Journeys of Discovery – 4; Hernando Cortes

WE HAVE A WINNER!

Mickunited333 maintained his lead over tec805 to win!
Very well done! =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

My fourth journey of exploration and discovery follows the exploits of Hernando Cortes (1485-1547) from Spain. He joined an expedition to the West Indies and, for a few years settled on the island of Cuba and became a rancher. He later explored Mexico and in 1519 he learned about the fabulous riches of the Aztec Empire and, with an army of soldiers, explored and conquered the lands of the Aztecs. By 1520, a land of 5 Million Aztecs had been subjugated by Cortes (with fewer than 1,000 soldiers!) and a fortune in gold and jewels had been shipped back to Spain. Cortes later explored California before returning to Mexico and later to Spain.

We recreate his journeys, starting in the Iberian Peninsula and calling at the Caribbean Islands, Mexico, Central America before concluding with a battle in the New World. In the same way that Cortes overcame forces that outnumbered his army and, in doing so, amassed a fortune, so must you!

I think I see a pattern here. To be an explorer, presumably, you need lots of facial hair and a sour expression.

Good Luck!

Dave
