The answer :
- The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), signed on Oct. 30, 1947, by 23
countries, was a legal agreement minimizing barriers to international trade by eliminating or
reducing quotas, tariffs, and subsidies while preserving significant regulations. The GATT
was intended to boost economic recovery after World War II through reconstructing and
liberalizing global trade.
The GATT went into effect on Jan. 1, 1948. Since that beginning it has been refined,
eventually leading to the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on January 1,
1995, which absorbed and extended it. By this time 125 nations were signatories to its
agreements, which covered about 90% of global trade.

- The astrolabe was used to determine latitude by measuring the angle between the horizon and
Polaris, also called the North Star, the Pole Star, or Stella Maris (Star of the Sea). Polaris was
the preferred star for measuring latitude because it is less than one degree from the north
celestial pole (the point in the heavens directly above the geographic north pole).
