What is the history of St Stephens in Hyde Park?
I wondered the same & learned that St. Stephens was originally a Christian Science church. When the congregation dwindled, the building was sold to St. Stephens, and they used it for a number of years, until they, too, could no longer sustain it. It was eventually sold to developers, who plan to turn it into condominiums. The plan has been around for a while, but seems to be going nowhere, while the building continues to deteriorate. Its fine organ is long gone, and it is not being maintained in any way, as far as I can tell. The developers have a plan to keep the facade and put up a very large building behind it. Neighbors have been working with them to get them to modify their design, but it has been a while since we have heard anything about their intentions.
What land did Hernando Cortes explored?
Hernando Cortes explored Mexico. Particularly the Mexican Plateau, where the land is flat, and there are many minerals. This was also the land inhabited by the Aztecs, the indigenous people of Central Mexico. The Aztecs had a huge empire that was very complex for the time. People paid "taxes" to the "government" in return for many benefits of being part of the Aztec empire, such as going to school. The Aztecs had a very large army with spears and big sticks they used a clubs, and Hernando Cortes had only one or two hundred men with him, and defeated the mighty Aztecs because his men had swords and guns, which are much more effective. There are many long-term effects of this, and they are that they speak Spanish in Mexico, and their religion is mainly Roman Catholic. If Hernando Cortes had not conquered the Aztecs, people in Mexico would probably speak the Nahuatl language, the language of the Aztecs, and the people would be the religion of the Aztecs, but I am not sure what that is called.

Who westernized Russia?
Peter the Great contributed most, including reving arts, building up the Navy, and moving the capitol from Moscow to St.Petersburg. Catherine the Great was also a leader that seeked to advance Russia, but wasn't taken too seriously, being a woman. A series of weak tsars afterwards resulted in Russia actually going backwards to feudalism.
