ie, Mexico from Cuba. The Aztec emperor, Moctezuma (r. 1502-1520), was alarmed by the approach of this army and its unknown weapons\u2014war dogs, horses, muskets and cannons. He invited Cort\u00e9s and his men into his capital, Tenochtitlan. The city, which was built on an island in the middle of a lake, was magnificent beyond anything the Spaniards had ever seen.<\/p>\n

The architecture was as stunning as it was colorful, and the immense wealth of the empire was plain to be seen. \u201cThese great towns and pyramids and buildings arising from the water, all made of stone, seemed like an enchanted vision,\u201d wrote Bernal Diaz del Castillo (c. 1492-1584), who served under Cort\u00e9s. \u201cSome of our soldiers asked whether it was not all a dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conquistadors\u2019 dream quickly turned into a nightmare for the Aztecs. The Spaniards took Moctezuma prisoner, besieged his great city, and after months of fighting reduced it to rubble, killing thousands of Aztecs in the process. Thousands more were beginning to die of the diseases that the Europeans had brought over from the Old World. Imported pathogens\u2014smallpox, measles and typhus, but also relatively mild conditions such as chickenpox and whooping cough\u2014combined to devastate the inhabitants of the New World, who had no immunity against these foreign diseases.<\/p>\n

Deadly epidemics followed wherever Europeans came into contact with native peoples, and the pattern of pandemic was repeated when the conquistadors invaded the Inca Empire in Peru in 1532. Disease made the conquerors\u2019 job easy, and by the mid- 16th century almost all of South America had become a large and lucrative Spanish possession (the region that became Brazil had been awarded to Portugal in 1494 in the Treaty of Tordesillas).<\/p>\n

Spain was intent on settling all the land where the Spanish flag was planted, and the business of colonizing was seen as an important operation. As the Spanish historian Francisco L6pez de Gomara (c. 1511-1566) put it, \u201cWithout settlement there is no good conquest, and if the land is not conquered, the people will not be converted.<\/p>\n
