I heard that Hernan Cortes once complained that it is he who brought enormous wealth to the kingdom but no one (including the emperor) is grateful to him. This proudful guy acted like a king in the new land.
I heard someone talking shit without any knowledge of the context. But it was well he should since he represented the Emperor in his stead, risked him and his men's life to gain new vassals and lands, and made possible the first true world power. Carlos feared the power Cortes had gained and, like in Rome of old, he worried Cortes, a loved and pragmatic leader, could establish his own realm on the other side of the ocean. But Cortes stayed loyal to his King. Viva Espana!
Yes, because Charles V did never gave him permission to explore and much less conquer lands, the conquest of mexico in practical terms, was totally illegal, he just went to cuba, ignored the governor, brought some ships, about 600 man and started to explore the coasts of mexico, when he landed in near what today is veracruz, he learned that the territory was full of independent warring states, but there was one big great power, the feared Meshica triple alliance the "aztecs", with a magnificen capital in agreat lake what today is mexico valley, an ultra religious and highly militaristic society, so that you can get an idea of the Aztec, just imagine them as the spartans of the pre-hispanic mesoamerica, they were great, and a very advaced civilization, but also they were very hated by their devastating military campaigns, the speed of their assaults had no rival, they imposed, overwhelming taxes, ritual humiliations, and slavery to defeated enemy realms, Cortes found in these petty kingdoms and lordships, a myriad of allies that wanted freedom from the aztecs at any cost, he astutely maneuvered to build new alliences, unite forces and use their anger to conquer and overthrow the Aztec empire, and even with all that, Aztecs imposed a brutal resistance, but Cortes was an astute man, had good charisma, was a leader forged by adverse situations, the next April 22, 2019 will be exactly 500 years since his arrival, in mexico he is both admired and hated, the mexican city of Veracruz will hold big celebrations.
Bartolome De Las Casas. He was a Spanish religious, defender of the rights of the indigenous people at the beginning of the colonization of the American continent. He was the main defender of the natives and was named "Attorney or universal protector of all Indians of the Indies" Hispanic. It is considered the first defender of human rights in the Americas.
@@ads5886 true, he advised to buy Africans instead, because they weren´t under Spain protection, and could be slaved. The Americans were considered Spanish subjects.
@@MeanGuy969 not in the hispanic countries. And does not Matter, a lot of pure indigenous were into the Spanish army. The first colones in sent to Filipinas were tlaxcaltecas, so...
@@jacoboarca8516 Yes in the Hispanic countries. Just do a little fact check, many indigenous peoples still exist. Majority of people in Peru are most indigenous not half-Hispanic.
Leyenda negra, esos conquistadores mismos son ancestros de los Hispanosamericanos, además que a los indios se los acogió y se mezcló con ellos de hay la Hispanida( formada por indigenas, blancos y negros)
Also even though Friar Bartolome De Las Casas fought against the atrocities the Spaniards had done to the Natives,he recommended the Spanish king to use the African slaves instead to Latin America to replace the Natives as slaves but later on regretted that suggestion.
@@JuanLopez-rl7ry You're rewriting history ! Those atrocities(huge misconduct in the colonies) has been proven. By Friar Bartolome but also Friar Antonio de Montesinos.
@@Skadi609 " Those atrocities(huge misconduct in the colonies) has been proven. By Friar Bartolome but also Friar Antonio de Montesinos." That is rewriting history as you did not show proof and we know that Friars had a different agenda compare to the conquistadors.
