… In the 193os, Sylvanus G. Morley of Harvard,
probably the most celebrated Mayanist of his day,
espoused [argued for] what is still the best-known
theory: The Maya collapsed because they
overshot the carrying capacity of their
environment. They exhausted their resource
base, began to die of starvation and thirst, and
fled their cities en masse, leaving them as silent
warnings of the perils of ecological hubris
[overconfidence].…
— Charles C. Mann, 1491: New Revelations of the
Americas Before Columbus
According to this passage, what was a major
question Morley was trying to answer about the
Mayas in the 193os?
(1) Why did the Mayas abandon their cities?
(2) What was the structure of the Maya
governments?
(3) How did religious beliefs affect the Maya
economy?
(4) Which neighboring city-state conquered the
Mayas?
This sentence indicates that Morley was primarily interested in figuring out how the invaders were able to damage the Maya people in the 1930s.
The Maya are a group of Mesoamerican Indians that live in southern Mexico, Guatemala, and northern Belize in nearly continuous territory. More than five million individuals, the majority of whom were multilingual in Spanish, spoke about 30 Mayan dialects at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
The Maya had one of the most advanced civilizations in the Western Hemisphere prior to the Spanish conquest of Mexico and Central America.
They engaged in agriculture, constructed enormous stone structures and pyramidal temples, worked with gold and copper, and employed a hieroglyphic writing system that has now mostly been deciphered.
The Maya established an agriculture centered on the production of corn (maize), beans, and squash as early as 1500 BCE; by 600 CE, cassava (sweet manioc) was being grown. The Maya were a nomadic people who lived in villages.

The Battle of Saratoga was a pivotal moment in the American Revolutionary War because it marked a major victory for the American forces, led to international recognition and support, and boosted their morale.
The Battle of Saratoga was a turning point in the American Revolutionary War because it was a major victory for the American force that boosted their morale and led to international recognition and support. Before this battle, the American colonists were seen as unconventional and had little support from world powers. However, after the Battle of Saratoga, France, Spain, and the Netherlands began to provide the Americans with military aid. This led to an increase in resources and boosted the morale of the American forces, allowing them to continue the war against Britain and eventually win independence.
