Hernán Cortés was a Spanish conqueror born in 1485 in Medellín, Spain who studied briefly at the University of Salamanca before traveling to what is now the Caribbean and Mexico. In 1519, Cortés sailed from Cuba to the coast of Mexico with 11 ships, 600 men, horses, and artillery. He founded the city of Villa Rica de la Veracruz and allied with local indigenous groups to help conquer the powerful Aztec Empire. Cortés marched on the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, where the emperor Moctezuma initially welcomed him but tensions later rose between the Spanish and Aztecs.

What is history
Charles I (Charlemagne) was crowned emperor in 800 by the pope, inheriting the Roman Empire through a line from Augustus and Constantine. His empire was vast and sprawling, rather than a single unit, with no fixed capital. Like other great empires of the time, Charlemagne claimed universality and cosmopolitanism. In the early 15th century, Portuguese voyages down the west coast of Africa, sponsored by Prince Henry, began changing visions of the world and eventually led to encounters with America and the slave trade. The Spanish Empire of Charles V was seen as both Roman and Holy, with Christianity accompanying European colonial expansion for centuries.

In the early 15th century, Portuguese voyages down the west coast of Africa, sponsored by Prince Henry, began changing visions of the world and eventually led to direct trade routes to Asia and the slave trade.

Peoples and empires #2
Charles V attempted to redefine the Holy Roman Empire as a universal entity controlling many countries across the world through imperial public law, though they had no common legal system, administration, or language. Early maps of the Earth were crude but Prince Henry of Portugal explored Africa for trade, proving oceans navigable. Missionaries spread Christianity with European empires for conquest, settlement, and trade, with some like Montesinos criticizing the mistreatment of native peoples.
Greek entrepreneur
Thales was an ancient Greek philosopher who engaged in entrepreneurship by using his meteorology skills to forecast weather and invest in olive presses. Later, Greeks engaged in economic activity through local and long distance trade, producing and exchanging goods. Aristotle Onassis became a prominent shipping magnate in the 20th century, amassing the world's largest privately owned shipping fleet through innovative financing techniques and operating internationally to avoid taxes. He expanded his business interests into luxury activities like yachting and island resorts.
Aztecs empire
The ancestors of the Aztecs received a divine command to leave their homeland of Aztlan in 1116 AD and wandered for over 100 years before reaching Lake Texcoco. From modest beginnings in the swamps around the lake, the Aztec city-state of Tenochtitlan grew in size and power through alliances and warfare. After floods and famines in the mid-1400s, Montezuma I expanded the empire outside the valley. When the Spanish arrived in 1519, over 300,000 people lived in the great city of Tenochtitlan, which was larger and more prosperous than Seville.

Hernan Cortes y la conquista de Mexico
Hernán Cortés conquered the Aztec Empire in the 1520s. As an ambitious conquistador, he defied orders from the Governor of Cuba, Diego Velázquez, by destroying his ships and allying with weaker indigenous groups like the Tlaxcalans against the powerful Aztec Empire. Through the help of an indigenous translator named Malinche and by taking advantage of an Aztec prophecy, Cortés was able to convince the Aztec ruler Montezuma that he was the returned god Quetzalcoatl and seize control of the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan. Smallpox then ravaged the population, aiding the Spanish conquest. However, Cortés was later called to

Charles V believed he had inherited power directly from ancient Roman emperors like Augustus and Constantine down to Charlemagne.

Other states also traced their power back to Rome, including the Ottomans and Muslim rivals of Charles V. Explorers were discovering that ancient maps of places like Asia and the yet-to-be discovered Americas were often wrong, and conquering the oceans would be key to unlocking knowledge of unknown lands like those reached by Portuguese explorer Prince Henry.

James Chadwick
James Chadwick was a British physicist born in England. He studied under Ernest Rutherford and worked with him on experiments involving radioactive substances. This led Chadwick to continue Rutherford's idea that there were neutral particles in the nucleus of an atom. Through his own experiment in 1932, Chadwick was able to prove the existence of the neutron. He called these neutral particles "neutrons" and showed they have about the same mass as a proton but no electric charge. This discovery of the neutron was fundamental to modern physics and earned Chadwick the 1935 Nobel Prize in Physics.
