Actually, Aztecs believed that their gods had once blood-let for them, and sacrifice was a way of re-paying that debt. So Michael Wood cannot sensationalize that only the Christian god had ever given blood.
Just because they had steel, guns n horses didn't make the aztecs get defeated. The Spanish had about 200,000 natives helping them fight off the aztecs. If it wasn't for that, Spanish would of got slaughterer with all that.
@spudnick3490 genocide was in north america by britards, look down on south america, indian blood is strong, the rest is british difamation propaganda to take down spanish glory, historical cultural impact, achievements and greatest empire ever seen upon earth, britards even stole the say by the emperor "The sun never sets on Hispannia"
Genocide was never committed by the British in North America or anywhere in the Americas. The genocides were committed by the Americans in the 19th century.
"look down on south america, indian blood is strong," What? You mean the population of Latinos who are just products of the Spanish rape of natives? Your country has done nothing good for the world. Ever wondered why South American countries are poor? Because Spain destroyed EVERYTHING.
@spudnick3490 well a britard a-hole.. you will be speaking arab and praying to mahoma if it weren't for us, otoman empire would have reached austria then you, i take no directions from a nation who change their religion just because of a fag tudor, some sucker islands profiting of scavenge on others nation wars, backstabers and pirates, with no moral ground, biggest enslavers,hipocrites and cretines in history.
"mahoma" Do you have a brain at all? It's "Muhammad".
"of a fag tudor, " Is that the height of your vocabulary? "Fag"? You are an idiot. And no. We didn't change religion because of "a fag tudor". We changed it because of the growing number of Protestants in England.
"profiting of scavenge on others nation wars, backstabers and pirates, with no moral ground, biggest enslavers,hipocrites and cretines in history. " More meaningless insults backed up by nothing. I find it amusing coming from a Spaniard. Since you committed worldwide genocides, were the biggest contributors to the slave trade and also invented the concentration camp in the Cuban independence revolution.
@spudnick3490 Theres an ocean of difference between brave people that stand up for something and sacrifice and the crawling mags that take no position and wait some where beyond shame and degeneration for the wind to blow. That's why you didn't took part in 2nd world war from the begining, and never confronted a nation directly, and just waited like the scum u are. Your biggest achievement is that you live on a shitty land where nobody ever had the minimal interest.
"didn't took part in 2nd world war from the begining" I'm sorry what? Do you know history at all? Britain declared war on Germany when Germany invaded Poland. That started World War 2. Britain was in the war and survived it throughout the entire war.
"never confronted a nation directly" I wouldn't say fighting Germany constantly in the air and sea is "indirect". We also were the biggest contributor to the invasion of France and helped resistance movements all over Europe.
Oh and don't forget that we fought in the rest of the world aswell. We fought the Italians and Germans in Africa, fought the Japanese in Burma, Australia, Singapore and helped Chinese troops fighting the Japanese. And you would call that "indirect"? I also find it amusing coming from a Spaniard since your country wasn't even in the war.
Now please. Read a book on history, since you clearly have no idea.
@spudnick3490 2nd world war started on spain, with our civil war, we fought the nazis and the fascists all alone during 3 years of war, that takes cojones, 3 years of civil resistane against 3 different military machineries, read yourself a litle bit more about anything, international brigades, whatever just read some true history before opening your dirty little mouth, dog.
The Spanish civil war was NOT the beginning of the second world war. That is the silliest and most arrogant thing I've ever heard. The nationalists won the Spanish civil war. The nationalists had much larger support than the Republicans. You didn't fight Germany, Italy and Portugal. You fought each other. "all alone" You were backed by many democratic countries including France. The Republicans were hardly "alone".
Also. Why do you refer to the Republicans as the Spanish people as a whole? When it was the nationalists who had the biggest support in Spain? Hence why they had superior man power. "true history" Says the guy who says world war 2 started in 1936 rofl. It was Spanish troops fighting Spanish troops each with different equipment from other countries. You really no nothing about YOUR OWN history, do you? Never mind world history.
Genius Zionists, they cut their labor costs by leaving their "brave warriors" behind to be killed so no one has to pay them, not Montezuma and not Cortez, not the church or the state either. No benefits for 800 "brave warrior" how godly.
This is the story of how Freemason Zionist racketeers of Spain and Mexico united to kill the citizens of Mexico after forcing them to accept the most stupid idea ever conceived by man, that of an invisible man that created everything. Spain and Mexico's Freemason Zionist racketeers united under the military leadership of a lawyer, Cortez, and the effeminate, half-Jew/half-Mexican Montezuma to do a biblical genocide on people whose idiot leaders duped into believing in invisible men.
