Final answer:

The claim that Texas Western won two additional national championships is false; they only won once in 1966. Various exercises concerning historical events are addressed, highlighting true and false statements about U.S. history and the Spanish conquest of the Aztec.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement 'Texas Western went on to win 2 more national championships' is false. Texas Western, now known as the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), won its sole NCAA basketball championship in 1966. There is no record of the team winning additional national championships after that victory.

When addressing the exercises provided:

  • Exercise 11.1.5: The statement that 'The Louisiana Purchase doubled the territory of the United States' is true. The purchase significantly increased the size of the United States.
  • Exercise 3.2.5: It's true that 'Recruiting native allies played an important role in the Spanish conquest of the Aztec'. Allies were crucial for the Spaniards in terms of manpower and local knowledge.
  • Exercise 17.4.2: The statement that 'Southern redeemers hoped to preserve Republican rule in the South' is false. Southern redeemers aimed to restore Democratic control and end Reconstruction.
  • Exercise 14.2.3: As a result of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, it is true that 'Mexico lost more than half of its territorial land mass' to the United States.
  • Exercise 11.3.1: The statement that 'The market revolution brought many social and economic changes to the United States' is true. It represented a significant shift in how people worked and lived.

True! Texas Western (now known as the University of Texas at El Paso) did go on to win two more national championships. They won in 1966, and then again in 1967 and 1971. It was quite a remarkable achievement for the team!
