    A. This document describes how although all narratives about the people and cultures begin with the arrival of Europeans too much credit is being given to their “discoveries” because before the Europeans the Native Americans (Aztecs) were doing the things the Europeans claimed to be doing first. The Aztecs came up with a way of living and a way of doing things before the Europeans did. Before the Europeans arrival the Aztecs had already created a powerful Empire.…

    When discussing the importance of Spanish alliances, it is important to discuss Matthew Restall’s interpretation of “the myth of the white conquistador”. A common myth in regards to the Spanish Conquest is that the Aztecs were conquered by a small group of white Spanish men. Within Restall’s book titled “Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest”, he debunks the myth of the white conquistadors. Restall’s argues that “there is no doubt that the Spanish were consistently outnumbered by native enemies on the battlefield. But what has so often been ignored or forgotten is the fact that Spaniards tended also to be outnumbered by their own native allies. Furthermore, the invisible warriors of this myth took an additional form, that of the Africans, free and enslave, who accompanied Spanish…

    Restall’s work in this book administers a revitalizing dose of truth to historic and modern misconceptions of the Spanish Conquest. The book is not very long but it is written in an entertaining prose that fluidly transitions between concepts. The arguments are solid and detailed making it almost too easy to follow. Restall’s research seemingly taunts historic perspective and makes you question how you could have ever believed the contrary. His clear…

    _Myths of the Spanish Conquest_ is broken into seven chapters, each dedicated to a different myth or mis-conception regarding the Spanish conquest. In debunking these myths, Matthew Restall works with three themes regarding the conquest. First, that the European discovery of the Americas was one of the greatest events in human history. Second, that the conquest was the achievement of "a few great men," which he subsequently describes as "a handful of adventurers." These two themes lead to a third theme, or question. "If history's greatest event - the European discovery and conquest of the Americas - was achieved by a mere "handful of adventurers," how did they do it?"…

    Pablos compares the Spanish and Indigenous society and proposes the question: “which tradition was more patriarchal? In other words: did women win or lose power and authority with the Spanish conquest?” (1) La Malinche, for instance, was an important symbol in the Spanish conquest of Mexico. She was Hernán Cortés’ interpreter and mistress and her role became a controversial one. To many, she was a traitor, and to others a distinguished woman. Pablos states “Marina has been institutionalized as the symbol of mestizaje [meaning, the mixing of Spanish and Native Mexican blood]…” Her reputation changed as people were incomprehensive of her actual role in society. Like all other women, she was an object in the Spanish conquest and a subordinate woman. La malinche was offered as a gift from her father to Hernán Cortés, was baptized Christian, and she served Cortés until she disposed of her and married her to one of his soldiers ignoring the fact that they had a son together. All because it was acceptable in their “society of Mesoamerican traders” not because she accepted.…
