Title: " Hernan Cortes (1485-1547) "
Fiercest of the Spanish conquistadors, Hernan Cortes overtook Mexican cities and toppled the Aztec empire. Believing his actions were for the good of Spain and the glory of God, Cortes created an imposing army using the Indians who had survived his conquests. Though he eventually established himself as a colonial ruler and in many ways united the natives of Mexico, he left a controversial legacy and is remembered both as a brutal conqueror and as a courageous leader.
