Answer:
The correct answer is B. Chief Joseph wanted freedom for his people, the Nez Perce.
Explanation:
Chief Joseph was the leader of the Indian tribe Nez Perce. He was a supporter of peaceful relations with the Americans, but entered the history of the 19th century as one of the greatest military leaders of the Indians of North America.
After the death of his father in 1871, Joseph became a leader. In 1877, the government, under pressure from white settlers and gold miners, decided to evict the remaining Nez Perce in Idaho in the Wallow Valley. The task was entrusted to US Army General Oliver Howard. The general met with Joseph and other Nez Perce leaders in order to try to reach a peaceful settlement. But the negotiations were disrupted by a clash between several young Indians and some white settlers, with both sides suffering losses. Oliver Howard decided to act by force and began to prepare for a war with the Indians, which became known as the Nez Perce War.
He was defeated, but American military commander Nelson Miles promised the people of Joseph that they would be returned to Idaho to reserve the tribe, but the US government sent them to the Native American Territory. Chief Joseph traveled to Washington twice and did everything to help his people return to the north.
In 1897, Chief Joseph observed that white settlers began to settle on the free lands of the Colville Reservation. Local authorities did not pay attention to this, and he went to Washington. In the U.S. capital, he described the situation to President William McKinley and met with Nelson Miles and Oliver Howard, and in the late winter of 1903, Joseph again took a trip east and, accompanied by General Miles, met with President Theodore Roosevelt.
Chief Joseph died on September 21, 1904 at Colville Reservation, and on June 20, 1905 his remains were solemnly reburied.
Similarities:
Both empires emerged in the 14th and 15th centuries as postclassic civilizations building on the innovations of earlier political powers but expanding to greater extents
Both empires were entirely infantry, but well supplied, well-organized, and extremely aggressive and militaristic. Javelins, slings, spears and maces were used in battle.
Both empires had inherent instabilities
Both empires were fueled by corn.
Both empires have little to no seafaring, and instead stuck to the mountains and valleys in the center of the region.
Both empires conquered hundreds of cities in the region that resented their rule and taxation
Both empires were ended by Spanish invasions that capitalized on native divisions, introduced disease, and Spanish technology of guns, horses, and steel.
Both empires are misnamed-the Inka was the ruler of Tawantinsuyu, and the Aztecs adopted the name Mexica.
Both empires provided public education
Both Atahualpa and Moctezuma decided against confronting the Spanish militarily, allowing for the Spanish to take the Emperors hostage.
Attempts to restore the monarchy came after the capture and death of the emperor, but were too late.
Differences:
The Incas were bronze age, Aztecs were stone age
THe Incas assigned governors and shuffled conquered peoples around. There was a greater centralization than in Mexico
The Aztecs were a tributary empire, not a direct one.
The Aztecs had writing, while the Incas used Quipu
The Aztecs still had many rivals left unsubdued
The Inca used mostly potatoes while corn was far more dominant in Mexico.
The Inca had llamas, small but important livestock that made transport easier
The Inca had a sophisticated courier system of Chasquis along state-maintained roads
The Inca used bronze axes and halberds, with slings and maces as their main weapons alongside spears. The Aztecs used obsidian swords and glaives instead for close combat, and used javelins far more. Likewise, while Inca military relied on the unit’s experience and officer corps for their quality like the Romans, the Aztecs instead had a feudalistic division between the elite knights and commoners, with advancement by taking captives.
The Inca allowed women into their schools but not commoners. The Aztecs prohibited women but allowed for peasant men to also gain an education.
The diseases that destroyed the Incas came before the Spanish actually arrived in Peru, while the Spanish had been in Mexico for months before the plagues killed the emperor and populace.
Moctezuma’s mistake was trying to use generosity to awe the Spanish and try to coax them on his side, while Atahualpa’s was trying to awe them with his army rather than actually using it.
The Inca political crisis was a civil war between two brothers, while the Aztec’s was a three way duel between the King, the Priests, and the Aristocracy and military.
