What befell Aztec and Inca Empires

Eleven years had passed since Columbus's death. Where Mexico's capital today is Mexico City, there was a large saltwater lake called Texcoco. The lake was home to the huge city of Tinosht Talan, the capital of the 200,000-square-kilometer Aztec Empire. The city was connected to the outside world by long bridges or causeways. The capital of this empire with a population of six million was its own example in wealth and splendor. There were sixty thousand houses in the city. These were high-rise buildings and spacious temples. These temples were also used for human sacrifice. However, women and children were not sacrificed. The city had floating gardens on artificial islands that looked like they were floating on water. We can call them floating gardens. The city was supplied with water through a stone path. The city's markets were always full of thousands of people. Gold flowed into lakes and rivers here, which were filtered out and used for melting. These people, who have lived here for centuries, were many fighters, but they were killed because of some of their principles and some of their superstitions.

What were their principles and superstitions?

Where did the civilization of another great civilization in America disappear?

That's all we're showing you

There were some rules for the residents of this rich city.

One of them was that he was strongly opposed to betraying his enemy in war.

They considered it cowardly to attack without declaring war.

This principle proved to be disastrous for them at that time

When a Spanish astrologer ran to his empire with only six hundred people. Fifteen hundred and four, a Spanish citizen, Hernan Cortez, arrived in the West Indies island of Hispanola in search of easy money. He did not have much success here, but later when he arrived in Cuba, his lottery came out. On the island of Cuba, Spanish Governor Diego ordered the Courts to form a force to go to Mexico and establish a Spanish colony there, which was obviously to be subordinate to the same governor. On the same order, on February 18, 1919, the Courts departed from Cuba on eleven ships with six hundred and eight soldiers and sailors. The ships soon sailed from the Mexican coastal region of Tabasco to the present-day coastal city of Veracruz. The city was part of the Aztec Empire. The landing of a small army of 600 men was not considered a threat by the Aztecs. Because he himself was an empire of six million people of 6 million people and considered himself very powerful. Similarly, Quartz did not consider the power of the Aztecs to be too great at the expense of his firearms, but the real loss to the Aztecs was not from the firearms but from their superstitions.

A legend has been known in Aztecs for three hundred years

That one of their gods who has passed away will one day return. So when Hernan Cortes landed on the shores of Veracruz and brought with him horses tied with chains. Horses have never been seen before by the people of this region. That is why the Aztecs thought that their god was back.

So instead of fighting the Spanish invaders, the locals started providing them with food and essential geographical information. From these people the Courts became well acquainted with the strengths and weaknesses of the Aztec Empire. So he started planning to attack the Aztec capital. But he knew that despite having firearms, controlling such a large empire was not just a matter of six hundred people. So he started looking for people from the locals who could be his allies and they found him. Most of them were people from the Telexcalan region who were fierce enemies of the Aztec Empire. Now the enemy of the enemy is the friend, so the Courts joined hands with these people and even set up their new military base in their area.

But the problem was that he was still in his sixties because of his superstition that the people who came were really Spanish invaders or one of their gods was waiting for the people of this empire. He did not come to court openly, but tried to reconcile first. He sent a lot of gold and silver to the courts and requested that the Spanish invaders who had come be the invaders and leave the area. He also sent Cortez a six-and-a-half-foot-wide frame of the sun made of gold, with a separate silver frame that symbolized the moon. With these gifts, Courts, a friend of Aztecs, became greedy and inflamed. He sent his helmet to the messengers at the hands of the messengers and told them to give him some more gold in it because his people have a disease of our people which can only be removed from gold. Montezuma responded by kicking Hatem Tai's grave, filling the helmet with gold particles. When Helmut reached the courts full of gold, he was convinced that the Aztecs had infinite gold and much gold.

So he cleverly sent a message to Montezuma that he did not want a war

Just wants to visit their capital once and see inside. The Aztec king granted the visit. On November 15, 1919, Kortz entered the city with six hundred of his comrades and a thousand Telexcalan fighters.

Montezuma himself went out of the city to greet him and lodged him in his palace. But Cortez responded to the hospitality by taking Montezuma hostage in his palace. They did not allow friends like Spaniard Gunmen to walk around the king inside the palace. Apparently the king was free and the host

But in fact he had become a prisoner of the courts. The Spanish prisoners forced the king to order gold and other things from outside and go inside the palace and pile up in different rooms. Even one wall of the palace was broken and a lot of gold, many precious statues and other belongings behind it were looted.

