Let Me Tell You About... Cortez and the Aztecs

[@ThatguycalledJoe]

More History With Aleks, huh? Let Me Tell You About - Featuring the only history lessons that don't make you want to bang your head against the wall 'til you're back in the Stone Age! I know it's impossible, but I love the idea that Cortez's "I told you I was the right man for the job." letter had a photo of Cortez doin' the fingerguns.

[@andresanlozada2495]

Aside from some inaccurancies and getting the time line mixed up, this is a far better retelling of the story than the Amazon series. That Hernán series is basically "Cortés did nothing wrong: the series"

[@Aleks251]

Cortez and Columbus are really similar. Both of them are massive assholes, but people are where they are today because of them, so they try to downplay a lot of their crimes.

[@nilktots6380]

but did they include the fact he shit himself to death with dysentery after going into debt?

[@DaBlueJay2001]

I legitimately really love Aleks explaining history and I'd love to see more history based episodes!

[@caffeinatedbeverage4]

I'd definitely love to see more of these history episodes! Also as a Native American I never realized just how intertwined Mexican culture and Aztec culture are, here in the U.S. my tribe's customs only extend to the reservation borders 🤔

[@andresanlozada2495]

Little fact: while the eagle story is true, another reason why the Aztecs were confined to the swamp was a punishment, because when the Aztecs arrived to the valley they killed the local chief's daugther and had a priest skin her and basically do the Buffalo Bill Goodbye Horses dance

[@Aleks251]

Id love to do an episode on the Aztecs themselves because their history is pretty buts, but i wanted to stay focused on Cortez himself for this

[@andresanlozada2495]

[@CadBrad]

I like the variety this podcast has gone through over time. Personal stories to media discussion to questions and answers to history lessons.

[@roland3042]

LMTYA the Crusades. This would be amazing.

[@Stormfin]

There are like seven of them, not including the Peasant's Crusade, the Children's Crusade, and another Peasant's Crusade way later on. Alex would either have to multi-part, crunch everything down as small as possible, or just pick the better ones, like the first and second.

[@TheBleedingAlien]

Saw this episode early on the website, it's really good. Can you guys please make more of these history based episodes in the future? They're really funny and entertaining, and actually makes history seem a lot more interesting than initially thought.

[@carnotv6136]

I nearly coomed when I got the notification.

[@Frerichs1962]

"Nearly"? I already did! Twice!

[@harryamling62]

I love these history episodes, thanks Aleks.

[@t1dotaku]

I'd love to have more history lessons from Aleks. I love history but this makes it 100x better

[@-revox-6301]

I wish Aleks was my History teacher when I was in school

[@torsotwister1500]

this is saving this podcast

[@devalk_]

The best episodes are always the ones where you tell a story, be that personal or history or whatever

[@Mrturtle444]

I'm really liking these history episodes, you guys should probably make some more of them

[@Workman743]

"We were probably in the wrong in the Alamo. I don't know anything about the Alamo, but we were probably the bad guys." Fun Fact: The Texan Revolution was started by wealthy plantation owners who migrated into Texas and refused to give up their slaves when Mexico abolished slavery.

[@merric4754]

It was more that the Mexican government was enforcing abolition and centralization in general on all it's autonomous regions. Texas wasn't the only region to rebel and did so several years after the official abolition of slavery.

Aleks hell yeah loving the history episodes btw

[@autumn9931]

I miss these episodes, Aleks has a real talent for history storytelling. Even if it is only somewhat accurate.

[@austinboring2084]

More history podcasts from you guys? I'm about to coom

[@sparkysparks2145]

You boys did a splendid job with this podcast. You guys should make a spin off like Noise Boyz called History Heathens or something. Either way, keep up the good work dudes, and have an awesome new year.

[@ikenzemonninja]

i really enjoy these history vids. it’s pretty hilarious kinda like drunk history but better.

[@nexusgiga]

Cortez has the highest luck stat in history I swear

[@ludicrousfalcon413]

As a history nerd, these history episodes are great!

[@richardcrankshaw8480]

This is like getting tutoring from my cool history teacher except he doesn’t ask for any illicit favors

My dad makes the hot chocolate that way. Its called molé and we don't drink it in a cup like they did. We kinda dribble it over chicken and eat it with tortillas. It's amazing.

[@Vegem1ghty]

Yo, these history episodes are pretty baller, pretty kino. I'd be down to get more of these in the future

[@melloweyeV]

Been loving the history LMTYA

[@abracadaver2349]

Haven’t listened yet, but I hope he says another “what if I just coomed on it” line

[@MegaBichiX]

so what you are telling me is that Cortez's noble phantasm is to drive a boat on land and summoning a bunch of Mejicas to fight side by side with his Conquistadors

[@rustyshackleford5665]

What a awesome episode. I actually learned a lot and it was very entertaining. Aleks should be a history teacher.

[@youretheslow4237]

Having almost a week to sink everything in, I will definitely be on board with LMTYA History segments, but it must always include T-Posing.

[@Xantheman6283]

Please do more history episodes these are fucking amazing

More aleks history episodes plz

[@mediocreswiss7609]

We started the war with Mexico on shakey grounds and Lincoln had an unpopular opinion of going against it with his spot resolution. This is an overly simplistic view but that's the jist.

[@Frerichs1962]

I want someone to turn this into a SFM/G Mod video of this.

[@InfernoDragon1]

I definitely want to see more of these "History Lessons with Aleks" episodes. I wanna see how he explains the fucking dumpster fire that was World War One and some of the bat-shit crazy things that happened during that war.

[@Lamenters1stCompanyCpt]

[@nicolasdecroce3388]

Is this gonna be as accurate as when you talked about the Japanese invasion of Korea back in 1592 and Ming China intervened spreading their communist beliefs in what would eventually become North Korea/South Korea border. You know, 300 years before the guy who thought of communism was even born. This is like the Australia upside down thingy

[@toolala3908]

If Alecks was my History teacher I wouldn't have dropped off school.

Thank you Aleks. Very cool.....now when the fuck are you gonna do an episode about the Ottomen Empire?!

[@venyogo2]

do one on india, they probably have something cool

[@ernestogomez2708]

Yeah they had a sizeable Greek population in ancient times thanks to Alexander the Great

[@cia4u401]

just wanted to say that I love these history podcast you guys have been making so far, I could listen to Aleks talk about how X empire T posed Y empire out of existance for hours also Tad what did you even mean you always wondered what did the spanish have to do with south america if they all the way over europe? that's like saying what did the english have to do with north america if they're all in their shitty islands in bumfuck nowhere
