1. Cortes' motives to write about Tenochtitlan is very political in nature. Cortes is known to be a conquistador and it is in his great interests to have some form of power in this discovery. Seeing how wealthy Tenochtitlan is, he is awed and impressed at all the rare sights. He wrote embellished letters about Tenochtitlan to Charles the V to encourage the kingdom to conquer this great Aztec empire and probably provide him a very suitable rank or position as its discoverer.

2. He chose to write topics about food, houses, shops, and temples because it is what became prominent to him when he visited. These are the sights that he wants to enthrall the king with.

3. Ultimately, Cortes' intended audience is the King. King Charles the V is the one he wants to reach through his letters in high hopes that the king will be moved to conquer the Aztec empire of Tenochtitlan.

MrMuchimi
Justice is to do what is right , whereas mercy means forgiving someone. for example, if a criminal committed , he might have mercy and be given a second chance. but justice is what someone deserves so again a criminal can have what they deserve and be sentenced in prison which is serving justice.

ladessa [460]

Answer: The Babylonians took over the Fertile Crescent.

Explanation:

The Fertile Crescent is an area in the middle east that runs from the Persian Gulf and curves around Mesopotamia to include parts of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and northern Egypt.

This area is often hailed as the Cradle of Civilisation as the inhabitants pioneered Agriculture, literacy and other things.

Around 2000 BC, the late Babylonian Empire took over the Fertile Crescent thereby leading to an unprecedented rise in the power of the Babylonian Empire.

Their rule was further consolidated by great emperors like Hammurabi who is quite famous for his principles of law known as ''Hammurabi's Code''.

How did ida Tarbell work to shed light on economic inequality?
arlik [135]

Ida Tarbell (1857 – 1944) pertained to the generation of journalists called muckrackers, who investigated and denounced corruption and unethical practices perpetrated by businesses and government officials during the Progressive Era (late 19th century and early 20th century) in the US.

She published <em>"The History of the Standard Oil Company</em>"  in 1904 through which she set a precedent, and many others subsequently started to gather information and to denounce the abuses committed by companies with absolute market power (monopolies) or by trusts operating in olipolistic markets. The Sherman Antitrust Act had been recently passed in 1890 but firms had been able to freely limit competitiveness during the whole 19th century. Tarbell denounced the manner in which certain corporations gathered enormous fortunes by using anti-competitive practices, possible due to their dominant position in the markets, and also impeding others to participate on the profits of the industry.

Such monopolistic practices enlarged the inequality within the industry and also in the whole society where large fortunes started to appear while most people were humble factory workers who earned very modest salaries.
