History

MArishka [77]3 years ago
3 0

In the spring of 1519, upon receiving the news of the arrival of strangers to the east coast of present-day Mexico, to the beaches of Chalchihuecan in the present state of Veracruz, Moctezuma sent ambassadors presided over by five Mexica nobles to investigate the stories. Following his detailed instructions, the emissaries carried three sets of trappings: one associated with Tezcatlipoca, another with Tlaloc, and another with Quetzalcoatl. Each Nahua god had elements of specific attire, and Moctezuma believed that Cortes could be related to Quetzalcoatl, taking into consideration the prophecy which said "from the east will come white and bearded men" and thought that if the Spanish allowed them to adorn it with their attributes It would be proven that such a relationship was true, since no one would dare allow themselves to be decorated in such a way without being authorized for it by the deity. Perhaps by chance, Cortés was pleased when he was dressed in Quetzalcoatl's suit. This terrified Moctezuma Xocoyotzin, who sent rich presents to prevent the Spanish from approaching. But the gifts only aroused the greed of the invaders.

Explain 'Domino Theory' and how it relates to the Vietnam War. Are we using the same path and techniques with The War on Terror?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Domino Theory is the theory that suggest that once Vietnam becomes communist, that the countries such as Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, or even India may also fall under the communist regime.

We indeed are using the same techniques on the war against terrorism, seeing as how Afghanistan was once run by a terrorist government/a government whom supported terrorism, we feared that there was a change that Pakistan, or Iran, or Iraq would also fall under these Taliban governments.

Why was slavery originally brought to colonial America?
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Slavery in the colonial history of the United States, from 1526 to 1776, developed from complex factors, and researchers have proposed several theories to explain the development of the institution of slavery and of the slave trade. Slavery strongly correlated with Europe's American colonies' demand for labor, especially for the labor-intensive plantation economies of the sugar colonies in the Caribbean, operated by Great Britain, France, Spain, and the Dutch Republic .
