IN 1519, HERNÁN CORTÉS ORDERED HIS SHIPS TO BE BURNED UPON ARRIVING IN MEXICO. THIS ACT ELIMINATED ANY CHANCE OF RETREAT FOR HIS MEN, FORCING THEM TO FULLY COMMIT TO CONQUERING THE AZTEC EMPIRE.

Hernán Cortés was so based, and he helped the indigenous people to recover their liberty from the Aztecs
The image forgets to include the Spanish Inquisition (among others) who did extremely horrific things as well. It is a disingenuous interpretation.
yeah, the aztecs had a prophecy that the gods would return
but it was just the spanish, who were still pretty brown, but a lot less brown than the aztecs
so they were convinced it was the gods, and these gods had boomsticks just like the stories of the previous gods who shot lightning
noncombatants mostly survived, it was only the aztec government soldiers who got slaughtered by Cortez and his army, and the officials and king
life has been better since then but not as good as it could have been... the vicious violence of the mexican gangsters (and the government) are relics of this same mindset and probably cult of power (which is now spanning the globe)

According to the legend, when Tariq ibn Ziyad and his forces arrived on the southern coast of Spain, they were greatly outnumbered, and some of his troops were hesitant about facing such overwhelming odds. In order to motivate his troops and eliminate any thoughts of retreat, Tariq ordered his ships to be set on fire.

SOME HISTORIANS SAY HE SCUTTLED THE SHIPS
BUT BURNING SOUNDS COOLER
WHAT A KILLER
They did quite a bit of raping as well. No escape.
Ain’t history fun. 🤩
some of you really should have been reading BEYOND the years of your being propagandized LMAO...
"This is the full, incredible-but-true story of how a few hundred Europeans overturned history. Important revelations in this book include:
– That smallpox was brought to the Americas not by Europeans, but a Negro in Spanish service; and– That despite propaganda about “guns and steel,” the Spaniards would not have succeeded in overthrowing the Aztec Empire had the surrounding Indian tribes, long victims of their cruel neighbors, not provided hundreds of thousands of warriors in the final sacking of Tenochtitlan.This is one of the most astonishing stories ever told from the era of European expansion into the New World."

He burned the boats and decided to conquer the Aztecs against orders after witnessing their ritual child sacrifice. The popular history regarding Cortes and the Spanish is largely a result of hyperbolic propaganda during the time period against Catholic interest by protestant interests, mainly Elizabethan England. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/07/05/535613480/aztec-tower-of-skulls-reveals-women-children-were-sacrificed
I just watched Apocalypso, crazy movie.
I first heard of this from Robert Greene's book. incredible
and it only took 2% of the continental United States to win the American Revolutionary War against the most powerful empire on the planet.
The entire force that created the USA, could have fitted in a football stadium.
