       When Hernán Cortés arrived on the shores of the New World with 600 men, he burned his own ships so there would be no possibility of retreat. They would either conquer the Aztec Empire or die trying.

       @Fash-E Most people don't know this, but he wasn't supposed to be there. He snuck out at night from Cuba with his men after his orders were rescinded by the governor of Cuba. After arriving on the Mexican mainland, heard a rumor that some of his men were still loyal to the governor and were planning to escape. He had some of them hanged, some wiped and another had his foot mutilated. He scuttled his ships after this to prevent any escape.The whole story is pretty fantastic, he fought and recruited neighboring tribes and then had to defeat another Spanish force sent to capture him. Fascinating stuff

       @Fash-E Mexican lore reads more like a viking saga when compared to America. Lots of murder, betrayals, prophecies, supernatural events. It's fucking nuts
