The great civilization of Mexico and Latin America faced many domestic conflicts in the early 16th century. But when the first Spanish explorer arrived, their problems became more serious. In 1519, Hernando Cortéz landed in the Gulf of Mexico with 600 men and numerous horses and guns. The last Aztec ruler, Montezuma II, welcomed Cortez with gifts of gold and other treasures. However, Cortes recognizes the opportunity to weaken Aztec by forming an alliance with a group of oppressed supporters of Aztec. With the help of his new ally, Cortes beat Montezuma's army. Then Cortes opened his ally. By 1521, he destroyed the Aztec empire. In 10 years, Cortez ruled throughout Spain in Mexico. Today Mexico City covers the area where the Aztec capital once lived. The majority of Aztec culture has been destroyed, but now several artifacts are kept in museums. The ruins of the capital of Azteca were found in the city of modern Mexico City.
When Christopher Columbus and his crew met Maya in 1502, Maya civilization was greatly reduced. After 900 years, the conflict within Maya's land led to the division of civilization from the previous height. In 1523, Cortes sent Pedro de Ballad to conquer the Mayas of Guatemala. The Maya people fought bravely. In the middle of the 16th century, Spanish cities were built on Mayan lands. Many Maya people are killed or abused, but some senior members of the community are under some formal control.
In 1532, Spanish explorer Francisco Pizarro invaded the Inca Empire and asked for wealth. The Inca people have contacted Europeans, and many people died of illness by Europeans. The civil war between two ruling brothers also weakened the empire. Pizarro operated both sides, eventually breaking both. The Spaniard took over all the land of the Inca in 40 years, robbed a lot of money, destroyed the city and almost entirely erased the whole civilization. Most of the content about today's Inca comes from archeologists. The ruins of Inca's Machu Picchu hill were discovered by American explorer Hiram Bingham in 1911. This town is on the hill of the Andes Mountains far from Spain.
About 2800 years ago, people were called Maya and lived in the countryside of the Yucatan Peninsula and in the southern highlands. From around 250 BC to around 900 BC, they established a city state in Central America, including a huge pyramid-shaped temple and a public square, including huge stone pillars explaining its history. Tikal discovered thousands of buildings and artifacts, one of the biggest and oldest Maya centers in Guatemala. The survey results include temples, pyramids, stadiums, stone tablets, tools, ceremonial supplies, and many pottery.
The Central American classical lowland Maya city is the main competitor of the state, centering on Tikal. Like Tikal, Kalakumul has a wide range of monumental elite and religious centers featuring palaces, temples, pyramids and boulevards, whose dominant dynasty has an extensive alliance network with other Mayan ruins It is established. The classic city of the end point is a state-level political body in the Maya lowland in Central America. Its power is based on business and there is a strong connection with the Mexico region. Its political structure does not seem to be dominated by the king, but is controlled by some elite of dynasties, military, merchants, and religious figures.
In the 1970s, sociologist Mark Granovetter studied the structure of people's social network. His work shows that people's connections can be roughly explained as a strong relationship and a weak relationship. A strong connection is a connection with family, friends and colleagues. Weak relationship involves those you see occasionally. You will not contact your weak relationships deeply or frequently. Business research shows that weak relationships are very important for communicating information between groups. For example, in a company, many people work closely together.
