The paper relates that the reality of Cortez's mission becomes clear when the Aztecs are seen in chains at the massacre at the Fiesta and the murder of their leaders in the "Fate of the Wisemen of Ehecatl" (24). Also, the paper looks at how the descriptions of the disease and famine caused by the Spanish against the Aztecs is defined (20), revealing the grim details of the genocide being committed against them.
