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.

One way in witch the motives for the Arab spring and for the French Revolution are similar is that people wanted to
Ksenya-84 [330]
In both te Arab and France, commoners did not believe that they could live a better life and it took them years to realize this fact. In both the revolutions, common people got to know about the lifestyle of other people. The youth of both revolutions disagreed with their lifestyle and therefore, revolted. In both cases, there was high inflation and unemployment. Public speakings, pamphlets, magazines, newspapers were sources of information, in both the cases. The social, economic and political reasons were thus similar.

Describe copernicus' theory!
Yanka [14]
Copernican heliocentrism is the name given to the astronomical model developed by Nicolaus Copernicus and published in 1543. This model positioned the Sun at the center of the Universe, motionless, with Earth and the other planets orbiting around it in circular paths, modified by epicycles, and at uniform speeds. The Copernican model displaced the geocentric model of Ptolemy that had prevailed for centuries, which had placed Earth at the center of the Universe. Copernican heliocentrism is often regarded[by whom?] as the launching point to modern astronomy and the Scientific Revolution.

Heliocentric model from Nicolaus Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres)
Although he had circulated an outline of his own heliocentric theory to colleagues sometime before 1514, he did not decide to publish it until he was urged to do so late in his life by his pupil Rheticus. Copernicus's challenge was to present a practical alternative to the Ptolemaic model by more elegantly and accurately determining the length of a solar year while preserving the metaphysical implications of a mathematically ordered cosmos. Thus, his heliocentric model retained several of the Ptolemaic elements, causing inaccuracies such as the planets' circular orbits, epicycles, and uniform speeds,[1] while at the same time introducing such innovative ideas as:-

The Earth is one of several planets revolving around a stationary sun in a determined order.
The Earth has three motions: daily rotation, annual revolution, and annual tilting of its axis.
Retrograde motion of the planets is explained by the Earth's motion.
The distance from the Earth to the Sun is small compared to the distance from the Sun to the stars.
