This year also is the 700th and 200th anniversaries of the founding of Tenochtitlan and formal independence from Spain, respectively.
The evidence demonstrates that the founding was in the year 1325 AD. In 1821 the end of the War and declaration of Independence, although Spain recognized it officially until December 28th, 1836, after the loss of Texas.
Who would win a Spanish Conquistador Hernan Cortes his 500 men and thousands of Native Allies Vs the Aztec Empire
Exactly! A lot of people ignore the fact that many many natives were bribed to join the Spanish due to their hatred towards the Aztecs. People think that the Spanish conquered all on their own lol.
@@Bitcash1 they still wanted to keep the culture which spainish did not
Besides the sacrifices
@@Bitcash1 People know they didn't but it's still just the idea that they got the job done
@@Bitcash1 they still came out top
Happy 500 Years of Christianity in Mexico.
By the way, we also celebrating 500 Years of Christianity here in the Philippines.
yeahhhhh ---- 500 years of not having to deal with Native human sacrifices, canibalism and war sacrifices and warship ! :)
@@Multi0703 wym human sacrifice is for the great of humanity . It’s a way to celebrate and sick salvation from the greater gods. I would gladly give my life for the better of my country .
@@DanielReyes-iq3bdcan you imagine if Mexico still practices their Ancient Traditions lol it would scare alot religion's
@@DanielReyes-iq3bd Dios mio ---- cuanta babosera uno tiene que leer en esta internet. Go and start preaching OPENLY in PUBLIC that YOU enjoy human sacrifices and support them: let's see how far you can get in life with such satanic beliefs!
@Jonathan Cruz69 Is the "Tzompantli" an exaggeration dude?
Wow what an interesting history ❤️
Es mentira que se llamara Mexico Tenochtitlan
Simplemente era Tenochtitlan
Mexico nacio de la fusion hispano mesoamericana
Deja el ardor
De verdad
En realidad se llamaba Meshiko-Tenochtitlan, el lugar de los meshikas, lugar de Tenoch, en honor a un lider posiblemente ficticio de los Meshikas llamado Tenoch, fue de los primeros tlatoanis.
Mexico is a Nahuatl word. Tenochtitlan was also known as Mexico Tenochtitlan. 🤦♂️
Que viva mi Mexico y nuestra historia, estoy feliz de tener ambas cosas de Europa y indígena americana en mi país.
Esto es México, la fusión de varios mundos!. Por eso el gran legado histórico y cultural de la gran nación, la unidad es la fuerza.
@@mexicanodecorazon1697”Unity is strength,” is so laughable. Not even the blind would fall for that.
@Braxld4551 If you like things European, why not move to Europe? Then come back and let’s see if you still like things European.
Speak english dummy
Thank you! This helped me with my English class! Ty!
Good video.
Wow they came back with 20,000 to come fight my ancestors in michoacan. Wow that’s fucken crazy my ancestors had some Balls.
Uruapan Michoacán Nueva Italia Apatzigan 👌
As a mexican i am proud of our Spanish heritage, viva la madre patria
@Jay Theboss why not
@Jay Theboss i think Spain brought some good culture to Mexico
God bless all those of European christoan heritage from Mexico to America to Canada to Europe, Russia, Oceania!!!
Mexico was born thanks to fusion with Spain. Period
Hypocrite atleast respect those indigenous people and heritage for humanity 🙄
Moroxico 😄🇲🇦💪
Mexico did not exist previous to Spain
Its was a group of different people always fighting and enslaving each other
But offcourse there’s always people trying to bend history on political agenda
The great country of Mexico was born after Spanish came
Born in blood, war, and smallpox
Theft
Stupid we had tech in our society’s so advanced back then
It was great before they arrived
@@fabiancardenas238 you would not be born if they hadn’t arrived chances are you have plenty Spanish blood in you
There is nothing more Powerful than God. God is Love. We have the ability to Love. Love is our Most Powerful weapon against Evil. God Bless Us All!!!
BS. where was good during the Spanish invasion? where was god during the pandemic? where is god now? god divides !! god is an idea!!
@@oNeEarThCitIzeN Let me ask a question please. Why do you put all your faith in man when he fails so miserably again and again and again?
@@kendavis8649 I don't .why would I? I'm asking you those questions. They are not rethorical.
@@oNeEarThCitIzeN God is everywhere all the time. He is constantly working to ensure that all of our dreams will come true. Not all will be in our lifetimes, but, eventually, we will all walk together in Paradise on Earth!!!
@@kendavis8649 God is not just love, but also just, and He doesn't approve of evil dreams, not all will walk in the paradise, only those who are worthy of it. No one is worthy of the paradise, because everyone has lied, stole, killed, lusted, and did some of these evil things, God can't accept any amount of evil, because He is perfectly good, but "God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3 16 KJV)
Viva mexico 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Viva españa 🇪🇸🇪🇸
Viva el Imperio Mexica! ¡Gloria a Moctezuma! 🇲🇽
*NO CONQUEST MY DEAR, INVADED AND ASSASSINATED AND THAT SOUND EXACTLY LIKE SOMETHING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER COUNTRIES THAT WERE ALSO INVADED*
By demonic souls. In the bible God says he will save subjugated people from their foreign subjugators, makes me believe they were sent by Satan himself.
