YOUR MISSION FROM KING MOCTEZUMA:<\/p>\n
I’ve just received word that a force of Spaniards is making its way from the Gulf Coast to our capital of Tenochtitlan. If they intend to make war, this represents a grave threat to the Aztec nation. We must understand whether their plans are peaceful or warlike and, as my best emissary, I’d like you to find out.<\/p>\n
First, you will need to build your knowledge of the situation, beginning with a review of the timeline below. Then, I’d like you to read about the Spanish arrival in our land and analyze a map of their movement throughout our lands.<\/p>\n
You will then provide me with a brief summary of the major themes of your research so that I may understand the case. Last, you will recommend a course of action for our people: should we extend our hands in peace or prepare for war?<\/p>\n
Good luck. The Aztec nation is counting on you.<\/p>\n
