Answer:

The British were celebrating christmas and were unprepared for battle.

Explanation:

On December 25, 1776, George Washington and the Continental Army crossed the Delaware River into New Jersey in an unexpected assault on the British. They had a conclusive triumph that helped turn the war back to the American's support.

It was the cold of winter. The breeze was blowing and it was snowing. On one side of the Delaware River, George Washington and the Continental Army stayed outdoors. On the opposite side, a British armed force of Hessian troopers held the town of Trenton. It was likewise Christmas and, with a frigid and perilous waterway between the two armed forces, it didn't seem to be multi day for battling. The Hessian troopers most likely idea the exact opposite thing the American Army would do was an assault in these awful conditions.

The aztec empire was destroyed because
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Explanation:

Here's a (very) brief summary of the fall of the Aztec empire, after the arrival of Hernando Cortes until the fall of Tenochtitlán (read a biography of Hernan Cortez here):

1519 (March 4): The Spaniards land in what is now Veracruz. The natives greet him with gifts. A contingent from Tenochtitlán also arrives with gifts. Cortes showed force and demonstrated his canons, terrifying the messengers.

Cortes sinks all the ships except one small vessel, and moves to the city-state of Tlaxcala. Generally speaking they begin on friendly terms.

The Spanish went on to Cholula. It's unclear what happened, but in the end many people in the city were killed by the Spanish. Read more about Cholula here.

1519 (Nov 8): Cortes and army arrives at Tenochtitlán, and begin on good terms. However, Cortes takes charge and demands tribute and some Roman Catholic shrines to replace the Aztec gods.

Cortes returns to the coast to defeat a rival Spanish army. The remaining soldiers join him.

The Aztecs revolt, driving the Spanish from the city. Cuitláhuac becomes emperor.

The Spanish go to Tlaxcala and make an alliance with them.

Most Aztec cities are conquered, and a siege of Tenochtitlán begins.

1521 (13 August): The last Aztec emperor, Cuauhtémoc, surrenders to Cortes.
