Why did Montezuma treat the Spaniards as royalty when they arrived in Mexico City?

It is a common misconception that the Aztecs confused the Spanish conquistadors for gods. They actually knew Cortes and his men were actual men, but the Aztecs were marveled at their superior technology and appearance (white bearded men with iron armor, steel blades and horses). They initially approached them with caution, but during the Main Temple Massacre (May 20, 1520) the conquistadors showed their predatory nature.


How can women earn the same luxury and privilege as men of walking outside and not being approached sexually by men?

You don't. That luxury does not exist so there is no way to earn it. Good looking men are also approached by other men (and occasionally by women) sexually. Take it as a complement and learn to brush them off quickly. If they do not take a simple no thank you, contact the authorities


Why is Montezuma an important part of Mexico?

Montezuma II was the last ruler of the Aztec Empire at the beginning of the 16th century. Then Cortés, a European conquistador, captured and defeated him, and his empire fell. The Atzecs had no immunity against certain illnesses him and his men had brought and many of them were wiped out from disease and such. Also, their weapons technology was superior so the whole ordeal wasn't exactly fair. Anyway, Cortés defeated Montezuma II. It is said that Montezuma put a curse on his gold because after the defeat of the empire, Cortez and his men got sick and died (probably more because of illnesses they themselves were not immune to rather than a curse) but now travelers to Mexico are warned about Montezuma's revenge because they often get diarrhea when they drink the water there.

How did Hernando cortez help bring an end to the Aztec civilization?

In July 1519, Cortes deliberately burned and sank, or scuttled, his ten ships. Cortes knew that the impending campaign would be difficult, and he didn't want any of his men to mutiny and try to flee on their own. His message sent Cortes led an army of 1,000 Spanish and Indian allies into the mountains and jungles.As Cortes's army defeated Indian warriors and sacked several towns, Montezuma sent gifts, promising to pay tribute if the Spanish left the Aztec Empire. Cortes defied the emperor and by November, Cortes and his ragged army stood before the gates of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital and home to more than 60,000 people, a population larger than that in any Spanish city at the time.At first, Montezuma and Cortes exchanged cordial greetings. Cortes and his men were stunned by the magnificence of the city, but they were also horrified by the Aztec religion, which sacrificed humans in rituals. When one ofMontezuma's chiefs attacked a Spanish garrison, Cortes took Montezuma prisoner and forced him to acknowledge the Spanish king as his lord. When Cortes tried to change the Aztec temples into Christian churches, warfare broke out. Montezuma was killed, and Cortes and his men were forced to flee Tenochtitlan. Cortes raised an army and returned to lay siege to the great city.On August 13, 1521, the Aztecs, starving and weakened by disease introduced by the Europeans, surrendered. Cortes was made governor and captain general of Nuevo Espana (New Spain), and established Mexico City on the ruins of Tenochtitlan.
