The correct answer is:
A. Smallpox weakened the aztec's ability to resist.
C. The Spanish took Moctezuma prisoner
D. The Aztecs welcomed the Spanish with gifts.
Explanation:
<em>The Aztec Empire was conquered by the Spaniards under the leadership of Hernan Cortes from 1519 to 1521</em>. When the Spanish first arrived to Mexican territory the Aztecs welcomed them with gifts allowing them to enter freely, seeing those splendorous gifts only awakened the interest of the Spaniards in conquering the territory.
The Spanish conquerors had better tactics and new equipment such as guns and cannons, they made alliances with the Aztec's enemies such as the Tlascalans. They were in advantage and Moctezuma was held hostage trying to escape<em>, the</em> <em>Spaniards conquered Tenochtitlan</em>, bringing new diseases like smallpox that killed more than 7 million, this weakened the Aztec population and their ability to resist the invasion.
It is not sure if Ibn al-Athir was of Arab or Curdish ethnicity, but it is agreed that he was one of the main writers and biographers of the Crusades Era, and one of the Great Historians of the Muslim World.
He was born in the Great Seljuq Empire, modern Turkey, and experienced all the wars and chaos brought by Franks in the Crusades, living in Mosul, Baghdad and Damascus, even travelling with Saladin through for a period.
So, despite for being one of the only authors of its time to show respect and admiration for some of the Frank´s qualities, his main work "The Complete History" (Al-Kamil fi al-Tarikh"), that aims at telling his history of the world, has obvious bias in favour of the Muslim cause.
Which can be observed in his accounts of the death of the Christian ruler of Tyre, in a way that could not be written by modern historians:
"In this year, on 13 rabi II, the Frankish Marquis, the ruler of Tyre-- God [email protected] him!-- was killed. He was the greatest devil of all the Franks."
I believe the answer is B. and E.
