What caused Moctezuma to be terrified of Cortés? How did that affect his response to the arrival of the Spanish in Mexico? Why do you think Moctezuma signed over his land and treasure to the Spanish? Cite evidence from the text in support of your answer.
Answer:
Moctezuma was terrified because Cortés arrived with 508 soldiers and with modern instruments such as swords and cannons.
Moctezuma trusted Cortés because he taught that he was Quetzalcoatl, an ancient Mayan god.
Moctezuma was scared because of the number of soldiers that Cortés took into battle, and also Cortés had very modern battle instruments. Moctezuma thought it would be impossible to win this battle and so preferred to give land and treasure to the Spaniards, especially after Cortes claimed he was an ancient Mayan god.
The battle between Cortés and Moctezuma took place on November 8, 1519, in the city of Tenochtitlán, a Mayan city that is now Mexico City.
This battle occurred because:
The Spanish government wanted domination of the region.The region was already inhabited by the Mayans, who did not want to be dominated.The Spanish government was being represented by the explorer Hernán Cortés.Mayan Governor Moctezuma decided to fight against the Spaniards to guarantee the safety of the Mayans.The Mayan governor's majesty was interrupted by fear when he saw the Spanish army. That's because Cortés arrived in battle with 508 soldiers, all well equipped with cannons and swords, which were very modern weapons compared to the Mayan weapons.
Moctezuma was afraid and impressed with the prosperity of the Spaniards. He saw that it would be impossible to win this battle, especially when Cortes convinced him that he was a Mayan god.

-Do you think Clarisse inherited some characteristics from her father, who is the war god?
-Why do you think it is undetermined who Percy's father is when the camp knows everyone else’s parents?
-What characteristics does Chiron have to make himself a good camp leader? Give three characteristics and give evidence to support them.
( the Percy Jackson series )
Answer:
Yes, Clarisse most likely inherited some characteristics from her father such as her ferocity, braveness, hot-temperedness and strong nature. The Big Three; Zeus, Poseidon and Hades had sworn to not have any more children since they were becoming too powerful. Poseidon most likely didn't want to claim Percy in order to avoid facing the fact that he broke the oath with his brothers. A good leader needs to be honest, be able to communicate and delegate responsibility. He/she needs to have a positive attitude, be able to inspire others and be creative. Chiron meets all of this criteria; he is honest to the campers and to Percy when asked serious questions about the ongoing crisis, he is able to delegate responsibility and the way he runs Camp Half-Blood is creative as well as inspiring for the campers to develop their multiple talents.Explanation:

The Indian wars refer to the set of conflicts and minor wars between that country and the different indigenous peoples of the current US territory. Also included are wars between European settlers and Native Americans that led to the creation of the United States.
These wars in North America, which extend from colonial times to the Wounded Knee Massacre and the definitive establishment of the US border. UU in 1890, they were generally resolved with the conquest of native peoples and their forced cultural assimilation or their forced location in reserves.

The main cause was the infectious diseases transmitted by European explorers and traders. The United States Census Bureau (1894) provided its estimate of deaths due specifically to the war during the 102 years between 1789 and 1891, including 8,500 Indians and 5,000 whites killed in "individual affairs":
