Write an essay of around 1400 words that makes an argument about the Spanish invasion of Mexico: “What was the most important factor that contributed to the outcome
of the invasion?”. For instance, you might focus on what each side believed, their alliances, their power in people and weapons, technology, disease, translation, climate, military decision-making, or any other factor that you see as important and can support with evidence. Try to be guided by the evidence, rather than trying to shape the evidence to fit your explanation. Explain why this is the factor that made the biggest difference.
