conquered other lands mainly in order to extract resources that it could not obtain in the continent: gold, silver, and tropical cash crops.

Europe does not have a lot of access to water - False

This is false because Europe is a large peninsula that has a lot of gulfs, bays, inner seas, and peninsulas. This is why Europe has many ports, and many coastal cities, and why trade flourished relatively early in the European continent.

Which of the following is one area that geography plays a roll in the history of Europe - Middle East

The Middle East geography has influenced the history of Europe because it borders the European continent.

From the Middle East, agriculture spread to Europe in what is known as the Neolithic Revolution. From the Middle East, many trade networks also spread to Europe, specially from Egypt and Anatolia.

There are 50 fully recognized sovereign states in Europe - True

Europe has exactly 50 fully recognized sovereign states in Europe, in addition to several partially recognized states like Kosovo, Northern Cyprus, and Transnistria.
