Answer 1

1. Possible Answers:

-The Spanish were trying to make the Aztec leader out to be a coward and weak.

-The Spanish were attempting to give the impression of being powerful with their animals and technology.

-Perhaps the Spanish were trying to give the impression that they were likely to win—thereby attracting more indigenous allies.

2. Spanish settlers recruited Tainos (natives of the Caribbean) to work in mines to search for gold in exchange for the Spanish looking after the Tainos’ welfare and teaching them Christianity. When the search for gold was ineffective, the English, Dutch, and French took the place of the Spanish, which they established plantations with the labor provided by African slaves.

3. Native people in North America were nomadic, which they traveled to different places on a regular basis. Spanish missionaries had more success converting native people to Christianity in South America. Overall, Christianity became a major religion of the Americas over time.

4. Europeans staked their claim in the Americas in attempt to displace indigenous people, which some Europeans took land from the indigenous people without making treaties and cultivated their land. The indigenous people and Europeans had violent conflicts and many indigenous people died from European diseases.

Answer 2

Europeans managed to covert many Natives to Christianity and in the process wiped out most of native cultures.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between European settlers and the natives was one of continued struggle and plight on the native side as the settlers systematically killed and took over the lands of the native tribes in their bid of westward extension of territory.

This was also accompanied by their willingness to assimilate the native cultures into westernization of their ideas and their religion which they were largely successful in by force.
