Answer:

1. The purpose of the conquistadors was to conquer the ancient empires in the region of Central and South America. The first Spaniards who came to New World were the conquistadors, mercenaries, and soldiers who came for adventure as well as to make quick fortunes. The reason for the establish colonies in the New World was the glory, gold and God. Spanish invading the early empire and taking control over them by showing their glory, spreading Christianity became their reason for converting the Natives. Gold (silver) became their source for generating wealth in the New World.

2. The conquistadors were successful in colonizing Central America through invading the Maya Civilization. Mayan People were unable to defend themselves because of the spread of the diseases which killed somewhat the entire civilization who were not immune to it. Spanish weapons were superior to the Mayan who used bow and arrow, spears etc.

3. Hernan Cortes defeated the Aztecs in 1521 and claimed Mexico for Spain.

4. Central America countries speak Spanish because of the Spain occupation in the region by establishing colonies after the discovery of America in 1492.

avanturin [10]

How did Islam become part of North African culture
salantis [7]

Islam gained momentum during the 10th century in West Africa with the start of the Almoravid dynasty movement on the Senegal River and as rulers and kings embraced Islam. Islam then spread slowly in much of the continent through trade and preaching. During this period these Muslims from North and West Africa came to be known by Europeans at large as Moors and were depicted by Europeans as black, swarthy or tawny in skin color.

According to Arab oral tradition, Islam first came to Africa with Muslim refugees fleeing persecution in the Arab peninsula. This was followed by a military invasion, some seven years after the death of the prophet Mohammed in 639, under the command of the Muslim Arab General, Amr ibn al-Asi.
