Conquest of the Aztec Empire - an Episode of Colonial History
In a follow-up to our last event on Columbus, Prof. Chew will take the narrative and analysis forward and conclude. While last we discussed Columbus, “the man with a plan,” its origins and implementation with the support of the Spanish Crown, we will now explore the early phase of Spanish New World colonization on the ground and their impact.
We will show a short video on the Aztec empire; see link below.
