Conquista de Guatemala - Caída del Último Reino Maya

The Conquest of Guatemala was a long, violent, and complex campaign. It wasn't resolved in a single battle, nor in a single year… It was nearly two centuries of wars, rebellions, broken alliances, and entire peoples resisting. In this 10-part documentary series, we narrate with historical rigor and visual depth how the Spanish conquistadors subdued—one by one—the Mayan kingdoms of Guatemala. From the fall of the K'iche' in Q'umarkaj to the final capture of Nojpetén in 1697, this is the true story of how the last Mayan stronghold was extinguished. What will you see in this documentary? • The beginning of the advance into Central America • The war against the K'iche' and the alliance with the Kaqchikel • The indigenous rebellion and the birth of colonial cities • The conquest of Zaculeu, Mixco Viejo, and the Pacific coast • The failed campaigns in Verapaz and forced evangelization • The final siege of Nojpetén, the last independent kingdom • And an epilogue that recalls what remained… behind the sword
