So unrealistic, no one seems to be dying of smallpox.
Wow, those eyewitnesses must be really old.
First image is the depiction of a brave conquistador ending the meal of a cannibal.
Second image is a stupid conquistador about to be eaten by a cannibal…
TBF sometimes having sex with the Spanish and being murdered by them is really hard to tell apart. We know all about it. So when they have sex with you, and then cut your throat and dump you in a well, is that scenario #1 or #2? Or a bit of both perhaps?
They’re the same picture if you don’t kinkshame /s
Second one is based on Portuguese colonization of bruhzil
The left piece is a detail of the manuscript of [Codex Kingsborough](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex_Kingsborough), which isn’t even the original, it’s the english version of the original text which was payed by lord Kingsborough in 1836.
The original text (1550) were documents in european paper, written and commisioned by the natives of Tepetlaoztoc allegedly with the input and help of spanish priests, who were **suing** their encomendero Luis de Tepada in the spanish courts of the council of indias, so the original nature of the originals was trial allegations.
The council of indias was an entity dedicated solely to the american territories and one of it’s duties is seen here, to hear the complains of the natives who required to be treated fairly as the laws of indias dictated, and so their encomendero was sued. This small process from the 16th century is ages ahead of some of the european colonies of África like Congo, Rwanda or Namibia, and their value and respect is hard to be questioned, as these trial papers were kept safely in **Madrid** from the 16th century to the 19th, which means that these allegations got to the court of the king of Spain who I imagine acted accordingly as law demanded.
With the french invasion of Spain, some of the royal manuscrips were burned, and the rest stolen, hundreds of them got to Paris and from there some were bought by Lord Kingsborough, who translated and mixed a bunch of them in his manuscript.
Spanish conquest of the Aztecs is just the most accurate depiction of “You freed us!” “I wouldn’t say free, more like under new management”
In reality it’s both, at the same time.
Jealous Swiss…
More like first image is british and american eyewitnesses blaming the spanish for what they did themselves.
Thanks to the Spanish explorers reaching North America 100 years before England,spreading small pox, there was hardly anyone left to conquer by the time we got there. Last time Spain did anything worthwhile.
