    Colonel Juan Nepomuceno Seguin is the only Tejano man in history who would prioritize the needs of a country that would later betray him rather than a country with which his roots lie. However, in a way, his heritage was his downfall when tensions ran high between Mexico and Texas after the revolution. Rumors and lies caused Colonel Seguin to flee the country that he loved, and seek shelter in the country with which he denied his allegiance to on multiple occasions because the people who loved him the most were the same people who wanted him imprisoned for treason.…

    B.) Chapter 3 “Collision at Cajamarca” tells the event of Pizarro- a Spanish conquistador, capturing the emperor of a large Inca tribe name Atahuallpa. Atahuallpa had over 80,000 Indian soldiers, but his were unarmed with nothing except for blunt clubs and thin armor that didn’t protect them from the Spanish soldiers who were able to ride on horseback with advanced guns, and industrialized steel weapons. Although the Spanish soldiers were far outnumbered, they conquered and killed many of the Indians, for they had better weapons. Pizarro was able to capture Atahuallpa, as he was dressed in rich clothing at the time, and held him for captive until he was paid the largest…

    Montezuma Research Paper

    • 792 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Hernando Cortez himself wrote a letter to his King updating him on the progress in Mexico. He explained how Montezuma, who was currently a prisoner, asked to be carried to the roof of his fort to speak to his captains and Aztec people, to convince his people to terminate the war. On the roof, however, one of his own subjects struck him on the head with a stone. The attack was so powerful that Montezuma died three days after the incident. Bernardino de Sahagun translated a collection of native accounts about the death of Montezuma. The story is completely different from Hernando Cortez’s explanation. The accounts were translated from the Aztec’s native language into Spanish by Bernardino de Sahagun, although he presumably altered them minimally. Montezuma and Itzquauhtzin mounted the roof of the fort, and Itzquauhtzin attempted to have the Aztecs surrender. The Aztecs rioted against the idea, and arrows fell upon the roof. The Spaniards used their shields to block Montezuma and Itzquauhtzin on the roof from the arrows. However, four days later the Spaniards threw the dead bodies of Montezuma and Itzquauhtzin out of a window. Diego Duran created a secondary account based on Chronicle X in 1581, providing yet another possible explanation of the death of Montezuma. He explains how the Spaniards imprisoned Montezuma and some noblemen and great Lords. Montezuma was found dead behind bars with a chain around his feet and five dagger wounds in his chest. The other prisoners were found dead lying around Montezuma. The Spaniards had slew the Aztec prisoners prior to fleeing Mexico. Although nobody is completely certain how Montezuma died, assumptions and possible explanations have been made using the given…

    Monctezuma was born in 1466 and died on June 29th 1520. Monectzuma was the leader of the Aztec Empire from 1502 – 1520.

From the beginning Cortes made moves to openly try to undermined Monctezuma. Cortes made early alliances with the know enemies of Monctezuma and the Aztecs. This is not the actions of a good and trust worthy friend. Someone who is trying to become friends with a person they don’t know well doesn’t make friends with their enemies.…

    The victory of the Spaniards has typically been associated with Cortes ' qualities as a leader, and in earlier accounts, with the idea that the culturally superior mental and moral qualities of the Spanish gave way to the defeat of the Aztecs. Moreover, the accounts of Cortes and Diaz point to a Spanish victory led by a God whose determination seemed to have been the eradication of an "empire which did so little to promote the happiness of its subjects, or the real interests of humanity." (2) It is remarkable that such an "uncivilized" civilization could impress the Spanish conquerors to the extent to which they did. The conquerors were, in a very real sense, in awe of the Aztec empire. They "beheld the evidence of a crowded and thriving population, exceeding all they had yet seen." (3) To explain the defeat of the Aztecs in terms of the ideas of manifest destiny purported by…

    Montezuma welcomed Cortes and his men with gold and said that Mexico had been waiting for his arrival; he went on to tell the men to take possession of their houses, and welcomed them to “their lands” . As a result, when the Spaniards began to settle within the area, they kept Montezuma under a close watch. After, Cortes and his men fired a cannon that sent the town in a frenzy of terror. In consequence, the next morning when the Spaniards asked Montezuma for supplies they needed and Montezuma asked the chiefs to get the supplies, they were upset with him but still provided the supplies . As time went on, the Spaniards began searching and seizing all the valuable items of Montezuma and the Aztecs were afraid of the Spaniards, yet still brought them everything they asked for. As time progressed, the Aztecs had a fiesta, and while they were celebrating, the Spaniards just decided to take over and kill many of them. The Spaniards beheaded them, cut their heads into pieces, stabbed them, “no matter how the tried to save themselves, they could find no escape”, it was a truly gruesome event . However, the Aztecs were not the only people that Cortes and the Spaniards encountered. They also came into contact with the local Totonac Indians who were rivals of the Aztecs, and helped aid in Cortes’s later…
