This volume begins on the cusp of the Spanish conquest of Mexico and delves into a critical period of Mexican history marked by the arrival of Spanish explorers and the ensuing conflict with indigenous civilizations. Bancroft aims to explore how these events shaped the trajectory of Mexico's societal and cultural development within the context of European colonization. The opening of the text sets the stage by addressing the preservation of historical records and the author's extensive research efforts. Bancroft highlights the significance of Mexico as a historical subject, characterized by its complex societal structures, cultural richness, and the harshness of colonial imposition. The preface describes the dramatic contrasts of the period, including the cruel realities of conquest led by Hernán Cortés and the remnants of indigenous culture that faced oppression. As it establishes foundational ideas, the beginning promises a comprehensive exploration of the political and cultural intersections that defined early modern Mexico.
