Answer:
1. Moctezuma II welcomed the Spanish, thinking that Cortes was the human incarnation of the god Quetzalcoatl
2. Cortes and his man brought smallpox to the city of Tenochtitlan, killing many Aztec
3. Cortes established alliances with enemies of the Aztec such as the Tlaxcalans
4. Cortes marched up the coast of Mexico and conquered the territory of Veracruz
Explanation:
When the Spanish arrived in Mexico, the Aztecs were thinking that they were deities, and that Cortes is a human incarnation of Quetzalcoatl, with the main reason for that being that they looked much different and came with ships from where the legend said that Quetzalcoatl will one day return. The Spanish used this in their advantage and left the Aztecs to think that way, bringing them in their capital and making them familiar with it, but also brought smallpox with in the city, killing off the Aztecs. Cortes and his men were hungry for gold, and the Aztecs had lot of it. The Spanish understood that most of the people conquered by the Aztecs hated them, so they made alliances with them in order to attack them and take over their empire. Together, the Spanish and the local people managed to defeat the Aztecs and took over their territory, marking the beginning of the Spanish empire in the New World.
Answer:
The right to vote resulted in a plebeian representation in the Roman Senate and they were granted participation in the legislation. The elected representation evolved ancient Rome into a republic from a kingdom in its truest sense.
Slavery in ancient Rome played an important role in society and the economy. Besides manual labor, slaves performed many domestic services, and might be employed at highly skilled jobs and professions. Accountants and physicians were often slaves. Slaves of Greek origin in particular might be highly educated. Unskilled slaves, or those sentenced to slavery as punishment, worked on farms, in mines, and at mills.

Slaves were considered property under Roman law and had no legal personhood. Most slaves would never be freed. Unlike Roman citizens, they could be subjected to corporal punishment, sexual exploitation (prostitutes were often slaves), torture and summary execution. Over time, however, slaves gained increased legal protection, including the right to file complaints against their masters.
A major source of slaves had been Roman military expansion during the Republic. The use of former enemy soldiers as slaves led perhaps inevitably to a series of en masse armed rebellions, the Servile Wars, the last of which was led by Spartacus. During the Pax Romana of the early Roman Empire (1st–2nd centuries AD), emphasis was placed on maintaining stability, and the lack of new territorial conquests dried up this supply line of human trafficking. To maintain an enslaved work force, increased legal restrictions on freeing slaves were put into place. Escaped slaves would be hunted down and returned (often for a reward). There were also many cases of poor people selling their children to richer neighbors as slaves in times of hardship.
Answer:
The American annexation of the Philippines.
Explanation:
The Anti Imperialist League was created in 1898, in response to the annexation of the Philippines by the United States. It was, basically, a group of conservative democrats who opposed the expansionist idea once defended by Manifest Destiny, as well as the militarization and strategic expansion ordered by the main leaders of the Republican Party. Its foundation lay in the principle of freedom and consensus of the governed, by means of which they said that America would act as a tyranny to try to expand its territories, by crushing the rights of the inhabitants of those lands.
