- In 1519, an extraordinary military event took place in Meso-America. Against all odds, Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés led a tiny mercenary expedition that would cause the downfall of the great Aztec Empire and bring large portions of mainland Mexico under Spanish rule.
With the help of native allies that had been terrorized by their Aztec neighbour, Cortés managed to conquer the Aztecs, with only 600 Spanish soldiers, 15 horsemen and a number of cannons.
Upon arrival, he ordered to sink his own ships, to make a statement to his men that there was no way back.
When the conquistadors entered the great valley of central Mexico in November and for the first time saw the magnificent city of Tenochtitlan, they could hardly believe their eyes.
In front of them lay an island, seemingly fastened to the mainland with bridges and was four times larger than Seville, the last city they had seen before they went out to sea. Both the houses and the streets shined with a white light.
Hernán Cortés was believed to be Quetzalcoatl, a legendary god who controlled the lightning and was expected to return that same year, according to myth and the Aztec calendar.
Cortés and his men took advantage of this coincidence and captured the emperor Moctezuma, who ultimately ended up dying by the hands of his own people. Some 2 years later, the Aztec culture was more or less destroyed.
The story and events repeated itself in 1532, when a relative to Cortés, by the name of Francisco Pizarro, conquered the Incas with a mere 106 soldiers and 62 horsemen.
Why were the Spaniards so successful?
The answer is: ''Guns, germs and steel''. They had the advantage of steel armor and weaponry, early firearms known as arquebuses and cannons, powerful crossbows and of course the horse, an animal which was not indigenous to the Americas. They also brought war dogs with them. Though in the end, the biggest factor was the diseases they had unknowingly taken with them aboard their ships from Europe. Native Americans had no defence against such an enemy. - Hudba

According to European accounts it was Aztec enemies who were responsible for the massacres and then a lack of immunity to Old World disease wiped out a large portion of the native population, including allies.

Hi! you comment that the Spanish were successful because of their armor, their swords and firearms. Regarding the latter, remember to give an example that in the battle of Otumba 600 Spaniards fought, 3,000 allied Indians against 100,000 Aztecs. He thinks that arquebuses are avant-load weapons and despite being terrifying in the eyes of the Aztecs they recharged very slowly. Cortes' ingenuity was that in a desperate attack he decided to kill the Aztec military general, which he did. this fact in those latitudes at that time that meant the end of the battle. The Aztec Indians fled in terror when they saw their leader fall. Another very important fact was that certain epidemic diseases unknown until then in the American continent such as smallpox, measles, typhoid fever, typhus and influenza, decimated the population and opened the door to the conquest of all Mesoamerica. And to top it off, do not forget the help, as you well said, from other Indian tribes that lived under the yoke of the Aztec tribe.
This is ‘techonology’ from the 1500s, not the 21st century. Gun powder an innovation imported from Asia was fairly primitive, it was unreliable (often failing to work properly or at all) and slow (took a long time fire just one shot, leaving a shooter vulnerable to being killed) due to hot humid weather and the range it could hit a target accurately was rather limited. The thick jungle also made carrying cannons around impractical and burdensome.
Armour was heavy and cumbersome and it slowed down and tired out those wore it in hot and humid conditions so many Europeans didn’t and some opted for lighter indigenous armor instead.
Horses and military tactics would have initially taken the indigenous populations by surprise but would have eventually adjusted and not remained an advantage for long.
Steel was an advantage but off set by being heavily outnumbered so relying on allies was critical to not be overwhelmed.
@@jamesburke1039 Steel was an advantage yeah, but obsidian was a much more lethal material with the trade off of often breaking after a few hits. Spain wasn’t as overpowered as people think, individual bravery, sicknesses, and competent commanders were what made Spain win.
En Otumba no habia pólvora ni para arcabuces y cañones.
Se había perdido en la Noche Triste.
Sobre las enfermedades afectaron por igual a enemigos y aliados.
Los tlaxcaltecas no eran inmunes a ellas, lógicamente.
Sobre ls tàctica de descabezar a la serpiente no fue empleada por la "ingenuedad" de Cortés.
Cortés era buen observador y como tal sabía que la pobre tàctica mexica se derrumbaba en el momento en que su lider cae derrotado.
Ni siquiera tenían una cadena de mandos para poner orden si esi ocurría.
Cortés demostró en Otumba ser un gran estratega.
Spanish Scouts: "Sir we have found a far off land full of gold. resources, and more."
Conquistador's : *"I'LL TAKE YOUR WHOLE STOCK!"*
ill take your entire stock!
you had me at "Gold"
Crediting diseases would make more sense as a lack of immunity to Old World pandemics was what wiped out a large portion of the native population not warfare.
@@jamesburke1039 sir what does this have to do with the meme
The true moral of this story, is do not brutal Oppress and use your neighboring tribes for human sacrifice so much that they decide to join a small band of strange metal shirt wearing mean

People already knew the world was round.
They already knew the earth is round but the rest is pretty based
The armies that defeated the Aztecs were mostly local indigenous enemies, not Europeans. The lack of immunity to Old World diseases wiped out a large portion of the indigenous population, including allies, rather than warfare.
It was these circumstances that allowed Westernized mestizos, who had better immunity and outnumbered people of European ancestry early in the colonial period, to gain the ascendancy and prosper at the expense of the indigenous population and gradually assimilated, voluntarily or by force, the native population spread across the region.
This was a long process as after the fall of the Aztecs many indigenous populations were not under European rule and remained autonomous for centuries. Which resulted in Spanish being spread by mestizos and becoming interwoven into the cultural fabric in the Americas in a similar manner to other languages.
Although the ‘empire’ originated from Europe, the people in the Americas that sustained and inhabited these colonies were mostly of indigenous and mixed ancestry.
Unlike what happened with English colonies that remained primarily European in ancestry and gradually repelled back other indigenous populations in their expansion to the West, with help from occasional convenient temporary native alliances.

Why would you thank God spaintards. Each nation they colonized went downhill.
@@calo-kg2cy not sure if you really believe so or you're just being edgy. The capital of the Aztec empire had the largest and most sophisticated in the world prior to Spanish conquest but right after the spaintards invaded it turned into ruins.
I mean not to talk about Andalucia that was the capital of science in Europe before the spaintards take over or Peru that had the Incas.
Spaniards fucked the Aztecs and turned us into Mexicans lol

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE OF THE UNITED STATES (13 COLONIES)
JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, - That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. - Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. - And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

@@lkstar75 Después de la caída de los aztecas, los presos indígenas que estaban muriendo de enfermedades fueron torturados sádicamente por europeos y los que sobrevivieron fueron trabajados hasta la muerte, y su número disminuyó hasta el punto de que se importaron esclavos de África para reemplazar esa mano de obra. Además, los herejes fueron quemados en la hoguera y los paganos asesinados a través de la Inquisición en Europa. Decir así que la colonización europea "civilizo" es una afirmación bastante erronea.
