Spanish Conquistadors vs. Aztec Warriors : Hernan Cortes & The Death Of Montezuma
Less than 30 years after Christopher Columbus’ first voyage to the “New World”, a group of Spanish conquistadors led by Hernan Cortes march into an urban metropolis that is bigger than anything they had ever seen in Europe.
There are markets, neighborhoods, endless crops, massive pyramids with thousands of nearly vertical steps that seemed to ascend into the clouds, and a zoo, complete with an extensive collection of jungle snakes, birds, and a pair of bison, all of which are the first of their kind these Spaniards had ever seen.
On most days, the markets bustle, the crops are worked, and citizens and slaves alike go about their daily tasks as they would in any city throughout the world at the time. But today, it is cloaked in silence.
Even before the arrival of the Spanish, the internal workings of the Aztec hierarchy had been fraught with deceit, scandal, nepotism and greed. Many of those serving under Montezuma feel that the ruler is not only unfit to serve his people, but actively leading them into disaster.
Increasingly, Montezuma’s own subjects have begun to disdain and mistrust him, and a pall of social and political unrest settled over the city of Tenochtitlan.
Cortez now hopes to capitalize on this internal unrest, and take over the mighty metropolis of Tenochtitlan as well as the Aztec Empire. To do so, he knows he will have to overthrow Montezuma.
Montezuma, for his part, knows his days are numbered as the god-king of his people.
Now, two empires collide, and the world will never be the same.
