Why did montezuma welcome cortes to the aztec capital? a. because the spanish had more soldiers than the aztecs. b. because montezuma thought that cortes was a god. c. because montezuma wanted the gold the spanish offered him. d. because montezuma wanted to visit spain and become catholic.

The correct answer is answer B ("Because Montezuma thought that Cortés was a God").

Although there are many different narratives regarding the events that took place during the conquest of the Aztec Empire by Spain, a lot of historians agree that Cortés' arrival coincided in timing with a major Aztec prophecy that predicted the return of Quetzalcoatl, whom natives regarded as their creator. Montezuma welcomed Cortés and greeted him thinking he was the God Quetzalcoatl, only to end up taken as a hostage by the Spanish forces who sacked the Aztec Capital.
