The Aztec Empire — Rise, Glory, and Destruction - 500 Men and the End of a World

from The Aztec Empire — Rise, Glory, and Destruction · host Inception Point AI

Jack Maddox explores how Hernán Cortés and 500 Spaniards toppled the mighty Aztec Empire in two years—not through military might, but by exploiting political fractures, indigenous alliances, and smallpox. The siege of Tenochtitlán wasn't a Spanish conquest; it was a continent-wide reckoning that erased one of history's greatest civilizations. Loved this episode?
