Will their America be a paradise of plenty - a crime and pollution-free high-tech Eden?

Zustand: Fair. Hook, Adam (illustrator). The Spanish conquest of Mexico was a remarkable military expedition that had a huge impact on the history of the world. Hern?n Cort?s led the expedition, the aim of which was the addition of Mexico to the Spanish Empire, and the extraction of Aztec riches. Following the appearance of portents, the Aztecs were expecting a catastrophe in 1519, and the Spanish invasion fulfilled this expectation. Although they fought fiercely to the end, the Aztec civilisation was doomed, and the face of Mexico would be changed for ever. This book examines the campaign, but also the lives, training and experience of the men on both sides: the Spanish conquerors and their opponents, the exotic Aztecs, who were fighting for their lives and their civilisation. Contains material peviously published in Essential Histories 60, Warrior 32 and Warrior 40.; onderstrepingen en markeringen in de kantlijn met potlood in het begin, maar valt wel mee hoeveel.
