Tenochtitlan
Hello,
As we walked to Tenochtitlan we saw many different things and met many difficult challenges on the way. We ran out of food and water so we had to kill the wild animals for food and drink the river and swamp water for water. It is a lot more difficult then I expected. More of our men were dieing of lack of water and starvation. It is very sad that they won’t be able to see their loved ones ever again. Ay least luckaly no more horses have died. What I noticed afterwords is that the ship tha sank was one of the four ships that was carring gun powder. It is crucial that we spair as much gun poweder as possible.
As we kept walking we ran into many different native American polities such as the Nahuas of Tlaxcala and the Totonacs of Cempoala. We made alliances with all of them. We were almost at Tenochtitlan, we are so close.
By the time we arrived in Tenochtitlan we had a large army. At first, the Aztecs received our forces peacefully in Tenochtitlan where we stayed as guests at the palace of Moctezuma II. Moctezuma gave lavish gifts in gold to us which enticed them to plunder vast amounts of gold. The balance turned and Moctezuma became a prisoner in his own house while the we began surveying his empire. When the Aztecs perceived the weakened state of their ruler they staged a rebellion in order to eject us and our native American allies from the city. In the “La Noche Triste” we suffered great losses as they we forced to flee over the causeway to the mainland and back to Tlaxcala. But the we and our allies prevailed.
Hernán Cortés-
How could you do this!? After our emperor gives you plenty of gifts, you just keep him prisoner in his own home? Well, that’s just plain wrong. I can’t believe I thought you weren’t going to invade us! I trusted you! How could you do this? You know what, you are a dirty, rotten, and most definately a greedy person. You don’t have to invade anybody. So why did you conquer Cuba? Is your home town so horrible that you have to destroy other people’s homes to make yours seem better?
Anyways, I’m glad that we chased you out. I don’t know why you had to make such a fancy name for it. It’s called “Getting kicked out of a place that’s not yours”!
Bye. Not nice talking to you again.
I’m sorry but I had too it was orders. I do like you I really do.
We kept him prisnor just so that he wouldn’t say anything and ruin it all. My home is not horrible it is nice. Invadeing places is a job that I have to do.
Your luckey you chased us out, but I promise that it won’t happen again.
Bye! See you soon!!
