520 _a"The pleasant historie of the conquest of the VVeast India, now called new Spayne," translated by Thomas Nicholas, is a historical account written in the late 16th century. The narrative chronicles the life and exploits of the renowned conquistador Hernando Cortés as he embarks on the ambitious mission of conquering the Aztec Empire in Mexico, also referred to as New Spain. The book aims not only to recount the military and political endeavors of Cortés but also serves as a reflection on the broader implications of exploration and conquest during this era. The opening of the text introduces the author’s personal experiences and reflections while he converses with veterans of the conquests who served under Cortés. It outlines the background and motivations of Cortés, describing his journey from a young, ambitious nobleman in Spain to a significant military leader. The narrative delves into the preparations for the voyages, including the gathering of men and resources, while highlighting the hardships faced during these endeavors. There is an emphasis on the themes of bravery, ambition, and the moral implications of conquest, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of Cortés's campaigns against the indigenous peoples of the Americas.
