ConquestOfTheAztecs
Montāžas Teksta
- Montezuma II didn't trust Cortes or his men but brought them food and gold as gifts to welcome them. He worried that Cortes was the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl as Aztec mythology said that the god would appear in the shape of man and Cortes arrived on Quetalcoatl's birthday.
- April 1519
- While on his way to Tenochtitlan, the capital city of the Aztec Empire, Cortes conquered some cities along the way and made alliances with others. The Tlaxcalans became his most closest allies since the Aztecs raided their cities for people to sacrifice to their gods.
- We,the Tlaxcalans, would love to be your ally, Sir Cortes.
- Montezuma II tried to keep Cortés from getting all the way to Tenochtitlan, but Cortés continued his march. He destroyed the Aztec religious city of Cholula along the way.
- When Cortés finally arrived in Tenochtitlan he was welcomed with gifts and invited inside. Montezuma was still concerned that Cortés might be a god. Eventually tensions mounted between the two sides and a fight broke out. Cortés and his men took King Montezuma captive.
- At some point during his captivity, Montezuma II was killed. Historians still aren't sure how he was killed or why, but after he died the Spanish soldiers tried to flee from Tenochtitlan. They were attacked by the Aztecs as they fled and nearly two-thirds of the soldiers were killed.
- PLEASE DON'T.
- KILL HIM
- Cortés managed to escape with some of his men from Tenochtitlan. He gathered a large force of natives including the Tlaxcalans to fight the Aztecs. He returned to Tenochtitlan and laid siege to the city. After three months of fighting, he finally took control of the city and completed his conquest of the Aztec Empire.