Montezuma said, "Oh, my lord, they said you would take human form my lord and walk on Earth, my lord, and that you would come to take our gold, my lord. My lord, it is true, isn't it, my lord, that this wealthy city and all of the women are yours, my lord. My lord, I like calling you, my lord, because it make what I say sound so important whenever I say "my lord," my lord. So, my lord, now you will kill everyone, my lord. You will rob and killl us for your heaven, my lord. How lordly, my lord.
@ivanahumpalot420 urll full of bullshit, hispanic history? its Mexican history, the word hispanic is a word to say fuck your native history and power to the spanish.
The spanish had a advantage of defeating the AZTECS. The aztecs defeating themselves due to religions belifs that the old rule named Quetzacolt would return and retake his throne, the leader Moctezuma belief in this myth, and when Cortez showed up he confused him with Quetzacolt because they both look the same. So Moctezuma failed and his people got masscre because he basically gave up.
@ivanahumpalot420 wen u say hispanic do you mean the conquerers or the conquered ?
as a puerto rican i am taino 'indian' and therefor not a latino,sum1 of spanish speaking decent since tainos didnt speak spanish.same for the mexica(mexican today) what u call aztec.
I think is 'funny' how the Conquistadors brought Christianity yet had a great deal of hunger for gold and taking over the masses. Doesn't sound very Christian to me. The Aztec ideology with polytheism and sacrifices wasn't very appealing either. Anyway, not criticizing nor trying to open a can of worms. I'm just making an observation.
@tekparasite the lust for gold had nothing to do with the Conquistador's religion, but rather the European economic system of mercantilism at the time
@SpiroHrvoje1989 I can see how (even today) people don't see the connection. When you really (and I mean really) dissect human behavior to the lowest common denominator, you'll find that contradiction. But oh well, let's keep thinking that an economic system that alters human actions to murder, distortion, lies etc, has nothing to do with Christian values because those are separate. :)
There's a small mistake a the very end. "The night of tears" is not the correct translation. The night that the Spanish tried to escape, but were caught and many killed was called "la noche triste" in Spanish. That means the sad night, or the night of sadness, The night of tears would be "la noche de las lágrimas".
HOO MI SEÑOR DEBES ESTAR FATIGADO DE TU LARGO VIAJE FINALMENTE HAZ DECENDIDO A TU CIUDAD DE MEXICO LA CUAL E CUSTODIAD ,DECIAN QUE REGRESARIAS Y AHORA LO HAZ HECHO PERO PRIMERO VE A TU PALACIO Y VE EN PAZ. PARECE SER QUE MOCTEZUMA SI PENSABA QUE ERA CORTEZ ERA UN DIOS
@2MOCTEZUMAXOCOYUTZIN Nunca creyó que era un dios. No hay evidencia prehispanica que lo diga. El mito que Cortez era un dios; lo que se sabe es que este mito fue escrito por sacerdotes aztecas DESPUES de la conquista para enaltecer los españoles. Lee bien mi comentario.
Strange, I thought Cortes had executed Montezuma, and here it says his own people killed him? Or am I confusing this with Atahuallpa the Inca King and Pissaro?
@Yogiphildas Moctezuma was stoned by his own people for representing the ideals of the spanish with him. Cuauhtemoc was the last Aztec emperor to make a stand against the spanish
wtf this fool didn't even mention the massacre that the Spaniards committed when the Aztecs were celebrating the party of uitzilopochtli in the place called teoitualco. GAY
No mamen pinches gringos de mierda aprendan nahuatl y luego dicen mamadas en el nahuatl no existe el termino dios es mas en el nombre de huitzilopochtli no existe esa palabra traducido seria colibri zurdo nada que ver con guerra ni con dios teotl significa energia interna y guerra es yaoyotl(teotl se parace a theus del griego,deus del latin ydios del español)por eso los mugrosos lo tradujeron como dios por la similitud que hay entonces si quisieran decir dios de guerra seria yaoyoteotl.
Orale pues parece que si sabes mucho de Nauhalt pero ahora siempre se le conoce a hutzilopochtli como del dios de la guerra pero aparte hutzilopochtli

al fin de cuentas me dan pena los pobres incas. Pero yo creo que no hubiera sido diferente si los hubieran invadido otro pueblo: todas las conquistas tienen 2 caras, los que ganan y los que pierden (y son estos últimos los que sufren más que nadie).
