Answer:

The correct answer is: He took the emperor captive.

Explanation:

Hernán Cortés (1485 - 1547) was a Spanish conquistador who participated in the Spanish colonization of the Americas who conquered the Aztec empire in the 16th century.

On November 1519, Cortés and his army entered the capital of the Aztec Empire – Tenochtitlan. Emperor Montezuma II welcomed Cortés with great gifts and prepared for Cortés and other Spaniards the palace of his father, as the Aztecs considered Cortés their god Quetzalcoatl.

However, Cortés demanded more gold and made Montezuma II swore that he would give Cortés an equal amount of gold each year. Cortés also ordered that all the Aztecs sculptures had to be removed from their temples to erect the sculpture of the Virgin Mary and convert them into the Spanish temple.

Then, Cortés took Montezuma as his hostage in the palace, in order to prevent a possible Aztec rebellion.

andrew-mc [135]
Vladimir Lenin was one of the most important members of the Bolshevik Party. The majority of the Russian Revolution and the need to implement a communist system was the responsibility of the Bolshevik Party. Once the revolution was successful, Lenin was looked to as the leader of the new communist state.

Stalin continued this communist system after Lenin was done being leader. Stalin's central planning system ensured that the Soviet Union's economy was controlled by the government, as well as the media outlets. This was especially true during World War II.
