2 Respuestaszzz learning about that stuff was so boring. all these "great civilizations" get their asses HANDED TO THEM by a few hundred dudes and sometimes even less... pathetic. idc if they had "advanced weaponry" and things the natives had never seen before... just swarm them. dumbasses. [spoiler]i didn't answer ur question sorry op[/spoiler]

Even if they won more would come and the diseases that Cortes brought were already spreading amongst them they were doomed from the start no matter what happened.
-
Another guy would come along and kill them (the Aztecs) off probably.
-
3 RespuestasThen there is a possibility that I would not exist, recently I have discovered that I have ancestral tie to him
-
1 RespuestaThats a stretch...
-
Mapuches kill them all, as ussual.
-
The Spanish would most likely come back with a bigger force and destroy all the natives
-
They would come back with more. But this time probably eradicate the Aztecs.
-
3 RespuestasWould that mean the wall won't be built?
-
I have no actual evidence, but I wonder if Texas would've expanded farther south as a result.
-
1 RespuestaThen the other tribes would still be in revolt. Cortez was just a spark in a bed of dry Leaves.
-
The Aztec would Probably have become the most powerful tribe after having looted all his stuff.
-
They would have still died from disease exposure even if they beat them.

9 RespuestasThat would be a [i]huge[/i] "if." While Hernan Cortes did suffer one major defeat while fleeing from the capital city of the Aztecs, the Spanish were virtually guaranteed to prevail in any martial engagement. The numbers were astounding. Cortes could have slain 250 Aztecs for every 1 Conquistador and he would still be outnumbered. The scary part is that he began approaching that number. Western civilization's conceptual take on warfare gave the Spaniards a huge advantage. Ranks of highly disciplined heavy infantry that could attack in volleys and move as a unit were far more effective than swarms of wicker-clad jaguar warriors.

3 RespuestasNo potatoes

1 RespuestaIt wouldve been fair. But god knows what way world would be shaped so I would just stick to what happened
-
1 RespuestaC'mon, thats like saying the Space Wolves Chapter would lose to Spartan 2s. It can't happen.
-
Even if he was, someone else would inevitably conquer them at a later date. The Aztec's and their land were far too valuable for an overwhelming European power like Spain to pass up. Cortez's defeat would just leave the door open for someone else a few years later. As the Aztecs would be left nearly defenseless if they had won.
-
1 RespuestaThe Aztecs would have likely still succumbed to the Old World viruses that were carried in by the Spanish. Other conquistadors would have arrived sooner or later.
