During 1519, The Spainsh conquistadors were led by Hernán Cortés. When they came across new land, Mexico, they foudn that a civilization of gold existed. This civilization of gold was run by the indegenous people, The Aztecs. After being flowered with gold upon their arrrival, the conquitsadors were planning their way of conquering the Aztecs. There are two sources that help show both view points, they are "Hernán Cortés Conquers Mexico" and "Aztec Chroniclers Describe Spanish Conquest." These opinions have few similiarites, but many differences. The conquistadors found their conquer nessacary because the Aztec were inhumane and uncivilized. The conquistadors stated that the Aztecs would drink the blood of the heart of a person that was alive, when they cut it out, which shows how inhumane that they were. It describes the people as uncivilized because of their lack of weaponary, their clothing, and their people in general. The events that took place were different as well because Cortés describes his encounter nice and pleasant, and he was giving back respect by showering gifts on the Aztec leader, by giving him pearl necklaces and his crystals. Cortés's letter to the King of Spain was filled with confidence that the conquistadors were the best of the two because of how civilized they were and how they "needed" to help the Aztecs because they were so uncivilizated and inhumane. This letter tries to convince that the conquistadors were not the violent ones in the conquer, but the Aztecs were. The Aztecs viewed the conquer very differently. They believed that were the kind ones,while the conquistadors were the violent ones. The Aztecs were attacked during a festival by the conquistadors, even though the conquistadors were the Aztec people's guests. The conquistadors wanted to kill and remove the celebrants from existants. They say that the conquistadors were inhuman becuase they cut off the drummer's arms and head that just rolled across the floor. The Aztecs were doing all they could to make the arrival of the conquistadors pleasant and welcoming. The Aztecs stated numerous times that they were the inncocent ones, while the conquistadors were the ones to blame for the inhumane actions. These two sources have two things that are similar. They both can not be completely true, which is the first similar thing. Secondly, they both make the author's civilization or group the innocent ones, while the other group or civilization is inhumane nad uncivilized. Both sources wanted to blame the other group for the violence and the blood that was shed. Both sources are not completely true because they favor themselves and want to protect their own societies and civilizations, and not say the truth and ruin their society or civilization. In Conclusion, both source do not tell the complete truth about what really happened, and they blame the blood that was shed on the other society or civilization. The Aztec source is different from the Cortés source because the Aztecs make themselves the innocent ones and the conquistadors to be inhumane, uncivilized, adn violent. The Cortés source states the exact opposite. Even though these source ahve differnt views, they have similar stories.
