Hernán Cortés , the Spanish usurper of Mexico at the time

---

I love how they refer to Cortes as a usurper of Mexico and how he killed the indigenous people of America. Besides taking on an empire of millions with an army of hundreds, he also put a stop to the indigenous peoples’ charming custom of ripping the hearts out of living sacrifices.

***I love how they refer to Cortes as a usurper of Mexico***

From what I’ve read, years ago, the Aztecs invaded from the North, and carved up the Mayan and Toltec empires for themselves.

But Cortez is the only “dirty rat dog” to do the same?
