how purely brutal the Spanish really were to indigenous pop's


Let's not get to romanticizing the Aztecs. They were a horrible "civilization".

Yep. They wrote about 4 inches of dried blood were built up on an alter after a day of sacraficing.

Another fun fact, the South American countries still haven't forgiven Spain yet. I had a friend in spain and he said he said he wouldn't tell South Americans were he was from because they wouldn't deal with a "imperialist conquistador". He was actually from the really small town Cortez was born in and he definitly wouldn't tell them that.
