Which leader was undecided about invading Spaniards being gods or men

History
1 answer:
Crazy boy [7]3 years ago

Answer:  <u>Moctezuma II</u>, ruler of the Aztecs, may have thought the invading Spaniards to be gods.

Moctezuma showed indecision in the ways that he reacted to the invasion of Mexica (what the Aztecs called their territory).  It's quite possible he was simply unsure of the Spaniards' intent -- whether they were a threat or not.  But in  a letter that the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés sent to the Spanish king Charles V,  Cortés suggested that Moctezuma believed that he (Cortés) could be the exiled god of the wind and sky, Quetzalcoatl, coming back to reclaim his territory.  The "Florentine Codex," a 16th-century writing  by Bernardino de Sahagún (a Spanish monk of the Franciscan order) repeated the idea that Moctezuma thought the Spaniards perhaps were gods.
