Conquistador Describes Meeting the Aztecs

[@kerry9125]

Bernal Diaz, the soldier mentioned here who accompanied Cortez, wrote a book about these events. The book is called The Conquest of New Spain and is a fascinating story. He wrote the book in his old age to set the record straight of how Cortez allied with the surrounding tribes to defeat the Aztecs.

The only people happy at the fall of the Aztecs were local tribes that had been persecuted and murdered by the Aztecs. The Spanish were smart to ally with tribes that had a disdain for the Aztecs. If the Spanish had not arrived when they did the Aztecs may have built an empire 3 or 4 times its size. Subjugating and enslaving other tribes much like the Romans did in Europe. This video definitely deserves a part 2 and 3 😊

It’s called divide and rule , typical European invader tactic

[@teamcrypto8865]

This is true. People don’t talk about the tribes that were tired of the Mexica ruling over them so they asked the Spaniards to lead them into battle against Mexica. The girl Malinche or Marina who was a translator was done wrong by her mother and stepfather. She was sold to another tribe by them who then sold her to another tribe where she was eventually given to the Spaniards. Human sacrifice was a part of the cultures in the Americas as well. I don’t agree with the Spaniards on a lot of things, but the Human sacrifice was cut out mostly. Keep in mind when I say Spaniards I am just talking about who was leading the charge, but if you search it out one will find that it wasn’t just the Spaniards that we typically think about. There were people from all over Europe, Africans, slaves and others who were a part of conquering what we now call Mexico.

Check out the Book Maya Conquistador written by Professor Mathew Restall he gives sources on the many tribes that joined the Spanish military and how Indigenous people outnumbered the Spanish in their own Military at a rate of 30 to 1 the Spanish couldn't navigate through the land without the help of the local tribes who assisted them

These were the allies of the Spanish and all involved must have understood the tension involved. The city dwellers aware of the local tribes and the constant warring between the two. The tribal rural peoples. obviously, cautious and careful around the city maintained an alliance with the Spanish. After all, the enemies of the Aztecs were still all around them.

[@EUSA1776]

There was a shipwrecked Spanish friar by the name of Gerónimo de Águilar who learned to speak Maya after living among them for 10 years, he helped Cortes up unto the point where he could no longer understand the language because Nahuatl was then being spoken. Luckily, a captured princess of a Nahua tribe was gifted to Cortes and his men (this was a common way to form alliances in that time - I give you women of my tribe for you to marry and have children with so we can be family and form alliance). We will never know her real name, though she was baptized as Marina. There is no “r” sound in Nahuatl so the natives called her “Malina” - and because of the title of respect in Spanish of “Doña” they added their own suffix of “-tzin.” Therefore they called her “Malinantzin.” And because Cortes was with her all the time Moctezuma called Cortes “Malinantzine” or “owner of Malinantzin.” The Spanish changed this to “Malinche” so really Cortes is el Malinche but this name has been given to Marina incorrectly over time. And yes she did betray the Aztecs - they were cutting hearts out of people on a daily basis, I think we can forgive her for translating.
