New Mexico
Hello,
We are going back to Tenochtitlan. This time we have reinforcements from Cuba and this time we won’t fail. We are still aliies all of the native tribes and they want to get rid of the Aztecs’ just as much as we do. We are heading back to Tenochtitlan tomorrow but first my army and I must get a good night sleep. Tomorrow is going to be scary.
Tomorrow came quicker than I thought. But we didn’t deside to attack right now. We stayed with our allies and trained to fight and healed our wounds from the Aztecs. We did this for a while until January 1521. On this date we went back to the vally of Mexico to attack once again. This time we had a new sratatgy we staged a series of raids down the countryside. After that we sent out our newly built fleet of men. It soon became May and I now began my final assault on Tenochtitlán,bearing down from every direction, with separate divisions assigned to each of the city’s three causeways and the flotilla moving in by water.
The Aztecs put up a very good fight. They were under leadership of the last Aztec emperor, Cuauhtemoc. The Aztecs withstood an 80-day siege. They finally surrendering August 13, 1521.
We were fueled by victory, we lay the Aztec empire to waste, erasing the remnants of the culture as best as we could, scorching Tenochtitlán by fire, leveling its majestic temples. The rubble would make up the foundations of a new world, the cradle of a brand new people. Mexico was born, The expedition was complete.
Good Bye my friends,
-Hernán Cortés-
