The Works of Hubert Howe Bancroft, Vol. 10 (Classic Reprint)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the aftermath of the fall of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, to Spanish conquistadors led by Hernán Cortà s in 1521. After a brutal siege and the death of the Aztec emperor, Cuauhtà moc, the Spaniards set about rebuilding the city, which formed a crucial stage in the Spanish conquest of Mexico. The construction of a new capital, later renamed Mexico City, involved the labor of tens of thousands of native peoples and the destruction of many Aztec monuments. The author delves into the challenges faced by Cortà s in establishing Spanish rule, the conflicts between conquistadors and royal officials, and the efforts to convert the indigenous population to Christianity. Through the lens of this pivotal event, the book explores the complex relationship between the Spanish conquerors and the native inhabitants of Mexico, shedding light on the power dynamics and cultural clashes that shaped colonial Mexico. It serves as a valuable resource for gaining a deeper understanding of the complexities of European colonialism and its impact on indigenous civilizations in the Americas.
