E. People of Spanish descent born in America were called Creoles and rarely obtained jobs with the government.

Answer 25

I believe it is B, C, and E on the first question.

Answer 26

What about A? That one I know is correct..

Answer 27

Hmmm.. But B is right too.

Answer 28

Are you talking about the Aztec, or the Spanish?

Answer 29

Aztec got defeat because they waited for long.

Answer 30

Oh. Well, there should be only 3 answers. A and C I'm positive they are correct (I hope) So B or E?

Answer 31

E is the most important.

Answer 32

So B is a no?
And could you see the second one, please? :)

Answer 33

Btw, I don't think Aztec actually had weapons and firepower to attack the Spanish with. Spanish was much more powerful!

You are probably right. But I know Aztec have weapons but not strong enough to fight it. E is main reason why they failed. Another question is really tricky. I think it is B, C, and E. I am not sure.

Yep! And for 2nd one, B and E I agree with, I'm not really sure about C, I'll check. But how about A?
