  2. ​ @charlesmiv3842 They didn't need to make up stories to justify conquering Mexico. At once you say the Spaniards are genocidal maniacs but at the same time you're saying that they needed to convince the bleeding heart Spanish crown why it was okay to conquer a new land.

  3.  @charlesmiv3842  I just read about an archaeological dig in Mexico City where they found racks of human skulls just as described by the conquistadors. Are the archaeologists making it up too? It happened.

  4. Read The Conquest of New Spain by Bernal Diaz del Castillo..That is the first hand account. There is a smaller version of it called the Conquest of Mexico.
