@___TheGOOdWitch False, the spaniards conquered the americas with the help of native americans, in fact they were the vast majority of them who were sick of the aztecs and the incas. Christianity also spread to africa way before the europeans ever contacted them

@AncientHistorry Aztecs put up a much better fight than Incas Pizarro's decapitation strike at Cajamarca was indeed accomplished by guns, horses, and Steel:

Everyone thinks 500 Spaniards conquered the Aztec Empire in 1521 AD. They didn't. In 1519 AD, Tenochtitlan was bigger than Paris, Rome, and London. 200,000 people on a man-made island in the middle of a lake, fed by floating gardens and twin aqueducts of fresh mountain water. Cleaner streets than anywhere in Europe. Two years later it was ash. Here's what actually killed it. The Aztecs ruled by tribute and terror. Subject peoples had to send food, gold, and bodies. Living bodies. For sacrifice. The Tlaxcalans, surrounded by Aztec territory, had been hunted for captives for a century in ritualized "flower wars." They didn't see Cortés as an invader. They saw a weapon. After Cortés landed at Veracruz, scuttled his own ships so his men couldn't retreat, and fought the Tlaxcalans to a standstill, they flipped sides. By the final siege, the "Spanish" army was overwhelmingly indigenous. Over 100,000 native warriors. Cortés was the foreign mercenary in someone else's war. His secret weapon wasn't gunpowder. It was a teenage girl. Malintzin, enslaved Nahua noblewoman, spoke Nahuatl and Maya. She translated, negotiated, exposed an ambush at Cholula, and reshaped every conversation Cortés ever had. Without her, no alliances, no intelligence, no conquest. She is the most consequential interpreter in human history. Then came the virus. April 1520 AD: one infected man stepped off a Spanish ship at Veracruz. Smallpox. The Americas had zero immunity. It moved inland faster than any army. By autumn it reached Tenochtitlan. 40% of the city dead in one outbreak. The new emperor lasted 80 days before it killed him too. The Spanish were already dead men once. On June 30, 1520 AD, the Aztecs nearly wiped them out fleeing the city at night. La Noche Triste. 600 Spaniards and 4,000 allies killed on the causeways. The empire thought it had won. It hadn't. Cortés regrouped in Tlaxcala, built 13 warships in pieces, hauled them over the mountains, and launched a navy on a lake 7,000 feet above sea level. Cut the aqueduct. Starved the city. 93 days of block by block demolition while smallpox burned through the survivors inside. On August 13, 1521 AD, Cuauhtémoc, the last tlatoani, was captured trying to flee by canoe. Mexico City was built directly on top of the rubble. The cathedral sits on stones quarried from the Aztec Great Temple. You can walk to its ruins in five minutes. So what really killed the largest empire in the Americas? Not Spanish steel. Steel plus smallpox plus a translator plus 100,000 furious neighbors plus an emperor who hesitated plus ships portaged over mountains. Remove any one of those and you're reading this in Nahuatl.

@just_urania @C_Westling @Tom_Rowsell @camliekr The Mexica were a hierarchy that used slavery and mass state violence to acquire resources surpluses, gradually expanding through successive migratory exploration while maintaining the *links* between migrants across generations through the hierarchy........that's an empire

@trillwatterson @bo_austin_ El imperio español permitía y alentaba el matrimonio con los nativos desde 1516. El sistema de castas era más sobre el papel que en la práctica, porque ningún español hubiera tenido hijos con una nativa si eso realmente le supusiera bajar en el sistema de castas.

@GestasdeEspaNa También se apareció en Cuzco estando los españoles sitiados por las tropas de Manco Inca, inferiores en número, bajó del cielo con su espada, en un caballo blanco cambiando el curso de la batalla. Desde entonces Santiago "mataindios"

"¿De qué color es el caballo blanco de Santiago?" Esta famosa adivinanza con respuesta implícita recuerda, sin embargo, un hecho legendario: la batalla de Clavijo en el 844, donde Santiago el Mayor se habría aparecido montado en un caballo blanco para ayudar a los cristianos.

Reflections on technological asymmetry, greed, & the conquest of the Aztecs by the Spanish, from Cosmos by Carl Sagan: “Hernán Cortés described their capital Tenochtitlán as "one of the most beautiful cities in the world"…two years later, Cortes utterly destroyed Tenochtitlán"

@2000ruhuyolunda @AngloVarangian Native Americans were ‘wiped out’ by disease, not by Europeans. The Spanish didn’t commit genocide against them, they conquered them and took over the institutions of the Aztec and Incan empires. Christians didn’t kill the Jews either (but Muslims sure want to).

@umritzer1 @MrGreen7282869 @TheShoshon There is Nothing impressive about Killing Civilians, 9/11 would be an Impressive Battle if that was the case
Eli 🇸🇻@silgikore

@am_monarchist What are you even Talking about? 😭 there was no battle at Cajamarca, Spain set up a Diplomatic gathering then killed everyone when they showed up There were no Combatants, everyone was Unarmed and the Incan army were Miles away

@PunishedNadja Yet if I were to say the same thing about the conquistadors and the Aztecs, you'll go apoplectic. Difference is, the Aztecs actually were mass-murderers who performed large scale human sacrifices.

@vvvvvictoria_ @Imma_GENE_Us There is video of another reporter who heard the shots, asked "what is that?", then tried to get a closer look. They didn't even consider it might be gunfire.