If the Courts had had more time, they would have quietly made their way to the Aztecs. But all of a sudden, he got into trouble, and his whole game was cut short. My Curious Fellows, in fact, the courts were sent here by the Governor of Cuba as his representative. But instead of acknowledging the governor's right to establish a colony in Veracruz, Courts announced that he had become governor himself. That's why the Cuban governor sent a new army to Mexico to capture him. When Cortes learned of the army's arrival, he left his eighty-eight comrades in the palace to guard the king and set out to meet the rest. When he reached the shore, he not only defeated the new army sent by the governor, but also captured most of the soldiers in that army. Then he bought the loyalty of these captured soldiers by giving them gold. He now had a small, well-formed force of 1,400 men, with his comrades and his pre-existing soldiers. He was happy with his success

But when he returned to Tinosht Talan, he was surprised to see that the tide had turned. Kurtz's comrades were under siege by the Aztecs, and the siege lasted for several days. What happened was that in the absence of the courts, its soldiers started rioting during a local religious celebration. In which thousands of Aztecs were cut like carrots and radishes. After the massacre, the Spanish invaders hid in the palace. But this massacre dispelled this illusion of Aztecs

That these people might be a god, etc., or something like that. So now angry citizens and Aztec soldiers laid siege to the palace. They wanted to kill him. During the siege, Courts somehow managed to enter the palace with his force and reach out to his comrades. He made the hostage king stand on the roof of the palace and ordered him to tell his people to retreat and not to attack.

But the Aztecs did not listen to their king. Instead, they attacked the palace despite being on the king's roof. Montezuma II, who was standing on the roof, was also killed in the fight. Maybe at the hands of his own people or at the hands of the Spanish invaders, but he died. After the king's death, Cortez and his companions decided to flee the city. Because now they could not stop tens of millions of people from entering the palace for long. The deity of the people was gone and the king's shield was finally gone. On the night of June 30 and July 1, 1520, Courts and his companions picked up as much gold as they could and began to flee. In fact, they knew that the Aztecs did not like to fight at night, so they did not take special care of the palace at night. That is why the Spaniards chose night time to flee. So when the Spaniards fled to the western bridge out of the city, an Aztec woman saw them and shouted. As soon as they saw it, thousands of Aztec soldiers started rushing towards them. Aztec soldiers rained arrows and spears on the bridge. Dozens of Spanish soldiers fell into the lake with sacks laden with gold and drowned under the weight of the sacks. This night is called Notch Trustee in Spanish, which means Night of Sorrows. About four hundred to six hundred Spaniards were killed in this battle. The Spanish allied tribe also suffered heavy casualties. But the Aztecs who won this battle could not turn their victory into a complete victory

Why?

My Curios Fellows Aztecs broke the back of the Spanish forces in the Knight of Soros, but their leader, Hernan Courts, escaped unharmed. Not only that, but he also defeated his pursuing Aztecs in a battle. Arriving at Telexkalan, he resumed fighting with the help of his local allies. This time he specially built boats and new cannons to attack the Aztecs. Ni was engaged in war preparations for fifteen hundred and twenty-one years, but in the meanwhile, with the Aztecs, the smallpox epidemic spread there. In fact, it was the Spanish invaders who brought the germs of the disease. The people of the New World were now immune to these germs because the disease had never spread to the New World, so they had a natural ability to fight the disease. It didn't happen. Hundreds of poor Aztecs could not cope with the germ, and in just two months a large part of the city's population died from the disease. The people of the city were now battling the effects of the disease when, in May 1521, the Courts raided the city again. His troops attacked the city from both land and water. The first boats were larger than the smaller Aztec boats that were launched, and they were armed with firearms and armed soldiers. So this naval army soon crushed the resistance of the Aztecs in the lake. The artillery of the Courts then began to bombard the city with heavy fortified walls. The result was that the Spanish artillery turned many buildings into rubble. Then Spanish soldiers on foot and on horseback and their allies began marching towards the city. The Aztecs tried to stop them from entering the city, but their spears and sticks in front of the assailants' guns proved futile. As soon as they saw it, the Spanish soldiers entered the city and started blowing up anyone who came in front of them with cannons and guns.

