Conquistadors
For God, Glory and Gold, was their rallying cry, but the conquest of much of the New World by Spanish conquistadors, driven by a mentality reminiscent of the medieval crusaders, was surely one of history's turning points, but even in the 16th century, questions were asked about the morality of their exploits.

What was Hernan Cortes' Worldview?
Cortez was a conquistador, that is to say, a conqueror. This should give you a complete summary of his mind, but let's delve a little deeper.
Spain, Cortez's home, was in Europe, and Europe was the world center of cultural superiority. Everybody believed that Europe was better then everyone else, and the Spaniards carried this with them when they invaded the Americas. Cortez was no exception, he believed that it was his devine right to bring his religion to the "heathen barbarians". He was most likely a patriot, his recordings always speak of Spanish gain first, and then his own.
So, in summary, Cortez thought his culture was better then the Aztecs, his country needed the gold that the Aztecs had, and that his religion needed to be spread.

Why were the conquistadors able to conquer the Aztec and Inca empires so rapidly?
While the Spanish did have better weapons and horses, there were two other main things that allowed them to conquer the central American and south American civilizations.
For the Aztecs, one major thing that permitted them to be conquered was that they believed that Hernando Cortes was one of their gods returning to them, and so they did not challenge him until it was too late.
For all of the civilizations, the main thing that destroyed them was European diseases. The Central and South American civilizations had never been introduced to the diseases that were common in Europe and therefore, had no antibodies or cures for them. Millions of the Native people were killed of because of these diseases and it gave the Spanish a very large advantage.

Who is the most violent people?
This is me, person who posted the question. I want to stop, but I don't know how. I used to be the victim and now I am the "perp". When I was a victim, the therapist told my spouse I was codependent and it was hard as I had driven him to hurt me. He stopped after much effort and major relocations. Now I hurt him and hurt myself in the process, I feel awful that I became all the things I hated and dispised. I carry bruises from my own actions, I hurt people I love, I want to stop but I don't know how. It's from unrealistic expectations and inability to stop disturbing and obsessive thoughts about historical things that have no impact now. sigh.
