1: 27; 1: 34 Moctezuma never believed that Cortez was the mighty god -Quetzalcoatl-. This is just Spanish Propaganda. The Mexikah/Aztecs knew the Spaniards were regular people just like them, they never believed them to be -Gods-.
Infact they were disgusted by the Spaniards because they never bathed! The Mexikahs/Azetcs burnt tons of Sage to overcome their hideous odor. The Spaniards spent months on their boats without bathing.
Tenochtitlan was literally in a lake, you think they never bathed? Maybe the sage burning tricked the Spaniards into believing that the Aztecs did it out of respect/worship but they're wrong.
They arrived on a ship just like the ones they had in Tenochtitlan. They used canoes to travel around Tenochtitlan. The Mexikahs/Aztecs found them to be filthy.

ehhhh this seems like a la Americana -Puritanism - Anti Catholic Anti Spain propaganda trash. Very typical to make the Spaniards evil conquering no mercy hate etc conquerors. Just like when they try to give a quickie on the Spanish Armada and how they were defeated etc etc - no one talks about the counter Armada etc the conquest of the Aztecs and the rest of the savages that existed around Tenoch was bound to happen and i hardly feel sorry for them with their blood thirsty gods and priests - completely diabolical and disgusting of a native culture cutting heads off ripping hearts out throwing the dead corpses down the pyramids skulls decorating walk ways and roads blood up to their knees etc etc Cortes and his conquistadores did very well taking out the evils that it was

I can't even begin to tell the inaccuracies this video tells, it is so wrong, Moctezuma never tought Cortez was a God, in fact he told them to leave but Cortez pushed forward, Mexico was never colonized, it was in fact part of the Spanish empire, it wasn't a colony, the war for independance was in fact a war against the french imposed ruler and it was a war supporting the restoration of the original spanish monarchy, in the end the much weakened spanish spanish empire had so little power over new spain that it ended up becoming independent thanks to people that saw the opportunity to create a new mexican epire, wich ended up in the country of Mexico.

Wow this video ignores a lot of history. One of the big ones in recent Mexico history is the cartels and how they affected criminal justice, culture, music, journalism, world relations, and economics in Mexico. Not even mentioning that is wrong. What about Pancho Villa? The dude regime changed the government. Giving a brief mention is crazy given how much history that changed forever. The Mexican American War? America gets to Mexico City, but let's not show that at all. Geez. I guess as a history teacher I expect too much.

A statement made is wrong: Cortes never conquered Mexico since Mexico did not exist at that time, just the Aztec empire which had been occupying the central valley for hardly 200 years while severely oppressing all the tribes they could. We could say Mexico was born with its independence.

The reason why he supposedly massacred those people is because of all of the cannibalism that was going on at that party something that was punishable by death and good chance he was drunk too, but you just skim over that and make it look like he was just a harsh overlord.

Morelos died before Guerrero and Iturbide compromised for independence though, that's not really made clear here. Also wish there had been more recently history. The 20th century Mexican history is probably their most interesting period. Otherwise, not a bad vid at all: )

This such a disappointing video from a Chanel that usually makes so good content. Very poorly summary of 500 years. And it-s was so posed to be about Mexico, yet most of actually Mexican (that is independent Mexico) conflicts and wars were not even mentioned.
What a shame

No, no, no, Hidalgo didn't attempt to flee into the -United States, - he retreated north towards New Spain's sparsely populated northern territories which still hadn't been invaded and stolen by the United States. Don't whitewash your country's imperialism gringo! LOL

I'm a big fan of history videos, and this one was definitely one of the best I've seen. The narration was clear and engaging, and the visuals were stunning. I highly recommend this video to anyone interested in learning more about Mexican history.

Colunbus and cortez brough much needed diversity and inclusion to the americas. It was a rqcist and xenophobic continent with way too many brown people in charge, and needed some whites and blacks in the name of equity to move in across its open border.

You forgot all of the -Natives- that numbered in the tens of thousands, gathered around Cortez to fight back against the Aztec Empire because they were being used as laborers, slaves, and human sacrifices on a regular basis.

Great video but as a Mexican I noticed mistakes:
1. -Juan o donuju signed the treaty of independence in September 27th
2. - Texas was nota country since you need a recognition but imdefacto terms it was

I need Mexican to understand that America did not steal their land because of we go that route. Mexicans stolen land from Aztecs and so on. so we are all thieves and guilt tripping is being a hypocrite.

I would not add anything before conquest to the history of Mexico. That was not Mexico. Even the times in which the land was under Spanish rule, it was not Mexico. Mexico exists since it became a nation.

You spent nearly the whole video talking about Mexico's history before independence. That's like making a -summary of World War Two- video but talking entirely about WW1 and the interwar years

History is full of nations, territories, empires, etc. allowing people to enter their borders unvetted, then being destroyed from within. Yet, certain people keep holding this idiotic view.

There is a lot of wrong information in this video that need to be corrected or verified, most of the video is dedicated to the conquest and not Mexico history as the title implies

The Aztecs didn't call themselves Aztecs. They called themselves 'the machika'. That is why it is called 'Mexico' today (a latinization of 'Machika'.

No mention of, 'human-sacrifices'. and the difference between stone-age and mechanized civilizations. Bias on the, 'woke', side.

In the first map you show you seem to be designating as New Spain the viceroyalties of New Spain, New Granada and Peru.
