Один день из жизни конкистадора Эрнана Кортеса

500 Spanish conquistadors against the 5 million-strong Aztec Empire. This isn't a screenwriter's fantasy—it's the true story of Hernán Cortés, a fugitive notary who burned his ships and marched into the heart of the enemy. This video depicts a day in the life of a conquistador. Mud, jungle, fever, worm-infested crackers, and leather belts instead of food. Iron, greed, the steel of Toledo swords and arquebuses against obsidian macuautls. The massacre at Cholula, the assault on Tlaxcala, the burning of 13 ships in Veracruz Bay. And no turning back. Why did 500 men destroy an empire? How did Spanish discipline work in the jungle? Why did Cortés execute his own warriors? And what did the soldier feel when he realized: gold or death? Watch until the end. This is a story of madness, steel, blood, and an empire broken by 500 thugs with iron and a belief in their own righteousness.
