Compare And Contrast The Spanish And Aztecs
The Aztec and the Spanish were both very powerful civilizations during the late 1400’s and early 1500’s. The defeat of the Aztecs One of the main reasons why the Spanish defeated the powerful Aztec empire is due to their weapons. Although these two groups were very different, they share some similarities with their weapons. The Spanish wouldn't have been as successful if it weren't for their guns, armour, and leadership.

The Spanish had many advantages over the Aztec, one being guns. Unlike the Aztecs the Spanish had long guns called muskets. Muskets were very successful in defeating the aztecs, they could be shot from far away. The closest weapon the Aztecs had to the spanish muskets was the atlatl , the atlatl required more physical strength

    The author argues that the Spanish were completely at fault for the total destruction of the Aztec Empire. In Broken spears, the author explains how many factors other than Spanish power contributed to the downfall of the Aztecs. Not only did the Spanish have many advantages over the Aztecs, but also they also exploited them and took advantage of the cultural difference. The main key aspects to the Spanish victory, is that the Spanish were viewed as gods at first because of their appearance, the Aztecs welcomed the Spanish with gifts and festivities, which showed the Spanish had total control of people. The Aztecs also held a ritual ceremony for the arrival of the "god" that included a human sacrifice, which was seen by the Spanish as a disgusting act, this trigged Spanish hatred for the Aztecs. When the Spanish saw the resources that the Aztecs had, they quickly started taking advantage of the Aztecs weaknesses. The Spanish had more power; they were better equipped than the Aztecs and more advanced. The Aztecs' leader Montecuhzoma was a weak leader, he was more of a coward, more concerned with his well being and safety than the safety of his people and kingdom so he quickly surrendered under pressure. The Spanish used surrounding enemy tribes to take over the Aztec lands, then began to massacre men, women and children. When the Aztec became angry and started to fight back, they were quickly wrecked by the diseases the Spanish brought with them such as small pox and measles. The Spanish were immune to these diseases because they were well known in Europe and they had been exposed to them for years, but the Aztecs weren't so entire villages were wiped out in just few weeks which cleared the way for the Spanish to entirely conquer and destroy the Aztec empire.…

    Even though the Aztecs were cunning, swift, and agile, the Spanish had the advantage to the skill and armour. If compared, the Conquistador's weapons would have been more useful and powerful to use. Not only because of the fact that the Spanish weapons were more light and could be dealt with one hand, but also that some of them could be effective from far away. In addition, the Aztecs, fighting on foot, could not compete with the Spanish, who were riding horses. As the Aztecs, had never seen horses in their lives, misunderstandings could arise from their power, speed, and size, as well as being kicked if gotten too close to the rear. Another reason why Cortes is responsible for the fall of the Aztec Empire, was disease. The Aztecs had never encountered a disease, vulnerable to their bodies for a long period of time. Smallpox, brought by the Spanish, had a lasting outcome for many years. Finding no cure, being too sick to gulp the nourishments to their bodies, and being too weak and frail to help their fellows, it was no surprise that many Aztecs had died. It can be told by an Aztec survivor and witness, in Contact and Change Pg 227, “The sick were so utterly helpless that they could only lie on their beds like corpses, unable to move their limbs or even their heads. They could not lie face down or roll from one side to the other. If they did move their bodies they screamed in pain. A great many died from this plague, and many others died of hunger. They could not get up to search for food, and everyone else was too sick to care for them, so they starved to death in their…

    During Cortes’s exploration, he dealt with many hardships because of the difficult terrain and Indian people he had encountered along the way. The encounters between Cortes and the Indians were also significant because he needed to encounter these people in order to be able to conquer Tenochtitlan. The Indian people that Cortes encountered gave him the exact power he needed against the Aztec empire. Furthermore, the exchange of disease, ideals, and plant and wildlife also had a very significant impact on history and the conquer of the Aztecs. The exchange of smallpox between the Spaniards and Aztecs is another factor that led to Cortes’s success. In addition, the exchange of ideals, plants, and wildlife led to a lot of what is present in today’s Mexico. Most of what Mexico is known for can be traced back to the Spaniards who conquered Mexico in 1519 . The exploration, encounter, and exchange that occurred during the conquering of the Aztecs by Hernan Cortes significantly impacted history, and led to many of the things seen in present day…

    The religion and culture of the Aztecs played a role in the way the way they thought and fought. They worshiped the war-god Huitzilopochtli. He was identified with the sun and was called "the Giver of life" and "the Preserver of Life" (xxxix). The religion carried some ridiculous rituals such as human sacrifice along with using magicians and wizards to cast spells. In war conditions, human sacrifice played a big role because the Aztecs would not fight to kill, but fight to capture. The reasoning was so that they could sacrifice the people to their god Huitzilopochtli. Because of this thinking, I feel the Aztecs never made technological advancements to bigger and better weapons which would…

    In Mexico and Peru, the Iberian advantage was less about God and more about superior military technology. The indigenous peoples had not been exposed to the caliber of weapons the Iberians brought with them when they came to Latin America. As a result the Indigenous people’s weapons were antiquated and were offered no aid in fighting off the resistance. The indigenous people fought “with slings, spears, two-handed swords edged with obsidian, and bows and arrows”. (Burkholder and Johnson 54) The Iberians were mounted. They were equipped with “mobility, the firepower of artillery, steel swords and armor”. (Burkholder and Johnson…
