Question 6 • LHS World History

Which is true regarding Moctezuma II?

Answer

He was held hostage for his gold, then killed.
B
He invited Bartolomé de las Casas to view his lands.
C
He was invited by Pizarro as a friend and brother.
D
He invited Cortés into the city of Tenochtitlán.

Explanation

Moctezuma II was the Aztec ruler when Hernán Cortés and his Spanish forces arrived in 1519. He received Cortés and allowed him to enter Tenochtitlán, the Aztec capital. Pizarro encountered the Inca, not Moctezuma, and Bartolomé de las Casas was a Spanish priest and advocate for Indigenous peoples.
