REVIEW topics for the test.
Hey guys, make sure that you can answer the following questions COMPLETELY and INTELLIGENTLY, using both class notes and your readings:
1. Please explain (using specific examples) how Cortes was able to politically manipulate and confuse the Aztec empire early in his conquest.
2. Why were some tribal empires (i.e. Tlaxcalan and Totonac) so ready to ally with Cortes?
3. How did the arrival of Porfiro de Narvaez catalyze Aztec-Spanish relations?
4. What is encomienda? What were the political, social, and economic impacts of its creation after the fall of the Aztec? empire?
5. Use the Colonial Model to identify the similarities and differences in the Colonial experiences of the Caribbean and Mexico. Your answer should take into account political, economic and social factors.
6. Why did Spanish hegemony result in dramatically different misogenistic cultures in the Caribbean and Mexico?
GOOD LUCK!