@@Skadi609 the atrocities described by Bartolomé are so exaggerated that Bartolomé is not considered a reliable source at all. It is well known that he even made up some stuff. His intention was good, presumably, but to achive the "greater good" he retorted to balme everyone for the crimes of a few and make up things that never happened. Even back in the day many poeple refuted Bartolomé's writings, people who acknowledged there were abuses and mistreatments to the natives and who also fought to end these abuses, but who were enraged by Bartolomé's lies and exagerations that distorted what was really going on. Bartolomé was a megalomaniac, he often insulted people who actually mingled with the natives, lived with them, and knew a lot about their cultures and costumes, while he never bothered to learn any native language and used much more indian auxiliaries than any other friar. It is said that he not even once touched a native. Let alone he took credit for the effort of other people who had been denouncing the abuses long begore he did (complaints he initially ignored and mocked). He was an encomendero, and at the very begining he gave a fuck about native americans. "Those abuses", rather than have been proven, have been disproved. Bartolomé only once refers to soemthing he actually saw. Everything else is "I know by the grace of the Lord", "God granted me knowledge of", "They told me", "People say that"... No serious historian takes Bartolomé siriously. He even confessed that he had exaggerated quite a bit to generate a strong reaction from the Spanish authorities that would put an end to the abuses that were taking place in the other continent. And he was unmasked by people of his time as well. Historical reliance on Bartolomé is as stupid as the geographical one. Again, Bartolomé's aim, presumably to end with the abuses of some conquistadors, was good, but the mothods he used and what he said of many other people who supposedly were on the same boat he was, were despicable. And this allowed for the enemies of Spain back in the day to have something to throw at Spain, doesn't matter that those who reported and denounced the abuses were Spaniards themselves, and that Spain was the only nation at all who actually cared about its american subjects.
@D'lish Donut Nooo please, it's so easy nowadays being informated for not making the idiot figure. There are a lot of verificated studios about this theme that prove that Taino population wasn't sterminated, for a lot of years the most popular theory said that they fleed for Spaniards, but some recent scientifics investigation prove that the 90 per cent of people, who live in country previously occupated by Tainos, have they blood(This is on YT, search it) . Yes, there were a lot of abuses, but they are typical of every conquest in the history of the world and there were a lot of cases in which indigenous women prefer spaniards. Then the things degenerated, but there isn't the perfect society, before our spaniards ancestry things were bad(Not the hell like some people said), then there were bad too, but in a different way and, at least, after the Indipendence came the Hell.
@D'lish Donut And tou are a dumb idealist. It was a war, of course there were deaths and rapes. I mean they are still happening even today let alone 500 years ago. I am not saying those are good things, but it wasn't out of common during those days. Also, de las Casas did say some real things but most of them were exaggerations or isolated cases.
a Spanish historian, Juan Eslava, said in an interview that the difference between the Spanish Empire and other empires that came later is that in Spain there was a Bartolomé de las Casas who denounced injustices. In the rest of the empires there was not and that is why, even today, many people think that the Spanish empire was cruel with respect to other empires. Is right? Don't know. But there is a wonderful phrase in the movie Ben-hur, said by Pilato to Ben-hur himself, when he complains about the treatment that Rome gave his mother and sister that always makes me think: "where there is greatness, great government, great power, and even great sensitivity and compassion, mistakes are big too. Through them we progress and mature" I'm Spanish and I think that the conquest was, on one side and 500 years ago, a feat, but today there is no justification for the conquest of one country over another, human rights must always be respected and imperialist ideas that still remain in many countries must be abandoned. Greetings to all!
The great reality of spain and the americas, two difference worlds. In spain, wasnt slavery but was in the colonies. Bartolome was the first that achieved to showed to spain the reality. There was another one in early XIX. Century that tried to show to the spain what happenned at the colonies and was killed.
Ferdinand and Isabella established that every town in the Americas should had a hospital to attend Spaniards and natives, and Isabella was cristal clear in her will that American natives were subjects of the crown with the same rights as any Spaniard. In the 19th century, once natives lost their rights and protection granted by the Spanish crown, there were extermination wars related to land grabbing by the "liberators". The "great reality" is one you don't know about, you believe the one with no context and full of lies about what Spain did in the Americas.
@@welshpete12 Do you want to know a fun fact? Spanish documented those cruelties because they were against the law since natives were protected as subjects of the Spanish crown. Do you know who in the Americas didn't document anything and ended almost exterminating all natives?
@@alfgui3295 the problem is that if Spain knew what the "some" spaniards did that would have been totally ilegal due to Isabella the wife Fernando forbid the slavery to the natives they were under protection.
lol even british had a hard time beating the indians who's influence was already on the decline. no such thing as india though, its either the delhi sultanate or the mughal empire.
You are wrong. Las Casas even admits later, he exaggerated and used hyperbole to make his point and gain influence for the Church's sake. He was focused only on conversion rather than their loyalties to the Emperor.
