CORTES
SPAIN
conquers Aztecs in Mexico (who were ruled by a
leader named Monteczuma). The Aztecs thought
that Cortes was a returned God named
Quetzalcoatl.
Tenochtitlan was the Aztec capitol city (it
is located under what is today Mexico City.
Cortes burned his ships—WHY? (so there was no return home.
This means conquer or die)
He was helped by Spanish who had been enslaved by Mayans and
a female Indian slave named
Malinche who spoke Mayan and one
Aztec language. She learned Spanish and was baptized
with
the name Dona Marina.
The Spanish brought death, conquest, intermarriage (a
racial group known as mestizos), crops, & animals.
