one second

Then halfway to the capital the governor of Cuba had sent soldiers to arrest him. Cortes risked his entire expedition sending men back to intercept them, which they did brilliantly, capturing all the officers and adding the rest to their ranks.

Then when he makes it to Tenochitlan, he gets the balls to arrest Montezuma himself.

thats not what happened-

number one it wasnt just him and a few thousand men

he made allies with most of the tribes he encountered and teamed up with them to fight other tribes

then he was INVITED to the palace in tenochitlan for a dinner

and decided to betray the king and hold him hostage

It was just him and a few thousand men

nothing heroic about that

yes him and a few thousand men

But you're making my point for me. He managed to make alliances on the spot to his advantage. Every obstacle Cortes faced, he handled deftly.

then after taking the capital

he ran away from the city

because the spanish were coming

to arrest him

ah right, I messed the timeline there

did i mention that there was already a rebellion in Tenochitlan

which he just joined

..

Montezuma was killed DURING this rebellion while cortes was fighting against his own country

then the Aztecs eventually drove the Spanish & cortes from the city

until two years later they died of disease

and most fled to move to other parts of mexico

then cortes came BACK to this weakened city

and took it over

The fact he was alive after all that keeps reinforcing my point. There's maybe 10 men in history that could have negotiated it as well as he did.

literally most of the worlds leaders

could have done that

nah

These are the English editions of *Mein Kampf* I own: Dugsdale, Shaw, Reynal and Hitchcock, Stalag, Ford. Which one should I read and why?

Ford, then throw it in the trash.
