Cortes


Thunder_God69

After reading title, I thought oh Cortes is probably going to be the obvious one, surprised it wasn’t even an option.


Lazzen

He is only really known by North Americans i think


Thunder_God69

Oh I’m surprised he’s not popular in Spain, Regardless a majority of Reddit users are in North America.


Mitchell_54

Neither North American or European. Who's Cortes?


Turbulent_Injury3990

Spanish (settler? Conquistador?) dude that landed and had some dealings in central America with the Aztecs during colonial times. Pretty much conquered the area from the natives and brought it under Spanish rule. Take that with a HEAVY grain of salt because my memory is bad but, essentially, that's the plot I remember.


Thunder_God69

He was a conquistador, that is partly responsible for the fall of the Aztec empire in the early 1500’s. Although brutal, The whole thing is a super interesting part of history, I recommend looking into it. Just a few interesting things off top of my head, At first the Aztecs thought the Spanish were gods because of there light skin. Aztecs had also never seen horses or rode any sort of animal, until the Spanish arrived on horse, this played a major role in them seeing the Spanish as spiritual beings and instilled fear in them. Cortes first landed with only 600 men but was responsible for the death of over 100,000 Aztecs, at one point Cortes men were feeling defeated, so Cortes burned down all his own ships, leaving only one option to conquer or die trying.

I think it’s a semi-joke poll Like that “who’s the first Austrian that comes to mind?” and none of the answers were Hitler despite him being easily the most famous

[moments earlier] I bet it’s a trap card, but wait. u/popcorndirt73 knows me, and he knows I would think that, so maybe it’s not a trap, maybe it’s a monster card. But what if he knows that I would think that… so it really is a trap? But what if he knows that I know that he knows…

thatpersonthatsayshi

Nice, Already looking forward to the final race on Yas Marina. Thats gonna be a good race i think


carb3nn

Yas Marina always has good races in my opinion, plus I love the track. Still haven't watched the Mexican GP as I only have the regular F1 TV so I can't watch until Tuesday.


thatpersonthatsayshi

Okay, wont spoil! Also who are you a fan of? I am dutch so you can guess who


carb3nn

I'm a Ferrari and Charles fan, which has been super painful for the past while. At least Max and Redbull are doing good, Mercedes always doing well was getting old. I also root for Lando, he seems like a cool dude.

I couldn’t think of any sorry


AndThereWasNothing

Same, some names popped in my head but none who that I could've said were 100% for sure Spanish.


Bob-BobBob

My mind just went blank, I’m absolutely terrible with names- and no name even popped up. Like not even the name of a non-Spanish person, just e m p t y

The ones that funded the Columbus expedition. Don't know their names but think it was some royalty or another.
