]]> A 7-minute video in which the figure of Hernán Cortés and the Conquest of Mexico are briefly analysed. It is essential to revisit the events that ancient chronicles have left us. What happened between 1519 and the fall of the Mexica Empire constitutes the first Hispanic continental advance in the New World. These events have lent themselves to various mythologies that present the Spaniards as a sort of supermen in shining armour, but also as a predatory band that wiped out an arcadian world. Iván Vélez, with great acuity and critical sense, analyses the complex warlike, juridical, economic and religious aspects that accompanied the conquest, but also the political order that succeeded it. A raw, exciting and extraordinary story about one of the greatest adventures the world has ever seen.

]]> Historical series that narrates the conquest of Mexico by Hernán Cortés, from a non-hagiographic perspective. The historical reconstruction is good, but the continuous jumps in time in the script make it difficult for viewers who do not know the history of the conquest to understand the events. Óscar Jaenada’s performance triggered very conflicting opinions. At the beginning of 2021, only one season has been broadcast, consisting of 8 episodes. There will be a second one, which is pending broadcast.
