I dont like that my grandparents weren't allowed to speak their native language. I dont like that their grandparents were treated like they were less than human. And I don't like that we were seen as savages in need of civilization. We had a thriving, complex, and beautiful civilization. So... No. I don't like Cortez or what the Spanish did to my ancestors. I guess it was worth betraying the Mexica to roll over for the europeans... For what?! To speak their language and follow their religion? I constantly wonder what this continent could have became if left to our own devices. & to think our civilization was incapable of progress without european colonization is ignorant and racist.
The book “Conquistador” by Buddy Levy is the most enthralling account of Cortez’ conquest of Mexico for those nerds who wish to deep dive into this subject. The entire story is shocking and riveting.

My family is from the state of Jalisco. Not a lot of us would have been born since he was the catalyst to the mestizaje prevalent in this state. The Spanish conquered but mixed with the american indian cultures. While their northern European counterparts conquered, and exterminated.
Actually up until 1910 80% of the Mexican population still spoke indigenious langauges. Gustavo Madero did a census 4 times in the 1900s and confirmed this fact. Majority of the Iberian Mexicans actually descend from the 1940s migration wave after the Franco Civil War ; Basque, Judios, Gitanos came to Mexico. That's why you hear more CALO in Mexican Spanish than Castillian. You hear Castillian in Puerto Rican and Cuban Spanish but Mexican Spanish is very Nahuatl and Latin(italian) with some Calo. Mestizajes were rare, they occured in the 1600s but in the 1700s they declined in popularity. Mestizajes were only found in cities like Monterrey, Jalisco and Mexico City but Oaxaca, Toluca, Sonora, Yucatan - 85% of the country was still very homogenous. I mean the English were in Hong Kong and India and mixed just as much as Iberians with Mexicans but the Catonese and HIndi population don't have a mestizaje chapter. Same with French in Africa and Vietnam. Again, majority of the Iberian Mexicans like Vicente Fox and Gael Garcia Bernal can trace their iberian heritage to the 1940s. The Mestizaje myth was invented by the Diaz Ordaz government in the 60s during the Tlatlelco massacre and Olympics. Many of them were affiliated with right wings. Also, the reason why Mexico speaks Spanish today is because of Lazarao Cardenas when he made public education mandatory. You actually see this happen in a lot of countries. Many countries like UK, Germany, Japan, China and Russia had dialects and spoke different langauges. They standardized their langauges in early 1900s and many regional dialects were lost ; ie Hoch Doch, Swabian, Basque, Mansi, Welsch. Many people today think they were just accents but they were actually full on langauges, Mexico was also apart of this. Mexico elected Spanish because after the Franco war it received many scientest and engineers and industrial workers from Catalonia and Basque and there were no Engineering books written in Nahautl. Grupo Televisa inveted this whole mestizo myth too . A lot of the movies and commercials are very white , but it gets strenghten in the 80s . But if you ever travel to Mexico City and ride the metro, we see that that whole myth is so FOS. Mexico is still 80% native dude. DNA tests have confirmed this too.

