Course Overview

Power. Gold. Betrayal. Hernán Cortés stopped at nothing to conquer the mighty Aztec Empire, even defying his own king. We’ll trace Cortés’s dramatic rise, uncover how he toppled a 300-year-old civilization in just two years, and examine the weapons, alliances, and deceptions that made it possible. Discover the real story behind one of the most ruthless power grabs of all time. A documentary will be shown that traces the history of Hernán Cortés and his conquest of Mexico.  We also discuss the impact of this event on Spanish Colonial history.
