Cortés - Conqueror of Mexico. 1/5

[Graham6762]

You seriously think they had unlimited ammo? You are a truly moronic imbecile, I bet you have never read one history book, ever. This was probably the most amazing military victory ever. All the Aztecs had to do was launch one coordinated attack together.

[pvsg1990]

I am tankful that the spaniards conquered mexico.

[AlberikAlf]

@pvsg1990

Me too.

I love Spanish and Latin American Colonial culture.

While many Radicalized American Hispanics may lament it, the culture that came out of it was beautiful.

When I visited Australia. I passed by a primary school in Brisbane and I witnessed children doing the Mexican hat dance as an activity.

As trivial as it may seem, people half way around the world are doing the Mexican Hat Dance! Not to mention that Mexican food is really popular worldwide.

hernan cortez was no better than the aztecs

[Graham6762]

@alancisneros5 Can you explain the incredible victory then? Clearly he came from a more advanced civilization. He was completely outnumbered. He scuttled his ships to motivate his men, and was the non stationary army in foreign circumstances.

[AlexSpartan]

@Graham6762 Many people don't know this. But the Spanish did not conquer the Aztecs. The Spanish only numbered 1,000 while the Aztecs had 300,000. Even with more advanced weapons and unlimited ammo no army can win a against that. The Spanish won because the had help from the Tlaxcalans. They provided the Spanish with 150,000 soldiers. You can say the Tlaxcalans were army and the Spanish were the Special forces.

[Graham6762]

@AlexSpartan They didn't have unlimited ammo they ran out of gunpowder fairly early and charges, either way they were outnumbered about 11,000 to 1.

@Graham6762

While I'm very much Pro-Spanish.

Spaniards did not do it on their own, not by a long shot.

The Aztecs were despised by other native tribes for their barbarity.

The Spaniards manage to form a coalition with the other tribes and then conquered the Aztecs.

[cybrotius]

Cortes was no Boy Scout but compared to those Mexicans who were into human sacrifice, cannibalism, rape, sodomy and other unpleasantries he was a Saint. Stop glorifying that horrible Aztec culture that would be just as repulsive today as it was back then to the Spaniards who witnessed it.

[jabbakaku]

@cybrotius but they do not colonisaron if nothing is stolen and left in misery throughout what is now Mexico and the few remaining indigenous people crossed white with some 90% of the Indians died aztecs and other races

[coerdelion13]

[HoundofOdin]

This should be called, "Cortes: Spanish War Criminal Remembered for an Underserved Reputation of Brilliance."

[pvsg1990]

such an incredible story, and such a tragety. But anyways this video is very detailed, and fun to watch

[jkred12]

This is a good video for a class project.

[cjcwillis]

he didnt burn his ships, he scuttled them

[maryamiscoolz]

cool video, but there is one bit of false information...

Cortés was not granted permission to sail to Tierre Firme (main land, i.e. México)

:)

[caro29lina]

Awesome, awesome, awesome video series!!!! What a great guy Hernan Cortes was.....that's real warrior!!! I totally admire his willpower to fight such a big Empire!!! We should give him more credit than what he gets, he truly fought for what he wanted.....and he got it....

[topflightmexican]

wow terrible video!! First off there was no MEXICO before Cortes. It was just land with many different tribes. Thanks to the SPANISH, Mexico exists and the people of Mexico.

[euqsabtnatillim]

GOLD STOLEN FROM AMERICAS...GOES TO SPAIN.

MARRY INTO HAPSBURG LINE GOLD GOES TO GERMANIC AUSTRO HUNGARIAN EMPIRE AND VATICAN.

GOLD ID USED TO FIGHT COUNTER REFORMATION AGAINST PROTESTANTS AND THEN ISLAM AT LEPANTO AND IN EAST.

SPAIN LOSES GOLD TO SOVIETS POST SPANISH CIVIL WAR. RUSSIANS KEEP GOLD LEFT THERE FOR SAFE KEEPING BY SPANISH REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT

LESSON: TO ALL YOU TOUGH CYBER GUYS ARGUING ABOUT CORTEZ VS MONTEZUMA THE GOLD WAS FUCKING CURSED-JUST ASK THE SAME FUCKWIT ENGLISH
