Based on early accounts, this lecture details the historic meeting between Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés and Moctezuma II and the fall of Mexico. This was a most significant historical invasion toppling one of the greatest empires in 1521. The way of life once lived in Ancient Mexico (Mesoamerica) was forever transformed by the Spanish conquest.
