Question

What cultural clashes happened at the arrival of Cortes in the Americas in 1519, and what differences did these cultures have from one another?

Answer 1

For example, in the Tenochlitan (Modern Day Mexico City) it was common for the Aztecs to bathe 3 times a day, while the Spanish showered very rarely and used to dump buckets full of their waste out the window.

Answer 2

bathe 3 times a day? Spanish ppl viewed them as demonic folks and the Aztecs started to mistaking the Spanish for gods.

Answer 3

Yeah, the Aztecs never had much facial hair, they had clean roads, which is why when the conflict started, diseases ended up wiping a lot of the warriors.

Answer 4
