English | Documentary | Size: 1.24 GB
Light is being shed on the harsh truths of Europe’s most dramatic expansion from 1492 after Colombus landed in the Caribbean. “Conquistadors: The Rise and Fall” is a gripping documentary series that delves into the fascinating and murky story of the Spanish Empire’s conquest of the New World. The series takes an unprecedented look into the brutal legend of the Spanish Conquistadors and uncovers the truth of this dark chapter in human history. We delve deeper into the Spanish Empire’s conquests over the Aztec and Inca and their search for vast treasures and fabled golden cities.
Beginning with the accidental discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus which ignited an era of exploration for the Spanish empire and marked a turning point in world history. Upon Columbus’ return voyage to the Americas, he discovers that the Spanish left behind at Hispaniola had been killed by the indigenous Taino, sparking a brutal chain of colonisation throughout the Caribbean. What follows is the ruthless ambition of Hernan Cortes, who travelled deep into the Mexican interior to conquer one of the great empires in the Americas: the Aztecs. His victory cemented the subjugation and submersion of indigenous populations.
Following Cortes’ success, the series explores the conquest of the largest civilization in the Americas: the Incas, led by the Conquistador Francisco Pizarro. As Spanish colonies continued to grow throughout the Americas, the Spanish monarchy struggled to control the guardians of “New Spain” from afar. The discovery of a vast silver mine in Bolivia provided unlimited wealth, but also heightened tensions with the Conquistadors growing in strength and ambivalence to the Spanish monarchy.
Finally, the series examines the creation of the “Black Legend” and the fall of the Conquistadors as other European rulers propagated an anti-Spanish narrative due to Spain’s wealth and violent practices in the Americas. The end of the era of Conquistadors was heralded, and millions of lives were obliterated for what would be the birth of a New World.
