Conquistadors

Pizarro founded the inca city of tumbez

The conquistadors were extremely active during the Age of Exploration which started in the 15th century and continued through the 17th century. :)

Reasons for Aztec and incan conquer:

1. The tribes were quite primitive and so was their war material!

2. The spanish brought diseases that the incans and Aztecs had never heard of!

3. The Aztecs and incans believed that their gods would protect them, The spanish smashed the gods!

They usually were explorers and looked for riches. Whenever they found a discovery they either kept it for themself or gave it to the country they orginated from.

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.

he was bor in Mexico

On his expedition north of Mexico in 1540-1542, Coronado had as many as 335 Spanish soldiers and 1300 natives, as well as some monks and a few slaves. Along the way, he took on guides from various tribes, none of which located any treasures for him.

Cortes was helped by a native woman who translated for him, I need the name :P

The Spanish wanted to convert the heathen Americans to the one true faith, Christianity. In order to convert these people, priests would be necessary.

DeSoto had told the local Natives that he was a god in order to make them wary and respectful, and keep the expedition safe. When he died of fever, his men at first buried him in the ground and various writings say the Natives noticed the disturbed soil - and presumably DeSoto's absence. Fearing the Natives would dig him up and see that the "god" was just, in fact, a mortal, his men dug him up and deposited his weighted corpse in the waters, telling the Natives afterward that DeSoto had returned to the Sun.

From Wikipedia:

De Soto died in 1542 on the banks of the Mississippi River at present-day Lake Village, Arkansas. Lake Village is named for its location on Lake Chicot, an oxbow lake formed from the Mississippi River. According to legend, the remains of DeSoto are buried in Lake Chicot (the lake is approximately 3/4 mile wide and 22 miles long. See... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Chicot )
