Thrown to the Dogs
War dogs provided an especially frightening tool of war. Greyhounds and mastiffs were used most commonly, kitted out in their own
quilted armour. The dogs were often trained to attack their victims in the abdomen and genitals. They were fed human body parts to
encourage their killer instinct.
Smallpox was especially catastrophic for the natives of the Americas.
The smallpox pandemic began in Hispaniola in December 1518. It spread to Mexico in 1520, along the Caribbean coast 1525-7, and
