In the early 1500's the Spanish were in Central America to do two things: Conquer the land and chew bubble gum. And they didn't even know what bubble gum was. In this episode we begin the story of Spanish Conquistador Hernan Cortes as he makes his way from Cuba through Mexico toward a fated meeting with the ruler of an empire so massive and decadent, it was like nothing the Europeans had ever seen. This is a tale of treachery, politics, war, and one fateful trip to Disney World. So, grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy this episode of Hundred Proof History titled The Fall of the Aztecs Part I: MonteZOOMa Meeting!
