Why were the Aztecs careful to treat Cortés as a god?

History

Vikki [24]3 years ago

Hernando Cortes was at first believed by Montezuma (Aztec Emperor) to be Quetzalcoatl the Aztec god himself. Not only did Cortes arrive in "giant ships" and riding "iron clad demons" (War Horses), but he also wore armor and had much more knowledge of the world than the Aztecs who hadn't met any Europeans before Cortes. Montezuma also did not want to provoke a war with Cortes so he was especially careful to treat him with the utmost respect.

Unfortunately Cortes regarded the fascinating civilization of the Aztecs as a land of savages and had only come to search for the rumored (El Dorado/City Of Gold) that was rumored to exist in Latin America. He killed almost all the Aztecs in a unfair war (including Montezuma) and took over the ruined empire as a colony for Spain.

The National Liberation Front (NLF), was originally formed by the North Veitnam as the National Front for the Liberation of the South for the purpose of achieving similar success of Viet Minh, the total nationalist organization that successfully liberated Vietnam from French colonial rule.

However, the United States generally considered the NLF the “Viet Cong,” a short version of Viet Nam Cong San which translates to Vietnamese Communists.

How were the mayflower compact and house of burgesses important to self government?
kogti [31]
Virginia company struggled to attract settlers but its population grew dramatically so in 1619 the house of burgesses became America’s first legislative, or law-making body.
When the pilgrims decided to set sail for America in September 1620, 2 months later they reached land and the pilgrims signed the mayflower contract agreeing to make laws to protect the general good.
So to answer your questions, I believe these two occasions are important to self-government because the colonies are learning to be sufficient.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:  The correct answer is  :  b. served in the military and worked in war production.

Explanation:  During the Second World War the government of the United States needed the help of the Navajo Indians. Given the need to create a secret military code that was not deciphered by the Japanese, the language of the Navajo Indians was used and code words were used since they did not have in their language many terms used in the war. 200 Navajo Indians were enlisted to act as key announcers.
