The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Did the Spanish Help or Hurt?

Well, it all depends on the perspective.

From the European perspective, the Spanish helped by evangelizing the Native Indians into the Catholic church principles and in offering education because the Spaniards considered the Indians as ignorant, primitive people.

On the other hand, in the Mexican and Latin American perspectives, the Spanish hurt so much.

The Spaniards were fortunate in the act that the Aztecas believed they were their gods coming back to fulfill the prophecies, and because of that the Aztecs welcomed them with an open hand and open doors.

The Spaniards were greedy people that only ambitioned richness for them and the Spanish crown, and they did what they knew best, kill and conquer.

The Spanish conquered Mesoamerica and instilled New Spain More than helping the Indians what the Spanish really wanted was to exploit the many raw materials and natural resources of the Americas. And exploit they did. They also tried to disappear the culture, traditions, beliefs, and religion of the Indians. Furthermore, they brought European diseases that almost wipe out 80n% of the Indian population. Diseases such as chickenpox, smallpox, malaria, influenza, and cholera.

So we could say they hurt more than what they helped.

3 The Battle of Tours affected the spread of Christianity because it A kept the Muslims in the southern part of the Iberian Peni
Radda [10]

Answer:

The answer is letter A

Explanation:

At the Battle of Tours near Poitiers, France, Frankish leader Charles Martel, a Christian, defeats a large army of Spanish Moors, halting the Muslim advance into Western Europe. Abd-ar-Rahman, the Muslim governor of Cordoba, was killed in the fighting, and the Moors retreated from Gaul, never to return in such force.

Charles was the illegitimate son of Pepin, the powerful mayor of the palace of Austrasia and effective ruler of the Frankish kingdom. After Pepin died in 714 (with no surviving legitimate sons), Charles beat out Pepin’s three grandsons in a power struggle and became mayor of the Franks. He expanded the Frankish territory under his control and in 732 repulsed an onslaught by the Muslims.

Victory at Tours ensured the ruling dynasty of Martel’s family, the Carolingians. His son Pepin became the first Carolingian king of the Franks, and his grandson Charlemagne carved out a vast empire that stretched across Europe.
