- Hola amigos! I am Hernan Cortez and I was born in Spain in 1485
- Let me tell you about my adventurous life...
- Mexico
- I am often called the greatest Conquistador of the Age of Exploration because I conquered The Aztec Empire for Spain in 1519 ... impressed yet?
- Spain
- DO AS I SAY!
- My boss and mentor Diego Velasquez first ordered me to explore the unknown lands of Mexico... then tried to stop me.... unsuccessfully
- Yeah right...
- Once in Mexico I had a brilliant idea: burn my ships. Now they were all stuck with me and there was no going back... HAHAHAHAHA
- I took my men to the capital of the Aztec Empire: Tenochtitlan looking for gold and treasure. And can you believe it? The great Moctezuma II treated me like a god!
- "And you have the power in all this land to command what is your pleasure"
- These guys are nicer than I thought...
- My plan to conquer the empire quickly almost failed when some Aztecs started doubting my 'godliness'
- These guys are just men
- But fortunately, Moctezuma wanted to believe....
- Then, on the 13th of August in 1521 I striked conquering Tenochtitlan and killing 240,000 people!HOW IS THAT FOR A CONQUISTADOR? HUH?!