Not at all, Spain, unlike other European powers, incorporated the natives into its empire.
@@rickyxxsi9177 More like France. France would be the lesser of evils. The French empire was based on the fur trade in this region and required Native American alliances to sustain it. Native people and the French traded, lived together, and often married each other and built families together. Many Native Americans, however, continued to practice their traditional religion or to observe a mixture of the two, and the French did not resort to forced conversions as the Spanish did.
My brother is white as snow and I’m Mexican asf
Mexican is not a colour 🤦♀️
Because being Mexican is the combination of the indigenous and Spanish blood...... Hence why some Mexicans are whiter and some are more indigenous looking and inbetween.
@@aideelopez579It is. Mexican ≠ Mexica and there is the people who are squatters and or who gained citizenship later on (only Mexican on paper).
@@joshuafult84Everyone being mixed with a Spanish is nothing but Spanish propaganda. You really believe 1% of the population manages to spread their DNA all over the Americas? That is logically impossible. Look up, ‘Mezitaje is a ideology of white supremacy.” It will break it down even more and you’ll know what I am talking about.
Moctezuma's brother was described as being as white as the Spaniards. The Spaniards themselves said that
You can’t have a Mexico today with the indigenous or the Spanish
Yeah 500 years and still counting still under White And Mestizo rulership
Meztizo rule is right!! After we were put Thru the mother of a culture shock and forced to mix, now they call us halfbreeds with disdain!! Got news for you ignoramuses, México has more full Native tribes than any other country, they still speak only their original language. Other than registered full Natives, Mexicanos carry more Native DNA than any other group, that is a scientific fact!! South America is no slouch either. México population Is Meztizo they r 50 percent or more Native. They marry each other, that Native DNA keeps getting stronger and the other weaker. I am 67 percent Native from 2 México tribes Huachelo and Yaqui, who also has tribes in USA, but I have fair skin. Damnit, we can't help the way we look, we were perfectly fine being and looking full Native! We did not invite the horror!! We don't give a flying what USA ppl say, u r the most misinformed ppl bout Natives, but u fill in the blank with hateful negative USA BS! Most of u don't know that all Southwest tribes were Mexican!! You can't grasp the concept that we r a huge nation of people in the Americas, we have core beliefs and we r connected and we feel the connection!!
@@teresafernandez9849 if Mexicans are so proud of their people and land why don’t they stay there
93% of mexicans are mestizo, are you an idiot? a ugandan man is more likely to be president than a european ugandan because they constitute more of the population. americans lmao
@@poopingoode417 maybe because the living conditions are really bad? cartel, capitalism, crime? do y’all not think 💀
Weren't the mestizos the ones who defeated the Spaniards in the war of independence? I remember reading about Hidalgo ringing a church bell calling to attack the Spaniards and they hunted them all down then Hidalgo was sad bc he didnt mean all of them just the ones oppressing them.
Free Palestine too
✊✊✊✊✊✊🔥
No
They should free themselves.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Idk how the Spanish stole alot of gold and still his countries it's not number 1
They built a fleet of ships to go against Britain and got destroyed.
Stealing? only 10% went to Spain while the rest was invested in America and in case you did not know, Spain in its imperial era had world hegemony for a long time.
@@eddiecruzito5066 Then the British did the same with more ships and they were destroyed.
@@eddiecruzito5066
By the weather.
If it had landed it would have been over for them.
There's a reason that they didn't want to fight the Spaniards on land and they actually declined an invitation from Spain to fight on terra firma :)
Having culture of siesta and Catholicism was a major role. Good thing Mexico already banned siesta culture. Now Catholicism would be another good option to ban.
Habibi
Americans?
so let me get this the Spanish lost the first battle got the other natives to turn on the aztecs came back and destroyed the Aztec.. they betrayed there own people for the gringos 🤦
Mercenaries. Most of military history is mercenary history. Now billionaires will soon be able to create their own armies and wage private wars on state governments as they have in the past.
Well yes and no. The Spaniard join forces the Tlaxcalans, which were not part Tenochtitlan; so they were consider Aztec/Mexica. They live in the Mexican state of Tlaxcalabut and were enemies of the Aztecs.
Aztlan... Mexica. 🙄😑🙃
2:22 Here's the thing...no of them are the descendants of the people of Tenochtitlan AKA the Aztecs/Mexica. The Mexica (their actual name) were wiped out by war and/or diseases brought by the Europeans. The Mexica empire was said to have been about 80,000 sq miles, but not all the people within those borders were Mexica. The were people from various other groups who were subjugated by the Mexica. The Iberian peninsula was once part of the Roman empire, but the people there weren't actually Romans. The vast majority of Mexicans do have indigenous DNA, but just not Aztec/Mexica.
The Mexica were a branch of the Nauha peoples, who are themselves still very much around with more than a million who identify as such. Their blood, while ravaged by disease and war, was not wiped out completely but has mixed in with many others. There definitely are descendants of the Mexica around today.
Define conquest, please..... I am Montezuma’s Heir. I am surrounded by “geniuses” who act like robots, but am still breathing air and laughing.
