the Aztecs
The Spanish colonization of the western hemisphere was driven by the desire for wealth, power, and spreading Catholicism. Spanish conquerors imposed their language and religion on the indigenous populations through force, conversion efforts, and the establishment of missions and churches. This led to the widespread adoption of Spanish language and Catholicism in the region.
Spanish first emerged as a distinct language around the 9th century AD, evolving from Vulgar Latin spoken by the Roman conquerors in the Iberian Peninsula. This process continued through the medieval period, solidifying Spanish as the language of the region.
French explorers focused on establishing trade partnerships with Native Americans and setting up trading posts, while Spanish explorers were more interested in conquering lands, establishing colonies, and extracting resources. The French tended to have more cooperative relationships with the Native Americans, employing a more peaceful approach compared to the more aggressive tactics of the Spanish.
The Aztecs were a Mesoamerican civilization with advanced agricultural practices and a polytheistic religion, while the Spanish were European explorers and conquerors who brought new technologies and diseases to the Americas. The Spanish ultimately conquered the Aztec Empire in the early 16th century through a combination of military force, alliances with rival groups, and superior weaponry.
The next conquerors of Britain after the Celts were the Romans, who invaded in 43 AD under Emperor Claudius. The Romans established control over most of Britain, which they called Britannia, and incorporated it into their empire for several centuries.
No. That happened with the Inca Empire (it was in the middle of a civil war).
