Answer 2

The correct answer is B) the Aztecs were weakened by civil war.

The sentence that does not explain the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs is “the Aztecs were weakened by civil war.”

The Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire was from 1519 to 1521. Hernando Cortes was the leader of the Spanish troops that had the help of other Indian tribes that were the enemies of the Aztecs such as the Tlaxcalans and the Cholultecas. After the Killing of Montezuma II, Cuauhtemoc became the Emperor of the Aztecs who tried to defend the great city of Tenochtitlan (today Mexico City). But Tenochtitlan fell on August 13, 1521.
