[QUOTE="susanann, post: 20314101, member: 129786"] ..because if the Spanish never came here the Aztecs would have continued to expand their growing empire and eventually kill and enslave American indian tribes just as the Spanish did --- --- despite your thinking that the Aztecs would have all of a sudden become a nonaggressive and peaceful loving people if they were not stopped. It is too bad that Hitler, Hirohito, Ivan the Terrible, Stalin, Gengus Khan, Attilla, Ceasar, Alexander, Catherine, didnt have the same personal self control and love for their neighbors that you think Montezuma had? ... or do you also think they too would have become loving and peaceful if they were not stopped? -------------------------------------------------------------- I cannot imagine that anyone might think this guy would be a friend to the American indian and would have become sweet and non aggresive without the Spanish interceding: [img]http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/historical/montezuma/200857.1.jpg[/img] "Montezuma was the last emperor of the Aztecs in the 16th century -- right about the time that the good times were coming to an end.
