Hernando Cortes conquered the aztecs for Spain
Name The Spanish Conquistador who conquered Mexico?
Hernan Cortes (Hernán Cortés de Monroy y Pizarro Altamirano, previously known as Hernando Cortez) lived from 1485 to 1547.In 1519, he disobeyed the Spanish governor of Cuba and traveled to Mexico. He captured the Aztec capital, but had to flee in 1520 after the death of Moctezuma. With reinforcements and the aid of rebel tribes, he finally established the Spanish colonial claim in 1521.
What was Hernando Cortes cause of death?
hernan Cortes died from natural causes or an illness.
Who killed Hernan Cortes?
Hernan Cortes died in Seville (or Sevilla) Spain in 1547. If I remember correctly, he died in a monastery there, the same one from which Christopher Columbus sailed. Presumably he died of natural causes or illness. I have not read anything about his death that would indicate his being killed or murdered, Further research on his life and death can be found in a book entitled CONQUEST, which I believe is written by Hugh Thomas (not sure of the last name).
Is there a statue of hernan Cortes in Mexico?
To the Mexican people, Don Hernan Cortes was, and still is, considered as a bad role model, especially to the vast amount of indigenous people still living in the city of Mexico. The Spanish on the contrary, think of him as supposely as a religious man who was a creative thinker and a great discoverer or conquistador. Suppposely the finding of the Americas was the second biggest thing that ever happened in history, the first being the birth of Jesus. In Spain, you can find a good amount of statues and memorials dedicated to him as well as in Peru, for some reason... But in Mexico, the only statues that you would find would be the tatloani or emperors of the Mexica (Not Aztecs, the name was simply derived from Aztlan and was commonly used by the Spaniards. They were either called the Tenochca or Mexica, where Mexico gets it's name.) But that's, in my opinion, a possible factor of why there are not any statues of Cortes, even though he was buried in Mexico D.F. after his death.
