Conquistador History: Cortés and Montezuma

Hernán Cortés is trying to regain wealth from the United States rather than conquering the state but he and his conqueror were in charge of the death of Emperor Azteca, consistent with the return of God of Quetzalcóatl. Between 1502 and 1520, during the peak of their mighty empire, the Aztecs possessed the most famous ruler in history. Montezuma II born in 1466 proved to be a young warrior and a politician with outstanding lineage, became Emperor of Aztec in 1502 after the death of his uncle Axakatl Emperor.

In April 1519, the Spanish conquistor Helnan Cortez and his soldiers landed on the coast of Mexico. Montezuma II gave gift and chocolate gifts to Cortez to welcome the Spaniards. Montezuma II does not trust Cortez, but he is also worried that Cortez is Quetzalcoatl of Azteca. Aztec's myth tells Quetzalcoatl to come to Earth as a person, and Cortes arrived at Quetzalcoatl's birthday. Cortes arrived with about 500 men, 16 horses and several cannons. He will build a small settlement and eventually will be the city of Veracruz. He also began to understand local people. He took a woman named American Indian Donna Marina as an interpreter. Cortez has established an alliance with local tribes including Totonac and Tlaxcalans

Spanish Hernan Cortes arrived in Veracruz in 1519. Trusting that Cortez might be Quetzalcoatl of a zombie, King Azteca Moctezuma II invites conquistadors to Tenoktitran. This gesture became disastrous because Cortes formed many ally on its way to the city. In May 1521, Cortes and his followers attacked and conquered Azteca. Cortez colonized the area and named it Nueva Espana (New Spain). By 1574, Spain dominated the majority of the Aztec empire and enslaved most of the heterogeneous population. To make matters worse, the disease brought to society by the Spaniard destroyed the indigenous people of Nueva España. And it estimated that 24.12 million people were killed between 1521 and 1605.
