1. The Mexicas' (correct name of the Aztecs) religion, particularly the belief in feeding the Sun/War God, Hutzilopochtli, required human blood in order to stay alive and continue its journey across the skies, had the effect of making the capture of enemy prisoners a priority in war, instead of merely disabling or eliminating them (a far easier task for it exposes warriors less to wounds and fatal injuries). In battle against the <em>Conquistadors, </em>the Mexica practice of seeking out prisoners of war in battle turned out to be a distinct handicap readily exploited by the Spaniards.
2. The Incas managed to maintain control of the vast territories under their control by means of a an excellent communication system consisting of paved roads across the empire, the establishment of fortified military bases garrisoned by Incan warriors and the efficient use of messengers and their distinct record system known as <em>quipu.</em>
<em>3. </em>Both the Mexicas and the Incas started out as small, poor yet resourceful and ambitious peoples who were able to rebel against foreign domination and expand their domains through the creation and maintenance of highly efficient, aggressive and disciplined armies.
Mexicas and Incans differed in the use of their armies after consolidating their empires: the Mexicas waged wars yearly with the purpose of capturing as many prisoners of war as possible in order to offer their lives as sacrifice to their Sun/War God Huitzilopochtli. Conversely, the Incans used their army to garrison fortified posts strategically located throughout their empire in order to avert any chance of rebellion. Also, the way political and military power was exerted was different in each civilization. The Mexicas were ruled by about half a dozen lords called "tlatoanis" who in turn appointed an overlord called "great tlatoani," so their government system was an elective monarchy of sorts. On the other hand, the emperor of the Incas called "Sapa Inca" inherited the power from his father and would usually murder his brothers as they were his rivals for the supreme power. Thus, the Incas had a hereditary monarchy, a more traditional kind of government.
In the early 1800s, only men have the right to vote (universal men suffrage). However, voting rights changed in Europe during the revolts of the mid 1800s wherein the new constitution describes and allows all men the right to vote. Also, voting rights were extended through Great Britain and France — opening opportunities for unemployed French workers.
Answer:
The shape of the moon depends on its position around the sun and the different phases.
Explanation:
As the Moon navigates around the Earth, sunlight is reflected.
From Earth, only a part of the moon is visible to us.
The shape of the Moon we see on at night depends on the amount of sunlight is in the face of the moon during its cycle.
The shapes of the Moon are called phases. These phases occur during the Lunar Cycle, which lasts about 27 days.
The Moon is between the Earth and the Sun when the Lunar Cycle begins.
During this phase, the part of the moo reflecting rays from the Sun isn't visible on Earth, so the moon isn't seen at all. This is called New Moon.
Answer:
The theme chosen was "change in the main agreements built in the Versailles Treaty"
Explanation:
Gentlemen, when reading and analyzing the provisions established in the Treaty of Versailles, I felt the need to bring them together so that together we can discuss these provisions so that we can foresee possible harmful consequences for us and for all nations in the world.
Although Germany was one of the main culprits for the establishment of the war that caused us so much harm, I am afraid that the treaty established, will reinforce resentful feelings in the German population, regarding the difficulties that the treaty impose in the recovery of this region.
I fear that these feelings will trigger political and social movements that will stimulate a population revolt that results in yet another conflict to which we will be involved.
With that, I propose that some points of the Versailles Treaty be modified and that the punishments for Germany be milder in some ways. I do not ask for Germany to be pardoned, but for the treaty to propose punishments that allow the population to recover and have a dignified life, because despite the regrets, we are all human beings and in addition to paying for our mistakes, we must be able to maintain our dignity.
