Is this true?

Columbuses crew was full of criminals. Explains why they chimped out in the Caribbean.

Yes this is true, but the Aztec conquest would not have been possible without the help of opposing faction between the mesoamericans tribes.

Yes, I don't have a difficult time believing that.
Men with nothing to lose and everything to gain are extremely dangerous.

Where did Cortes land in Mexico?

iir Veracruz

They wouldnt return to Spain because they first tried to get rich in Cuba/Hispaniola and then joined the first few expeditions to Mexico in search of other lands and riches.

Cortes literally died in Spain pal

Conquistadors were only a tad better then jihadis

They were mostly criminals who had the choice to die as cannon fodder in the New World or be executed.

>/r9k/, the army
They won, so they were right, but other native tribes were involved, but everybody ignores it.
That's the templar and teuton order.
