<h2>Answer:  In 2002.</h2>

Context/details:

The Homeland Security Act, which created the Department of Homeland Security, was passed in 2002, following the September 11, 2001 attacks by terrorists against the United States, which involved hijacking planes and flying them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.  The Department of Homeland Security describes its mission as ensuring "a homeland that is safe, secure, and resilient against terrorism and other hazards."

The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Title I, Section 101), listed the top three priorities of the Department of Homeland Security as:

  • (A) prevent terrorist attacks within the United States;
  • (B) reduce the vulnerability of the United States to  terrorism;
  • (C) minimize the damage, and assist in the recovery from terrorist attacks that do occur within the United  States;

Also listed as part of Homeland Security's mission is that it will  "monitor connections between illegal drug trafficking and terrorism, coordinate efforts to sever such  connections, and otherwise contribute to efforts to interdict  illegal drug trafficking."

The Department of Homeland Security also acts "as a focal point  regarding natural and manmade crises and emergency  planning," and works to coordinate efforts between various agencies and law enforcement agencies  in order to achieve its security goals.  According to the Department of Homeland Security's own website, the Department of Homeland Security combines "22 different federal departments and agencies into a unified, integrated Cabinet agency."

.Much to their surprise, the first pilgrims at Plymouth Colony were greeted by a Native American in English (his name was Samoset and he had begun to learn English from fisherman along the coast)
.When James Cook first arrived in Hawaii the locals thought he was a god. When he came back, however, his boats had been battered by a storm, which apparently offended the natives. They subsequently killed him and ate him.
.Admiralty Island in Alaska is half the size of Yellowstone Park but with twice the number of grizzly bears. Early Russian explorers named the island Ostrov Kutsnoi, which translates to "fear island".
.During an expedition through Yellowstone, Truman Everts was separated from his group. He ended up losing his horse, his supplies, falling into a geyser, and getting frostbite before being found several months later barely alive
.When Sir Walter Raleigh, an English explorer, captured the Portuguese ship Madre de Deus, it was estimated to carry cargo worth half of England's national treasury.

What factor helped the spanish conquer the powerful Aztec Empire?
Nady [450]

Answer:

The Aztec Empire was more a set of different peoples than a homogeneous and peaceful culture. The elite in Tenochtitlán oppressed city-states around it with heavy taxes and kept its dominance through a strong military.

Explanation:

This created many enemies of the Aztec Empire and so it happened that when the Spanish arrived these peoples joined forces with them to destroy Tenochtitlán.

It's important to remember that Aztec Empire it's not how they called themselves in the 1500s. "Aztec" is a term that began to be utilized only in the 1800s by European scholars. In the 1500s the people of Tenochtitlán called themselves Mexicas.