If you ever go to a Catholic Spanish Mass, this is how the music sounds. It’s a style. Very different from the English masses, but both are just as nice. (I’m Mexican and Catholic.) Oh and some Mexican choirs even have electric guitars, keyboards and drums. The music sounds more like ranchero music. Very cool to hear too. I’ve listened to some really good choirs in the Chicagoland area.
Che, dónde aprendiste español? Porque ésta es la primera vez que te escucho hablarlo y me llamó la atención que tu acento no sea español como la mayoría de personas que lo aprenden
I wonder why people assume Europeans just came and conquered by themselves and all the natives were peaceful and innocent In reality there were various warring factions all the time. Cortez had tons of Native allies because many natives actually hated the Aztecs. Aztecs were brutal rulers that wanted human sacrifices sent to them constantly It wasn’t natives v Spanish. It was Aztec v non-Aztec and Spanish The natives didn’t see themselves as one large group of people but various tribes. So the Spanish were just another group on the land that were useful in overthrowing their oppressors
The fall of Mexican tribes as well as the American tribes is very similar. "Why would we fight them when they're already fighting each other" and this strategy work well for the spanish as we can now see. Find out who top dog is and who their enemies are, get all their enemies together and attack them, found out the next top dog and get their enemies together...see the trend? Proxy wars at its finest and by the end they had no idea they were and would be genocided until too little, too late
Hi! First of all I appreciate your work in this channel visiting different countries and knowing other cultures, is very interesting. Seeing this video and the opinions of this persons, I see that some of the mexicans still belive the "Black Legend" promoted by the British empire in that age to dicredit the Spanish empire because of the colonial competition. Actually the big number of deaths in America was because of the flu that the spaniards brought to America, but they brought it unconsciously, and the thought that a lot of latin americans have about the conquer being spaniards vs indigenous villages united as one village is wrong, because Hernan Cortés could defeat the aztecs thanks to the support of the other indegenous people, because is important to know that America before the arrival of the europeans was divided in hundreds of indegenous tribes and empires battling each other to have more territories, so the conquer isn't as evil as a lot of latin americans think. Also a lot of latino americans say that spaniards killed their ancestors, which is not correct at all, because of the mixture between indigenous and spaniards, so their ancestors are both, spaniards and indigenous, not only indigenous. And Spain also made protection laws for the indigenous, making them the first european state to legalize the interracial marriage and giving protection and education to the indigenous people, a famous example is what Fray Junípero Serra did in California. I only wanted to clarify this, sorry by my bad english. Great video man, your channel is very cool, keep doing what you do!!!
This is whitewashing at its finest. I knew the British tried to rationalize their empire but my god it appears the Spanish are even more delusional. If the Spanish were so good to the mesoamericans & Latinos why isn’t their something to the equivalent of the commonwealth between Spain and it’s former territories?
You know how many treaties and promises you europeans made but never followed through, both mine and your ancestor’s fought for our lands against our own yours in europe and mine in the Americas but yours were called heroes and mine were called savages. Don’t speak on something you don’t understand.
@@Calmzat because the spaniards gave them the total independence..., you think is bettet to have a Commonwealth? USA isn't part of it for example, and it was a colony of England, the USA wanted total independence, just like the Latin american countries. But I'm talking about social politics that spaniards have done, and that were manipulated by England. The other elements like economy, are different topics of what I am talking about.
@@ocelotl4655 I'm not talking about that, of course Spain has done bad things, the slavery for example was legal, just like other empires, and that some indigenous civilizations had a lot of revolutionary scientific inventions and dicoveries. That's not what I am talking about, what I said is that the Spanish empire wasn't so evil as the Black Legend says.
Cuanta ignorancia de la gente mejicana que expone sus opiniones en este video, hablan de los españoles que llegaron allí cómo "ellos", cuando tendrían que decir "nosotros" ya que los que fueron para esos lares son sus antepasados, pero claro no quieren entender tal hecho ya que supondría una total frustración debido a que el argumento indigenista que se les ha inculcado en los últimos tiempos se les haría añicos.
Its a hard question to answer as many Mexicans have both indigenous and Spanish ancestry. It is the same with African Americans, although some of their ancestors were wronged through slavery 98% of them have European dna, meaning they are more likely related to a slave owner than the average European as the majority of Europeans at the time were poor.
Let’s cut the crap, it was just England and not the rest of Europe. Spain brought Jesus Christ message of salvation of the human special while England brought satanic worship via Freemasonry
Yeah......I'm still gonna root for Cortez. Land belongs to whoever can keep it. And frankly, its a good thing the Conquistadors came into this "civilization" and announced there would be no more human sacrifices.
whatever they brings the facts is all colonization are worst, if they dont come local people will survive on its own terms....so any country should erased this figure out their text book.
What do YOU think of Cortez?
He's too vilified. People often over look the fact that he stopped the practice of human sacrifice and cannibalism among the natives.
Awful person but that was how everyone was in those times
@@jesse3912 no everyone was not. you think Montezuma's daughter was as bad as Cortez? Dumbest comment I've ever read
From Ive heard i like him, I like him.
I dont like that my grandparents weren't allowed to speak their native language. I dont like that their grandparents were treated like they were less than human. And I don't like that we were seen as savages in need of civilization. We had a thriving, complex, and beautiful civilization.

Syphilis, smallpox, and the flu did the real job. When Cortez came back in 1521, almost all the Aztecs were sick or dying.
But he still rallied tribes and did the real job himself!!! He defeated the tlaxcaltecas and the aztecas, the toltecas
