Answer 1

The right order is D, C, A and B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hernán Cortés, the Spanish conqueror or Mexico, had departed from Cuba. They first arrived in today´s Veracruz. A very cunning man, he quickly realized that many local peoples were dominated and exploited by the Aztecs and hated them. He formed alliances with those opressed peoples. He marched to Tenochtitlan. Emperor Moctezuma welcomed him, believing that the arrival of the Spanish was the fulfilling of a prophesy. The Spaniards brought smallpox and other diseases to the New World.

Answer 2

A.)Moctezuma II welcomed the Spanish, thinking
that Cortés was the human incarnation of the
god Quetzalcoatl.

C.)Cortés established alliances with enemies of
the Aztec such as the Tlaxcalans.

D.)Cortés marched up the coast of Mexico and
conquered the territory of Veracruz.

B.)Cortés and his men brought smallpox to the
city of Tenochtitlan, killing many Aztec.

That should be the correct order.

At first it was believed that Cortez and his people were divine. He gathered troops and managed to beat the Aztecs and hold Monctezuma as a captive. Eventually Moctezuma was killed and Cortez moved towards other objectives where he went with smallpox.
