What were the Aztecs and spanish relations?
The Spanish came to South America, and the Aztecs thought that this was the 'white god' that they had been told to watch out for that specific year. They treated the Spanish Conquistadors with riches and lavish food, as they would a God. The Spanish scribes reported that they 'were sickened by the people's horrifying customs', which was referring to the sacrifice they did. Then, when the Spanish asked for more to take home with them, the Aztecs realized that they were not the 'white god' they were looking for, and turned on them. However, the Conquistadors had the horses, the guns, and they had most of the commoners of the Aztec society on their side, for they were unhappy with the way their Empire was being run. With these people and the Spanish's technology advancements, they overthrew the Aztec Empire. After the Aztecs were in the hands of the Conquistadors, the Spanish treated the Aztec people cruelly, making them as slaves and torturing them. They burned all the Aztec literature they could find, saying that it was 'the work of the devil'. In the end, the Spanish recorded their conquer of the Aztec Empire, saying that with their own little band of Catholic people, they fought the entire nation and won. But they lied, because they would have never survived without the help of the Aztec commoners. !
