with the experiences of the past and present wars’ veterans. War Stories II: Victory in the Pacific really caught my attention because of it being over the history of War World II and because it was written by a Vietnam war veteran and not a writer that only has history classes that serves as knowledge of war time events. The sequel to the Great War War World II brought with it many great historical victories and as many

Aztecs surrendered. Cuauhtemoc was held hostage and later killed. Spanish forces continued violence‚ killing thousands‚ even after they surrender. “As this practice was generally not done in European warfare‚ it suggests that Cortés’ Indian allies had more power over him than he suggested.” (New World Encyclopedia‚ 2013).
