Fransisco Vaquez de Coronado went to New Spain which was in Mexico with Antonio de Mendoza. Antonio was the Spanish viceroy in 1535 and he earned early distinction in pacifying Indians. In 1538 he was made the governor of Nueva Galicia. In 1539 Fray Marcos de Niza was sent north by Mendoza to explore.

The Aztec-Spanish War was more than a war leading to the demise of the Aztec empire; rather it was one of the most remarkable and significant wars of European history, beginning the colonization of Mesoamerica. The Spaniards who came to the New World were known as conquistadors, Spanish for “conquerors”. Hernando Cortez, one of the most ambitious Spanish conquistadors, left Cuba in 1519 with 500 men, 11 ships, horses, and countless other provisions. The exploratory mission, supported by the governor of Cuba: Diego de Velásquez, soon turned into one of conquest. Driven by the pursuit of gold, glory and god, Cortez was determined to use any means necessary in his desire to conquer one of ancient history’s most prominent civilizations: The Aztecs.

The year Columbus set out to sail was the historical beginning of a bad ending. This ending should be acknowledged by all as the choices and decisions of the Spanish King and Queen Ferdinand and Isabella. Without the royal’s greediness, there would have been a different ending to this story that wouldn’t have resulted in the complete obliteration of foreign human beings--genocide.

Alonso was a very ambitious man, multiple times, he tried to sneak away so he could get the market for himself, but he was very unsuccessful. In Hispaniola, which is modern day Haiti and Dominican Republic, Cortes went to meet the house of Governor which whom he knew from Spain, but his secretary told him that he was gone but that Cortes would be able to get a land grant. Cortes was upset and he said, “ But I came to get gold, not to till the soil, like a peasant.”

The only goal I had was to escape to freedom and help my family get to freedom, well what was left of them anyways. The only family I had left were my mother and my younger sister. My father had been sold at the last auction and my two older brothers were of the very first to be sold, they were young and strong so our owner got a good amount of money for them, it was a good deal for him. They were able to help around in the farmers which made them a very profitable sale.
