Did spain conquer the incas and the aztecs for their gold?
Mainly for wealth, but also for power and land.
When the Spanish explorers in the New World discovered that the two main advanced American Native civilizations, the Incas and the Aztecs, coveted gold and silver as did European nations, Spanish conquistadors did their best to steal and mine for these precious metals. The Aztecs were conquered and the same thing for the Incas. Spain also established colonies to add more territory under their control as they sought to be the major power in Europe and the New World.

What are three contributions to matematics by Simon stevin?
Stevin was the first to show how to model regular and semiregular polyhedra by delineating their frames in a plane. Stevin also distinguished stable from unstable equilibria. He proved the law of the equilibrium on an inclined plane, using an ingenious and intuitive diagram showing a rope containing evenly spaced beads draped over an inclined plane (see the illustration on the side). Physicist Richard Feynman discussed the diagram in his 'Lectures on Physics', and imagined that the diagram had been inscribed on Stevin's tombstone. In reality Stevin's grave does not exist.
He demonstrated the resolution of forces before Pierre Varignon, which had not been remarked previously, even though it is a simple consequence of the law of their composition.
Stevin discovered the hydrostatic paradox, which states that the downward pressure of a liquid is independent of the shape of the vessel, and depends only on its height and base.
He also gave the measure for the pressure on any given portion of the side of a vessel.
He was the first to explain the tides using the attraction of the moon.
In 1586, he demonstrated that two objects of different weight fall down with exactly the same acceleration.

When did native americans first exist?
Not exactly. For them there was no difference between the lands they left behind (modern Asia) and the lands they moved into, since they were all one continuous land mass.
Imagine yourself 20,000 years ago living in a hunting band in the area that is now Panama. Your hunting band moves south-east to follow the animals you are hunting; you keep following those animals, making new camps and finding fresh water sources as you go. Eventually you will be in South America - but nothing is any different to the place you started from, so it would not seem like you have discovered new land. There's just a lot of it - and no humans are there already.
That's exactly how it was for those Neolithic hunters following game animals into the Americas.
What was one difference between the roles of nobles and commoners in Aztec society?
Nobles were able to choose a new king, while commoners were not.
How did the conquistadors justify their conquest of the Aztec and Inca empires?
Gold, God, and Country. The first explorers came to the Americas in search for a faster route to Asia. On their journey they found a previously unknown part of the world and with it, an unknown people and culture. When the conquistadors entered into the great cities of these awesome empires (firstly Tenochtitlan, the capital city of the Aztec empire) they encountered a fortune in gold and new crops that they could take with them back to Europe. Some examples of these new foods included corn, avocados, chilies, vanilla, yams, chewing gum, and chocolate.
They also believed it to be their Christian duty to convert the polytheistic natives to their monotheistic Catholic ways.
Lastly, conquering the majority of the western hemisphere in the name of Spain ( and Portugal in the case of Brazil) was a smart strategic move that could gain them land, power, and more money.
Did any Incas survive the battle where they were destroyed?
The battle between the spanish and the Incas went on for days, if it wasnt for Atahualpa who told some of his men to retreat and hideaway somewhere the spanish (wohooo, spain!!!) couldnt find them. this act saved about 900 Incas from death. Now days there are still Incas living, they are called Peruvians, yes Peruvians were Incas this whole time, who knew. :)

Did the development of gunpowder make it easy for the Aztecs to win most of their battles?
The Aztecs used traditional knife-like weaponry and spears for the most part, and gunpowder was not introduced until the Cortes and the Spaniards came. His troops demolished the inferior weaponry of the Native Americans with their guns and cannons. Only a small number of Aztec tribes were introduced to the use of gunpowder when they agreed to join the ranks of Cortes, and the empire fell within due time. Bri
Is wealth a sign of righteousness or of wickedness?
Neither. The love of money is the root of all evil not the money itself. Many rich people have been both sincere Christians or strongly against it. Similarly, many poor people have been both Christian or not. So it is the heart not the wealth itself that is important.
The actual verse:
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 1 Timothy 6:10
When Jesus challenged the rich young man to sell all he had and to come and follow him and said that he would then have treasure in heaven, he did not mean that he was wicked because of his riches. Nor did he mean that he could thereby 'buy' his way to heaven. What was the problem with this man was that his wealth stood in the way between him and a total commitment to Christ. With another person it may have been something else.
The problem with wealth is that it does for many people become a passport to pleasure. They use wealth to get whatever they want in life. A big boat or house or holiday or expensive cars etc. So the wealth is used for things that are essentially the 'god' of that person. They worship that thing and they will then step on people to get or keep it.
On the other hand, many other wealthy people use their wealth unselfishly for the good of others.
