Why were Cortez and Pizarro able to conquer the Incas and Aztecs fairly easily?

Cortez and Pizarro were able to conquer the Incas and Aztecs fairly easily due to several factors. These factors include superior military technology such as firearms, steel weapons, and armor, as well as the strategic use of horses, which were unfamiliar to the indigenous peoples. Additionally, the Spanish benefited from alliances with indigenous groups who were enemies of the Aztecs and Incas, as well as the devastating impact of European diseases like smallpox, which decimated the native populations. The Spanish also exploited internal divisions and political instability within the Aztec and Inca empires to their advantage.


What cultural features did all Greeks share?

A language and gods and goddesses. There were leagues which oversaw religious and cultural matters, the most notable of which was the Delphic (or Great Amphictyonic) League. The Olympic Games was a religious festival in which the Greek city-states participated. Macedonia was not considered Greek. Philip II king of Macedonia was denied entry to the Olympics and had to fake up an ancestry linking him to an ancient Greek hero to get in. His soldiers could not speak or understand Greek easily, and Philip and his son Alexander the great had to have interpreters when they gave orders/briefings in Greek to combined Greek/Macedonian groups.


Why did the ancient Greece become a seafaring people?

The geography of Greece caused the Greeks to be sea traders in many ways. For a few ways I think u should read my report. In one one case Greece is surrounded by water on three sides. That means Greece is a pininsula. Another way is that if they needed resources they could easily just go up 2 Shqiperia. But if they needed things they didnt have any other choice but 2 go and look towards the sea. And on the c they could also fish so if I was in Greece I would look towards the c.

How do you xxplain why the rest of Greece was so easily conquered by Phillip of Macedon and the Macedonian Army?

Greece wasn't "conquered" by Macedonia it was united under Macedonian Hegemony. Philip II wanted to unite the Greek city-states under his leadership so that he could spearhead a campaign to conquer Persia. Whenever a Greek state became supreme, that supremacy entailed the depression of some states and the dependency or subjection of others. As the eminent historian, J.B. Bury writes, "Athens was reduced to a secondary place by Macedon, and Thebes fared still worse; As the hegemony or first place among Greek states had passed successively from Athens to Sparta, and to Thebes, so now it passed to Macedon". Thr Corinthian League, under the brilliant leadership of Alexander the Great, would go on to conquer the mighty Persian Empire and build an Empire spreading the Greek language, culture and civilization, stretching from Greece through Egypt to India. There were a number of factors for Philip's success. Firstly, Philip had modernized his army and changed army tactics and weaponry, making his army the strongest fighting force in all of Greece. Secondly, Greece was divided in a number of small, internally divided and always quarreling city-states and Philip (who only used military force when briberies, subterfuge and diplomatic means had failed) had no trouble playing one against the other. There was only one State - Sparta - that stated it would fight the Macedonians tooth and nail if they tried an invasion of Sparta. Philip and later Alexander then decided to leave Sparta alone.
