Learning Goal: You will use methods of historical inquiry to locate, gather, evaluate, and organize research materials so that you can assess various types of interactions that have occurred between Europeans and non-Europeans. You will then communicate the results using a formal argumentative essay.
In this essay you will use the knowledge you have gained in Unit 1 to examine the exchanges between two groups (one European and one non-European) at the time of initial contact.
You will be required to make an argument based on the following statement.
“Although it has often been stated that the nations of Western Europe were far superior to the rest of the world at the time of their initial contacts, this, in fact, is not true. ”
Content: In your essay you will have to argue that this statement is true or false. Use the period of approximately 1492 - 1650 as the time frame for your argument. Pick two groups to compare, one European and one non-European, which came into contact with eacii other in this time period (Examples could include: Portugal and South Eastern Africa, Spain and the Aztecs, French and the Huron, the English and the Beothuk). Compare them based on *5 criteria that you would use to judge a “superior” society (Examples: technology, government, human rights, social organization, political organization, religion and philosophy, efc).Remain source for this essay should be your textbook but you are expected to use at least one other good source.
Format: Your essay should include an introductory parapragh, 3 body paragraphs and a concluding paragraph.
The introduction should include the following:
- an introductory sentence that introduces the overall topic. *
sentences that outline the 3 areas you have chosen to use for your comparisons and should be put in the order that you will be using in your essay.
- the thesis of your essay (this should be the final sentence in your introduction) The body paragraphs in your essay should include the following:
topic sentence
supporting points (facts and explanation outlining the argument) concluding sentence that ties this argument back into the thesis The conclusion should include the following;
re-stated thesis (first sentence in the conclusion) brief summary of 3 arguments
- concluding sentence that is a general thought on the topic and/or a thought provoking statement.
Remember to use proper spelling and grammar throughout your essay. Proper endnoting and bibliography should be used (see the Endnoting and Bibliography handout.)Evaluation: See the attached rubric.

SPANISH AND THE AZTECS

‘Although it has often been stated that the nations of Western Europe were far superior to the rest of the world at the time of their initial contacts, this is not true.”
Contrary to this statement, the nations of Western Europe were far much superior to the rest of the world at the time of the first contact. This statement is true, and it is backed by the Europeans conquest of the world and how it shaped the modern political organization of countries. Western Europe nearly colonized the whole world by making the natives subservient to their rule. Europeans first contact with native people of other civilizations was relatively easier given that they had superior firepower and better experiences with war. Historically, Europe has always been embroiled in war, and they had advanced warring technology and experience than many other civilizations they encountered. Their conquests were not entirely easy, and in some cases, the Europeans lost some battles, but eventually, the natives were subdued. This can be attested to the Spanish conquest with the Aztecs in Mexico.
The Aztecs had inhabited mainland Mexico as the natives before the European forces set foot in their coasts. In the neighboring Caribbean Islands, the Spanish had established a dominant rule and acted as offshore territories of Spain. Notably, Cuba was occupied by Spanish under the leadership of Velázquez who sent out a team of conquistadors under Hernan Cortés to expedite in the West. At the time of departure from Cuba, Cortés has strained his relationship with Velázquez, and that possibly prompted him to conquer rather than ‘to explore, trade, and search for Christian captives.’ Cortés quickly formed strategic alliances with other native tribes in Mexico with the help of Malinche and Gerenimo de Aguillar as his translators. Malinche was a native woman who she had ‘won’ after a battle with the Maya people. Cortés went on to capture the Aztec capital Tenochtitlán. Cortés briefly left Tenochtitlán to fight Panfilo de Narvez who had sent by Velázquez to kill or capture him. The Aztec people united and forced the Spanish from their capital Tenochtitlán. The Aztec with their relatively inferior experience in war managed to drive out the Spanish from the city and install Montezuma ’s brother as the king after Montezuma was killed. When Cortés returned to the city, he put it under siege until it surrendered three months later. Cortés went on to rule the empire after building his capital on the ruins of Tenoch...
