EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the pivotal moment during the Siege of Tenochtitlan in 1521, when Hernán Cortés and the Tlaxcala army, with their advanced Spanish fleet, attacked the Aztec war canoes on Lake Texcoco. The Spanish ships, with their imposing size and revolutionary technology, far outmatched the Aztec war canoes, which were manned solely by rowers and lacked the deadly weapons of guns and cannons. The Spanish invasion of Mexico, led by Cortés, had been underway for several years, and this decisive battle marked the beginning of the end for the once powerful Aztec Empire. With their superior firepower and strategic positioning, the Spanish fleet destroyed the Aztec naval forces, effectively cutting off the supply lines to Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital city. The defeat of the Aztec navy on Lake Texcoco was a turning point in the conquest of Mexico, and the Spanish forces went on to capture Tenochtitlan and establish the New Spain colony. This photograph, taken from an original print from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the encounter between the Old and New Worlds, and the profound impact of European technology on the course of history.
