Francisco Vasquez de Coronado – left in search of gold – Seven Cities of Cibola

When Vargas died in 1705 after repossessing the governorship in 1703, he was succeeded by Governor Francisco Cuervo y Valdes. Governor Cuervo y Valdes campaigned for a more militant approach against the indigenous tribes, predominantly the Navajos, whose troublesome acts were thought to be influencing the Pueblos to resist the Spanish’s reoccupation. Cuervo in June 1705 launched successive offensive attacks against the Gila Apaches, coming back to the Navajos, who were stealing cattle from settlers and missionaries. Cuervo stated that the Navajos were troublesome because of the “continuous wars that they have carried on from the conquest of this kingdom [1598] until the general uprising of the year 1680 and which they have continued from

The capital of the Aztec empire, Tenochtitlan, and what is known today as Mexico City was conquered in 1521 by the Spanish explorer named Hernando Cortez. Cortez was born Medellin, Spain in 1485. He was the only son of a noble family and his father was a captain in the Spanish army. He was fascinated with Christopher Columbus’ journeys in the new world. This was a far cry from his parents wish for him to be lawyer. Before reaching the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, Cortes along with Diego Velazquez, were powerful figures in the island of Cuba. Their partnership soon ended when Cortes went against Velasquez’s wishes to marry his sister and sailed to the mainland of Mexico against his orders. On 1519 Cortez reached the harbor of central Veracruz (“True Cross”). He arrived with 11 ships, 15 horses and a fleet of 500 men in search for gold. Cortes soon learned that the land was ruled by the great Aztec lord in the city of Tenochtitlán: King Monezuma II.

Hernando Cortés was a lawyer and had family connections, he used those tools to become the colony notary. When Hernando was going to start the travel he first sailed to Hispaniola to find merchant ships for his conquest and then started to travel to the mainland. Hernando Cortés and his army of 508 men arrived at the Aztec empire that was in deep crisis, and he made a note of how weak the empire was and took advantage of that. Hernando and his army fought the natives in what was the largest city in the world; Tenochtitlán. They had began to perform human sacrifice and militarization to keep control of the

In fifteen thousand four he went to the new world to look for fortune. It took three months to get to Tenochtitlán which is the Aztec capital because of rough terrain. He conquered Montezuma and the Aztec empire. In fifteen eighteen he was put in command by Veláquez of an expedition to secure inside of Mexico. He ignored these orders. He stopped in Cuba to get more soldiers and more horses. He arrived in Mexico in February of fifteen nineteen. He tricked the Aztecs into giving him a lot of gold when he first arrived in Mexico. The Talascan Indians attacked him and his crew when he first arrived in Mexico. Two of his men died and eight hundred Indians died. He became allies with a lot of the natives, but with others he used deadly force. In March of fifteen nineteen he finally claimed land for the Spanish crown. He won a battle against the natives in Tabasco. He received twenty women and converted them all to Christianity. Cortés took Montezuma hostage and his soldiers looted the city. Cortés was defeated by the Aztecs but came back and defeated them in fifteen twenty one. After this he continued to fight for opportunities to gain land and wealth. He discovered the peninsula of California in fifteen thirty six. He was offered a drink called Xocolatl and he used these beans as money and for making a drink. He brought the drink back to Spain but it was not popular because it was strong and bitter. When sugar, cinnamon and other spices started getting added the drink became popular. Only the rich could afford it because the taxes on it were high. Cortés started plantations in Mexico, Haiti Trinidad, Java and other places in the Caribbean. The Spanish ruled the cocoa industry for many years. Since they gained so much money off of this drink, they kept details of how they made it secret. The work was done by monks and their secret was guarded until fifteen eighty when a chocolate production plant was made in

Cortés, then one of Velazquez's favourites, was named as the commander, a choice which created no little envy. Cortés entered into the enterprise with zeal and energy, sacrificing with too much ostentation a considerable part of his fortune to equip the expedition. Eleven vessels were brought together, manned with well-armed men, and horses and artillery were embarked. At the last moment Velazquez, whose suspicions were aroused by the action of Cortés, instigated by his surroundings, attempted to prevent the departure. It was too late; Cortés, after the example set by Quintero, slipped away from the Cuban coast and thus began the conquest of Mexico. His life from the time he sailed on his momentous undertaking in 1519 is so intimately linked with the history of Mexico, that the reader may be referred for additional details to the articles MEXICO, AZTECS, and PEDRO DE ALVARADO.

