Hernan Cortes expanded territory for Spain, but he is a mass murderer at the same time.
On 1519, he went to Mexico where he conquered and destroyed the Aztecs by 1521.
Hernan Cortes' troops have advantages: They had cannons, guns, and swords. They had horses. And they spreaded diseases which are deadly to Aztecs.
He set out from Cuba to Mexico. In order to let his people follow him to Mexico, he burned his own people's ships so that they only had to choose to follow him.
Today, we also watched a video about Hernan Cortes. Teaching in terms of videos is hard for international students, because the speaker usually talks very fast. But it will be all good if Mr. Schick can go over the main points talked in the video after we watch a video.
