In the first place, Cabeza knew about the Indian tribes near his location, he knew about their culture and language.

Cabezas respect to the Indians earned him their trust they also became allies because of it. “Cabeza learned four Indian languages, including Charrucos, plus sign language” (Document B).
I say this because in document c it stated , “ Rows of chinampas plots stretched across the lake as far as the eye can see.” This quote is saying that since the Aztecs had an enormous number of people they had to have large plots of chinampas as well. This relates to my thesis because this achievement shows how they have grown in agriculture. I think we should also place more importance on agriculture because in document C it said,” the men on the right plant and harvest the maize (corn) while the woman on the left grind and roll it into tortillas.” This quote is stating that while men do one thing , Women are doing another , It also shows how they’re building up teamwork .
This chapter recounts the events of Francisco Pizarro's conquest of the Incan Empire. It offers firsthand accounts from Pizarro's men when they managed to capture Emperor Attahualpa at a time when the monarch was surrounded by around 80,000 men. It also discusses how such a a feat was accomplished by men outnumbered 500 to 1, attributing the Spaniards victory to their possession of steel, guns, and literacy.

Las Casas viewed the natives as “docile and open to doctrine” (1) who presented themselves in a godly manner. Stating that he believes the Indians to be docile along with the fact that he saw they behaved in a godly fashion negates the notion that Las Casas felt threatened by the Indians. He believes the survivors endured the most difficult hardships in history. Las Casas carried a great respect for the natives and hurt for them and the injustice they had been
This was a way to allow them to still expand their empire while still being able to provide for their country men. The Inca believed in using force as a last resort. Which led them to grow so large while not having civil war but if you opposed them they would kill everything and one in sight whoever was left was sold into slavery.
Another major difference between the Adena and Aztec cultures is their daily activities. On the one hand, the Adena has a simple daily life that they are hunter-gatherers, living in extended family groups and notable for their agriculture, pottery, artistic works and extensive trading network. On the other hand, Aztec ‘ways of life were more complicated due to the difference of its social status. Precisely, wealthy people lived in stone homes or sun-dried bricks while the poor people who mostly farmers lived in smaller palm leaf huts; they then obviously had to struggle to make a living. Thus, the daily life of the Aztec people especially the poor were quite difficult.
It has fascinating landscapes and the surroundings are quite amusing. Along with that, I liked that the admission for this place is totally free, so people who don’t like wasting money or can’t afford to go to the museums could go to this one for free and enjoy. Furthermore, the reason for me choosing this place for this paper is not because this place is free, but the fact that I am very interested in learning about the African-Americans and the contributions that they did in the United States. Since middle school I had always learned about the African Americans and the things that they had to go through in order to survive. The struggles and the sacrifices that they had to do for other people are very depressing.

The Inca Empire was one of the largest and richest empires in the Americas during the 15th and 16th century. This empire arose from a small group of Quechua speaking people, otherwise known as Inca’s, and built the largest imperial state in the western hemisphere. This state of around 10 million subjects, alongside the Andes mountains, held most of the Andean civilization in their time while simultaneously growing quick and prosperous in relation to their respective regions.

In 1532, the New and the Old world collided in Cajamarca in a way that could not have been more drastic. The Inca’s absolute monarch Atahualpa in the midst of his army of 80.000 soldiers encountered F. Pizarro - a Spanish conquistador who set out with a squad of 168 conquistadors to conquer the Inca Empire and extract history biggest ransom.

They had to work for about 6 to 7 days a week providing ores to the Spaniards, that could later be melted into silver. After time the city surrounding the mountain grew very large and attracted many people because of the large amounts of silver in the
