In the source written by Lopez de Gomara on the Mexica rebellion, what were the attitudes of the Spaniards toward the Mexica? They were cautious and shy. They were afraid and wary. They were friendly and supportive. They were violent and hostile. Lopez de Gomara was one of the Spaniards who accompanied Cortes during the Conquest of the Mexica. Which of the following is one reason he uses to explain why the Spanish attacked the Mexica during the Festival? The only motivation for the Spanish attackers was murder. The Spanish leader of the attack may have learned earlier that the Mexica nobles were plotting a rebellion against the Spanish at the Festival. The Spanish were tricked into attacking the dancers by Mexica leaders. The Mexica had attacked several Catholic clergy earlier that week, and the Spanish saw the Festival as a way to get revenge.

Both primary sources do NOT agree that the Spaniards were violent and excessively violent. There were several possible reasons for the violent attacks of the Spanish on the Mexica. The massacre of the Mexicas occurred during a festive celebration. The Spaniards closed the exits and entrances and massacred the Mexicas.