During a time when there were many expeditions to the new world, Hernan Cortez was a man who set out to expand Spain’s grasp on newly discovered land. The Governor had scheduled for Cortez to explore the newly discovered Mexico area in a small expedition. It was ultimately canceled, but Cortez still set out on February 18th, 1519 with Spanish men to the new land.

In 1519, Spain sent Hernan Cortes and his soldiers in search of gold, god and glory to find a New Spain. They found Meso America and conquered the Aztecs.

On October 24, 1981, Rafael Leónidas Trujillo was born in the city of San Cristobal, Dominican Republic and was the third child of eleven. At the age of sixteen, he got a job as a telegraph operator and stayed with that job for about three years until he diverted to a life of crime by stealing and creating a gang called “ The 42.” (Wikipedia) Later in his life, Trujillo enrolled in the Dominican Army in 1918 and was trained by the U.S Marines during their occupation in 1916-1924 because of threats of “defaulting on foreign debts”.(Wikipedia) He quickly began to gain power as he moved up the ranks. According to Britannica, it states “He rose from lieutenant to commanding colonel of the national police between 1919 and 1925, becoming a general in 1927.”

Hernan Cortés was born at Medellin in Spain in the year 1485 and eventually became one of the great Governors of Mexico City. Cortés’ way of heading to the top to get noticed was by the Governor of Cuba, Diego Velazquez. He placed Cortes in charge of an expedition to colonize Mexico. He had many great success; he claimed land for Spanish Crown King, Charles V. Since Cortés claimed it for King Charles V he was named the Governor and Captain General of Mexico in 1523. He had many great successes that was still going on when he was on his way to colonize the The New World.

Hernando Cortes was one of the bravest military leaders of all time. Born in Medellin, Spain, he was a Spanish Conquistador who conquered most of Central America. He also gave Spain three-hundred years of control over Mexico. Cortes started exploring in the early 1500’s. He explored to find riches and conquered by being observant of the natives. With a small army, he conquered the Aztec Empire. Cortes went to the university in Salamanca, Spain. He attended the university to study Latin and Law. Unfortunately, Cortes completed only two years of school. He returned to his family in Medellin, Spain. However, life became boring for him. Nevertheless, Christopher Columbus inspired Cortes to explore the New World. Finally, Cortes was able to

Cortés conquered the Aztec Empire in present-day Mexico. He was a hard work-restless man in Spain who was anxious for a life of adventure. So when he was 18 , he hopped on a ship & traveled to the new world. In 1511 , he joined an expedition runned by a man name Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar. So when another conquistador, Juan de Grijalva , established a new colony on the mainland in early 1518, Cortés decided to take advantage. Cortes was appointed to the lead the expedition. Cortés sailed for the eastern shore of Mexico and arrived at Veracruz in July, 1519. As he approached the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, Cortés made alliances with other native people who had either been conquered by the Aztecs or was at war with them.

After building up his army, Cortes set sail for New Spain in mid-February 1519. They landed in Cozumel to find that the frightened Indians had fled from their villages. There Cortes began to lecture his men, “That this new land would be permanently pacified and truly conquered only if the Indians were induced to accept Spanish rule” (41). The Indians eventually returned to their homes, and Cortes introduced them to Christianity. While at this village, Cortes learned of the Aztec’s gold and treasures. He wanted to conquer the Aztecs and take their treasure. After several failed attempts of trying to meet with the Aztec Emperor, Montezuma II, Cortes decided to march to Tenochtitlan. Cortes gathered several hundred men and began his journey to the Aztec Capital. On the way, Cortes made alliances with several tribes that didn’t like their Aztec rulers. Cortes finally reached his destination of Tenochtitlan on November 8, 1519 and was greeted by Montezuma. The Aztec Emperor gave Cortes and his men gifts, because he thought this would stop Cortes from trying to take over the capital. Montezuma was wrong. Montezuma allowed Cortes and his army to stay in Tenochtitlan for several days. On the fifth day, Cortes and Montezuma had a dispute. They both decided Montezuma should stay with the Spaniards until the matter was resolved. Several months later, a fleet of fourteen hundred soldiers arrived at San

There were many different outcomes that came about from the first interactions between the Native Americans and the early explorers of the New World. The first Spanish expedition to the New World, supported by King Ferdinand, began circa June 1527. Panfilo de Narvaez, the captain of this search, left Spain with around three to four hundred men; however, when they arrived at Galveston Island there were only a handful of men that survived the treacherous journey. When the four men had first come into contact with the aborigines, they were kept as slaves. As their time in the New World neared its end, Cabeza de Vaca had become their shaman or doctor. Cabeza de Vaca, one of the four remnants of the first endeavor, writes about his encounters regarding
