In Mexico, the people lived peacefully in their polytheistic society. One day, Spaniards came to the land of Mazatlan in ships, riding horses. The Mexicans did not know who these Spaniards were, and the regal creatures they rode upon were not familiar to the people. The Mexicans, although with some dissension, concluded that they were gods. They assimilated the Spaniards into their society and welcomed them into their land. The Spaniards decided to play along, but they knew they had to be meticulous with what they said or did, as they planned to conquer the land, and because of this conspiracy, they came to be known as the Conquistadors.
As the Mexicans came to know more about these Spaniards, they started to lionize them. They were fascinated by the technology they had in Spain. Because of this idolization, the people were fooled and deceived the day that the Conquistadors overthrew Great Mexico’s power.
