WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE AZTECS HAVE KILLED THE SPANISH? By Oliver & Andres BACKGROUND The Aztec colonization was one of the most important event in the story of Mexico. From February 1519 to august 1521, Aztecs had been conquered by the Spanish people lead by Hernan Cortés. Marked by punishment, he and his people took control of the big Tenochtitlan and the Aztec people. EVENT 1 If Aztecs have killed the Spanish we would not speak Spanish. EVIDENCE Spanish people brought their language from Spain and they made them change all of their traditions, even their native language! EVENT 2 If Aztecs have killed the Spanish there would be no Mexican white people. EVIDENCE Because of the new conquest, Spanish mixed their genes with the Aztecs making the “new race” characterized by making children more white than they actually were, if that would not happened most of the Mexicans might still as dark as pure Aztec blood. EVENT 3 If Aztecs have killed the Spanish religion would be very different, so different that maybe we might still believing in the Aztec gods, like the god of storm, the god of the sun, even the god of the god of tequila, just like Greeks but more Mexican. EVIDENCE Europeans brought the Christianity to all America, the New World was the perfect place for Spain to recapture the souls it had lost to Protestant "heresy" in Europe, but also because of the Aztecs own religion they were obligated to change their religion other ways they will be killed. HOW THE WORLD WOULD BE DIFFERENT? Mexico might be not big potential country is now because thanks to Spanish, Aztecs found the new technologies and techniques of government, we might still believing in sacrifices to please the gods and living speaking other language instead of Spanish and even might have another name instead of Mexico, but that could be only one side of “a new story”.
