    Some critics might argue that the Aztec Empire had an extensive amount of people in comparison to the few Spaniards, that the Aztecs could have developed a systematic plan to avoid Spanish conquest if they did not welcome or misbelieved the Spanish were retuning gods reclaiming their rightful empire. However, the Aztecs were still going to encounter the Spanish, as they were already settled in areas in New Hispaniola in the Gulf of Mexico. The Spanish sought to increase their chances of wealth and fortune and would try to find those riches. Also, the forced tributary system and capture of slaves as sacrifice created resentment and hatred toward the Aztec empire, which was a strategic advantage for the Spanish as they could form enemy allies…

    Taking place in the Americas and China from the 16th and 17th century, European experiences in these foreign lands greatly resembled and differed in many ways. Although one would expect the same victorious outcomes that many European groups did result in while conquering different worlds, these operative strategies did not always work for all.

While geography helped the Spaniards conquer the Incas/Aztecs militarily, geography for the Portuguese led to false assumptions…
