    The conquest of New Spain (Mexico) is absolutely fascinating.

    What a great video. No rambling, silly jokes, or politics. Just a condensed history with clear and helpful graphics.

    Interesting that most of the locals in central America had already had enough of the Aztecs and were more than happy to help Cortez get rid of them.

    Never heard any video explain the siege of Tenochtitlan so well. Most sources do not go into this much detail.

    The Spanish Empire was not a colonial empire such as the English, French or Dutch, but on the contrary, it was the last empire of the ancient type, closer to what Rome or Greece were. 300-400 years of domain based on miscegenation, alphabetization and conversion of different peoples; construction of universities, cathedrals and cities worldwide; a huge cultural and artistic explotion; deliberation of new phylisophic, teologic and juridic debates in human history (like f.e., if all humans were equal); discoverments that changed the conception of the world; opening of new shipping routes; creation of an undefeated infantry for 2 centuries; expansion of the Hispanic culture throughout the Atlantic and Pacific ocean (called &quot;the spanish lake&quot; at that time) as Rome did throughout the Mediterranean... All of this, in a world as big as the one we know today, but using a technology from 5 centuries ago.<br><br>From there onward, european empires had a colonial model based on mercantilism, slavery, and large-scale production, creating factories or plantations in overseas possessions, instead of a civilizing reproduction of their society. The former were a global market, the latter a global kingdom. European empires shouldnt be generalized by the fact of having overseas territories, because not all of them were the same.

    It lacks the visual beauty of the documentaries done nowadays, but the content is very well narrated. I can say it is the best documentary I saw in years regarding the history of the Spanish Empire. Condensing it in an hour documentary is an art, in which he superbly did it! Thumbs up! Keep up the good work, guys!
