This volume continues the systematic collection of voyages and travels, focusing specifically on the rich narrative of the Spanish conquest, including detailed descriptions of significant events such as the discovery of Mexico and Peru. The work seeks to give readers not only a history of exploration and commerce but also insights into the cultural encounters that transformed these regions. The opening of the volume introduces the historical context of the Spanish expedition led by Hernán Cortés to conquer the Mexican Empire. It describes the initial march towards Mexico and the precarious relationships with indigenous groups, detailing the military strategies, severe battles, and negotiations that took place during this period. As the Spaniards contended with distrust from the Tlaxcalans and encountered fierce resistance from the Mexicans, the narrative highlights both the bravery and treachery involved in these early interactions, setting the stage for the complex dynamics of conquest and cultural exchange in the New World. The historical figures of Cortés and various indigenous leaders emerge as pivotal players in the unfolding drama of ambition, conflict, and survival.
