Hernán Cortés emprendió un viaje para conocer nuevos lugares, zarpando antes de lo indicado. Él tenía el sueño de dominar muchas tierras
¡Vamos a buscar nuevas tierras con más riquezas!
Cortés heard about the great city of Tenochtitlán and was intent on conquering it.
¿Una ciudad?
Would you like to join me in overthrowing them?
A great city called Tenochtitlán, dominated by the Mexicas. We give them offerings so they don't attack us.
¡yes!¿let's go!
Cortés planned to invade Tenochtitlán, and he made many allies along the way to the Mexica Empire.
¡Yes!
We are going to enter the empire to attack
They arrived at the Mexica Empire and began to fight for territory and wealth.
We have to fight!
The Spanish tried to escape from the Mexica Empire after being arrested, but were caught and wiped out. This event is called "La Noche Triste".
¡Piety! ¡Please!
can you destroy them!
After the Sad Night, Cortés withdrew from the conquest for 1 year to get troops and have a more structured plan on how to conquer the city. Thus, on August 13, 1521, the Mexica Empire fell.
