Hernán Cortés Part IV: The Sacking of Tenochtitlán


Listen Later

This is the fourth of five episodes in a series which explores the war between Spanish Conquistador Hernán Cortés and the Aztec Empire of Montezuma. The Spanish seemingly have full control over the Aztecs through their prisoner Montezuma.   But soon, Cortés will be called from the city during an assembly for the Aztecs war God.  The ensuing uprising results in the Night of Tears and the expulsion of all Spanish from the capital.  Cortés is down, but not out, however, as small pox begins to ravage the empire allowing the Conquistador a chance at retaking Tenochtitlán.
