8 0

The most common weapon of the Aztec was the spears that were known to pierce Spanish armor and were sharp enough that warriors could use them to shave. Another name for their spears was, tepoztopilli. Aztec warriors also used bows & arrows, darts, clubs as well. The Spanish used allies they had made by force or persuasion. The fact that Moctezuma believed Cortés to be a reincarnated god also helped with aiding the Spanish in entering Tenochtitlan. The Spanish uses guns, swords, and cannons as their weapons in the fight against the Aztec but, their greatest weapon proved to be the Small pox virus which they brought to the new world from Europe. Since small pox had been around for a while in Europe, most Europeans had developed and immunity to it but still carried the virus. The Aztecs had never been exposed to the virus so within a number of weeks, a large percent of the Aztec population had been wiped out by the virus.

12345 [234]

Credible, because a historian student could have some idea on different topics, and then discover new information that eventually led the student to rethink their ideas. In particular, the sentence is credible because it is possible to admire several pieces in the British Museum related to Julio Ceasar.
---
Biased. The sentence, while could be absolutely written by a historical scholar, should not be included in an article, unless the article is an essay where the scholar expresses an opinion, and even then it should be justified and not simply stated as it appears here.
---
Biased. The sentence seems more probable to be said during a personal conversation of some sort, considering the personal tone of the statement, and the fact that is made considering only the speaker's viewpoint without any evidence to support the claim.
---
Credible. While the sentence sure is not the best from an academic viewpoint, in a blog it is not usual to use a form of expression that is less codified than what is used in scholars papers. Moreover, it is credible that a historical blogger could want to engage its readers in that way, thus making the statement credible.
