You can't deny Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul as a tremendous achievement.
Likewise Hernándo Cortés' conquest of the million-strong Aztec Army with only 600 men was incredible no matter how you slice it.

It would be... but that never happened. When Cortez defeated the Aztecs, he was supported by many of the surrounding tribes which had been previously subjugated by the Aztecs. The 600 vs. 1 million stuff is pure fantasy.
