I have never heard someone speak so highly of someone they intend on conquering, the way Diaz spoke about the Aztec cities he seemed so infatuated. While looking at the Aztec cities Diaz, tells us how truly incredible the Aztec cities look. While Diaz doesn’t admit that the Aztec cities are better then the European cities it seems that he thinks that based on the way he speaks about the Aztec cities.

Both the Aztecs and The Conquistadors should have been impressed with each other. The Aztecs were impressed because the Spanish had horses, guns, and metal armor the likes of which they had never seen. The Spanish were impressed with the Aztecs ability to build a incredible well functioning civilization, with cities that were more incredible then the ones they had back in Europe. Montezuma from the moment that he met Cortez and his soldiers he was extremely honorable, showing him the utmost respect.

They both seem very open minded with each other, Cortez had to get his agenda that he sailed thousands of miles to accomplish, accomplished. So Cortez begins to speak to Montezuma about Christianity very vibrantly and passionately. While it didn’t appear Cortez intend this way, it sounded extremely
