    Another reason that the Spaniards were able to successfully conquer the Aztec Empire, is that they were able to ally themselves with the Tlaxcaltecas. The Tlaxcaltecas greeted the Spaniards in a friendly manner because they heard about how the Spaniards utterly defeated the Otomi and saw the chance to make a powerful friend and ally. The Tlaxcaltecas used this new alliance to get rid of their enemy the Cholultecas. The Tlaxcaltecas were able to get rid of Cholula by convincing the Spaniards that they had a common enemy in the Cholultecas. For example, the Tlaxcaltecas told Cortes that the Cholultecas were allies of the Aztecs (León-Portilla, pg. 40).…

    Human sacrifice is perhaps one of the most significant themes in the primary source of Bernal Díaz del Castillo’s The History of the Conquest of New Spain. In his volume of Castillo’s eyewitness account, Davíd Carrasco writes two interpretive essays entitled “The Exaggerations of Human Sacrifice” and “Human Sacrifice/Debt Payments from the Aztec Point of View.” As the name suggests, “The Exaggerations of Human Sacrifice” aims to dispute the misrepresentations in Díaz del Castillo’s reports and the bona fide extent in which human violence in the Aztec society was executed. “Human Sacrifice/Debt Payments from the Aztec Point of View” details the Aztecs’ perspective on the ritual killings. Carrasco reasonably argues that the ritual killings of…

    The downfall of the Aztec Empire in the 1500s was brought about by a very bloody and ruthless conquest orchestrated by Spanish conquistadors led by Hernán Cortés. Central America was devastated by the aggression of the European invaders who were ransacking every town for their valuables and subjugating the populace. Much of what is known about the events that unfolded comes from primary sources written by the Spanish participants or the stories written by the native Nahua people a generation or two after the whole affair, whose sources mainly consist of oral tellings of the circumstance from their ancestors. In Victors and Vanquished, Stuart Schwartz attempts to juxtapose these sometimes contradictory sources and explore the situation from…