But in the meantime, the Aztecs bravely began defending every street and house in their city. And one street and one house had become a battlefield Courts next year

Spanish forces had to fight hard to capture every building. But people suffering from hunger and disease could not continue the war for a long time and soon they were defeated and then the Spanish started massacring civilians.

What happened to Aztec and Inca Empires 

 Twelve thousand people were killed in one area of ​​the city, including civilians who were not involved in the war. In another area, 40,000 people were killed in a single day by the Spanish invaders. Was also cut. Fifty thousand thirsty people lost their lives by drinking the brackish water of Lake Texcoco. Survivors in the city were also selectively killed by the Spanish invaders. Everywhere you looked in the city, there were corpses scattered, there was a special army or there were Christian pastors carrying high crosses. Who were urging the dying to convert to Christianity while the same pastor and the same attackers were putting the Aztec religious leaders in front of the living dogs and burning their books. Because they thought it was all wrong, the last king of the Aztecs, Kohati Mook, who ruled after the death of Montezuma, was also arrested. Under the feet of this last Aztec king, the Spaniards burned him, forcing him to reveal the rest of the city where the wealth might be hidden. But the king did not open his mouth until he died and was hanged. Thus the friendly Aztec Empire ended forever and the Spanish flag began to fly over Mexico. But even after the conquests of Mexico and the Aztec Empire, there was one last wall, the last obstacle in the way of Spain, called the Empire. But the destruction of this empire was even easier than the Aztecs. The Aztec Empire ended in 1521. Ten years later, Spanish forces stormed his empire. Now their empire was much bigger than Aztecs.

With a population of over 12 million, the empire stretched from Ecuador to Chile. Its capital was Czechoslovakia. But when the Spanish forces arrived here, the king of the empire, Etahvalpa, was staying in the Peruvian town of Caja Marca with his 80,000 warriors due to another war. The commander of the Spanish force was Francisco Pizarro and he had only one hundred and eighty-eight soldiers or comrades.

This force was much smaller than the army of Hernan Kurtz who conquered the Aztec Empire. But Sir Francisco Pizarro was far ahead of the courts in cunning and deceit. He knew he could not compete with their army. So he sent a message to the king that he wanted to invite him. Like the Aztecs, Etahwalpa did not understand the cunning of the Spaniards. He trusted Pizarro with 5,000 unarmed people to attend his party and thus fell into their trap. Pizarro hid his soldiers around the place where the king was to enter Pizarro's camp. As the king's ride approached, Pizarro sent a priest, Vincent, to the king. Weinstein asked the king to become a Christian and obey King Charles V of Spain. Etahwalpa vehemently refused. Upon the king's refusal, the priest sent a message to Pizarro that they were not ready to accept Christianity and obey Charles V, so Pizarro ordered the massacre. His men opened fire on unarmed NATO Americans, and some cavalry fell on them with swords. Five thousand unarmed people were brutally killed by a few people within an hour. The king's palanquin was overturned and he was captured alive. Then Pizarro forced the king to demand so much gold from his empire in exchange for his release that an entire room was filled with gold. But even after receiving the ransom gold, they did not spare the king.

Then Pizarro forced the king to demand so much gold from his empire in exchange for his release that an entire room was filled with gold. But even after receiving the ransom gold, they did not spare the king

Instead, he laid down a new condition that if Etahwalpa converted to Christianity, he would be pardoned by the Emperor of Spain. Etahwalpa also converted to Christianity to save his life, but he was not forgiven and died. There are historical paintings that show that Etahwalpa was strangled to death. After the king's death, the fate of his empire was the same as that of the Aztecs. The area soon came under Spanish control. In the United States, it was the two empires, the Incas and the Aztecs, who had some ability to counter the European invaders. But after their demise, there was no longer a single empire, a city, or an empire stopping the Europeans throughout the United States. Over the next few decades, a large part of the United States, from Mexico down to Argentina, was occupied by Spain. Portugal had also set foot in Brazil by then. Then, in sixteen hundred and six, it happened in the Sixteenth Hundred Six

That three British ships were heading to North America in a convoy. These ships were going to lay the foundation of a country in the United States in this new world that was to become the world's only superpower in the next few centuries. Construction of the United States of America was about to begin
