Semantics is the study of word meanings.
It is one part of linguistics, other being syntax: the study of sentence structure, phonology and phonetics: the study of sounds, morphology: the study of word structures and pragmatics: the study of actual use of language.
The Mexican society wasn't united, since they were constantly fighting with each other. Since soldiers were killed, they also lost military power. When the Spanish arrived, they had a strong military, but also diseases, which killed Mexican soldiers. That made the home society vulnerable.

Answer: The mandate system authorized a member nation of the League of Nations to govern a former German or Turkish colonial area after the conclusion of World War I.
Context/detail:
When World War I erupted, the Ottoman Empire sided with Germany as part of the "Central Powers." In the end, the Central Powers lost and the Turkish empire of the Ottomans ceased to exist as an empire. Turkey remained as a country, but it lost control over other territories that it had held before. Germany was stripped of its overseas colonial holdings.
The League of Nations created a system for governing former German and Ottoman territories, called "the mandate system." There were mandate territories for former German territories in Africa and Asia, as well for former Ottoman territories in the Middle East.
The former Turkish provinces of Syria, Iraq and Palestine in the Middle East were divided into a French mandate territory and British mandate territory. The British mandate rule over Palestine has much to do with the history of the development of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
