1) In this passage Cortez is describing in great details the temples, the natives’ religion and how he tried to convince them that there was only one God they should worship. At first natives protested but them accepted the rules imposed by the conqueror.
2) Cortez describes in a very detailed version how the temples were built. He sounded surprised and amazed by the architecture of the temples as well as the decoration of idols. Evidence from the passage can be found in the following parts: “Among these temples there is one which far surpasses all the rest, whose grandeur of architectural details no human tongue is able to describe”, “The stone and wood of which they are constructed are so well wrought in every part, that nothing could be better done”, “Three halls are in this grand temple, which contain the principal idols; these are of wonderful extent and height, and admirable workmanship”.
3) According to the excerpt, Cortez did not agree or understand the religion of the natives, especially the part of human sacrifices. He tried to convince natives that there was only one God and that there was not such a thing as receiving favors from the Idols.

Answer:
<h3>The Dawes Plan, the Young Plan, the Locarno Pact and the Kellogg-Briand pact prevented Adolph Hitler and the Nazi Party's rise to power.</h3>
Explanation:
Much of the success of "Golden Years" in Germany can be attributed to establishment of the American aid plans and measures such as The Dawes Plan, the Young Plan, the Locarno Pact and the Kellogg-Briand pact.
It helped Germany recover and improve its economy, as well as helped in improving its foreign relations. However, with the onset of the Great Depression, it led to the end of the "Golden Years" in 1929.
Loans were withdrawn back and stalled by the American banks and Germany as well as many other countries had to face a very hard time because of this. Unemployment and poverty started to rise and there was economic crises once again in Germany.
It was during these times of crisis, Hitler took the advantage and paved a way for his Nazi party and ideologies in the country. It provided Hitler a platform to advocate his ideologies and condemn the policies of the Weimar republic in Germany.
Thus, it can be said that the plans and measures such as The Dawes Plan, the Young Plan, the Locarno Pact and the Kellogg-Briand pact prevented Hitler and the rise of Nazi party in Germany as those plans and measures helped Germany recover from its war reparations and economic downfall.
