The Rest Is History

CHAPTER

The Dynamics between Moktsizuma and Cortez

The chapter explores the relationship between Moktsizuma, the emperor, and Cortez, the figure who alarms him, drawing comparisons to aliens landing on Earth. It challenges the notion that the hosts would have completely obeyed themselves and grown up, emphasizing caution rather than killing. The chapter also discusses the potential for more Spaniards to arrive in Moktsizuma's empire through Cortez's development of a ship.
