D. the sinking of the British ocean liner, <em>Lusitania.</em>
When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the <em>Lusitania </em>in May, 1915, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship.
As an example of American feeling after the <em>Lusitania </em>incident, consider the reaction of Gifford Pinchot. He had been the Chief of the US Forestry Service (from 1905 to 1910) , and was quoted in the New York Times in May, 1915, after he had just recently returned from Europe. He asserted that Americans on the<em> Lusitania</em> (along with other passengers) were killed because an autocratic military empire was trying to dominate nations that were self-governing. His characterization of German intentions would mirror how President Woodrow Wilson later called on the USA to enter the war to "make the world safe for democracy."
The attitudes of the Spaniards toward the Aztec rebellion, according to the criteria of Lopez de Gómara were of consternation, and disdain, as he opposed the Mexican rebellion.
<h3>Why Spaniards had these sentiments against Aztecs?</h3>
In his text, Gómara referred to the Indians in Tenochtitlán as a "beast" just because they were very different from the Spaniards.
Native Indians did not wear the clothes Spaniards wore. Indians did not have horses for daily chores.
Gómora said that Aztecs were ignorant people. They had no education and did not have currency, so necessary for economic transactions.
He also said Indians were sinners because they did not believe in the one and only god. Indians worshiped many gods.
He was comparing a different society with the European society of the time. It means that Indians lived a totally different life in contact with and respect for mother nature. Something the Spaniards and Europeans would never understand in North America or South America.
We conclude that López de Gómara opposed the Mexican rebellion and described the Indians with consternation and disdain. Europeans never tried to understand the circumstances of the Native Indians.
