Guy6 Monsters, Bloodshed, Treachery and the Enemy Got Away!

Cortez and Pizarro conquered the Aztecs and Incas of South America.

Both Cortes and Pizarro took advantage of different tribes through treachery and bloodshed. Both Cortes and Pizarro were born in Spain: the former in the year 1485, the latter in 1475 (Britannica 2002, n.p.). Both of these men were avid adventurers and loved discovering new lands and people. They both headed west toward the new world at the ages of 35 (Pizarro) and 19 (Cortes) (Britannica 2002, n.p.). Eventually, their deeds would play a large part in the early shaping of South America and would change how the Europeans perceived the Americas.

Cortez killed Montezuma

Pizarro and Cortes' fighting styles during their conquests were quite similar. In 1519, Cortes started his campaign against the Aztecs, while Pizarro commenced his military operation against the Incas in 1526 (Britannica 2002, nap.). Both recognized Indian tactics such as decoy and ambush, and use corrective measures to exploit these attacks. Both used horses in their conquest which gave them a large advantage. The rulers of each tribe were victims of their treachery. Cortes took advantage of the misconception by the Indians that he was Quetzaquotal, an Aztec god. After being welcomed warmly because of this misconception, Cortez secretly took Montezuma, the ruler of the Aztec kingdom, hostage and ruled the country through him (Britannica 2002, n.p.). After Cortes had finished getting gold and other riches from the Aztecs, he killed Montezuma. Pizarro, on the other hand, invited the Inca prince Atahuallpa into their camp, and deceitfully captured him and killed all his companions. Although Atahuallpa followed his promise to fill a room with gold and other riches that was 22x17 feet in size, Pizarro killed him (Francisco Pizarro, par. 4). Without a leader, the unorganized and confused Inca army was defeated by the lesser force of Spaniards.
