"Historia de la Conquista de Mexico, Volume 2 (of 3)" by Antonio de Solís is a historical account written in the early 18th century. This volume continues to detail the events surrounding the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, focusing on the actions of Hernán Cortés and his interactions with various indigenous peoples, particularly the Mexica and Tlascaltécas. The book provides an in-depth look at the complex relationships, political maneuverings, and the consequences of the conquest on the indigenous cultures of the time. The beginning of this volume opens with the return of two Spanish envoys from Cortés to Spain, highlighting the challenges they faced, including conflicts with Diego Velazquez's factions and the intricate political landscape of the Spanish court. The narrative progresses to detail Hernán Cortés's strategic decisions as he navigates alliances with native tribes, particularly the Tlascaltecas, against the backdrop of Motezuma's growing unease. As liaisons both seek to reinforce their positions, the text translates this fraught atmosphere into actions that would lead to bloody confrontations and betrayals, setting the stage for the significant events to follow in the quest for power and dominance in the New World.
