So the Aztecs should be grateful for the Spanish "intervention," right? All hail the white man or something?
They weren't evil, unless you're saying Abraham was evil. He would have sacrificed Isaac for his God, same as the Aztecs. Many of the other faiths in the Middle East were still practicing sacrifice after Abraham; they became Christians, too.
The Spanish who came in and murdered and enslaved the Aztecs and destroyed their culture,....
" So the Aztecs should be grateful for the Spanish "intervention," right? " whats about others nations which were terrorized by Aztecs 100s and 100s years, Aztecs were just a small nation in Aztec empire , which used other nations around in the same way we used caws - pigs in our farms
"The Spanish who came in and murdered and enslaved the Aztecs and destroyed their culture" oh my God, what Aztecs did to cultures and people of conquered nations ?
You don't seem to agree with what the Aztecs did to other "nations." But it is okay that the Spanish did the same thing? And used them like cows (well, more like mules, I think).
i make it more simple for you,
Aztecs were the worst possible imperialists out there. Spanish&Portuguese were the best in history , so called 2 catholic (missionary) empires
they were a vast improvement over the native status quo, certainly. Also far less violent than the natives, who genocided out of existence hundreds and thousands of tribes while building their empires; the Euros let most of them survive, as the white settlers did with native American tribes.
No, the Euros didn't let most of them survive. Or if they did, they let them survive until they were worked to death as slaves in the silver and gold mines. Where do you get this nonsense?
The truth is, humankind is violent and they treat one another like assholes. Our entire history is one of killing. Aztecs were bad but the Spanish were no better and the English may not have enslaved the Native Americans, but they forced them off their lands, meanwhile enslaving a whole 'nother group of people from Africa. Portugese were the ring leaders of that little enterprise.
None of them were any better than the natives who were killing and enslaving their own.
That behavior sucked all around and you have no reason to be patting anyone on the back for it.
