The article Burying the White Gods: New Perspective on the Conquest of Mexico by CamillaTownsend1 is significantly different from Judge and Langdon2's World History textbook account of the Spanish invasion of the Aztecs. The content and style of the textbook differs from the article in that the article demonstrates that some things within the textbook are not viable, such as: The Aztecs saw the Spanish as Gods, Cortes received gifts from Montezuma because he was considered a divine being, the main factors of During the Spanish invasion the Aztecs were distracted by the legend of Quetzalcoatl and that technology was not decisive. The article deviates from this point of view as it states that the Spaniards were not perceived as gods, Cortes in his letters also never wrote of himself as a divine being, the legend of Quetzalcoatl had nothing to do with the fall of the Aztecs and that technology was the main and most important factor. In Judge and Langdon's textbook, World History, the authors assume that the Spanish were presented as Gods. The textbook attempts to provide a more generalized look at what happened during the Spanish invasion. The article is more specific in explaining whether the Spanish were thought to be gods or not, and attempts to prove that it was a myth. The textbook states, “At this point the ruling elite began to consider the possibility that these people, or at least their leaders, might be gods.”3 From this, the textbook begins to describe that the Spanish were seen as gods by the Aztec people. ItSangha 2 goes on to explain the story of Quetzalcoatl: “Aztec legend stated that the Toltec god-king Quetzalcoatl, expelled from Tula, had vowed to return… middle of paper… to the textbook, the Aztecs believed that the Spaniards were considered gods, the article completely disagreed with this. The article also contrasts with the textbook in the perspective that Montezuma gave to Cortesgifts, but Quetzalcoatl was not worshiped in the great city of Mexico so it does not seem legitimate. However, the textbook also states that Cortes was treated as divine; Cortes never writes in his letters that he is considered a divine being. The textbook stated that the main factor in the Spanish invasion was the Aztecs' confusion and distraction from the legend of Quetzalcoatl, and that technology was not decisive. The article, however, deviates from this point of view and believes that the legend of Quetzalcoatl had nothing to do with the fall of the Aztecs, and that technology was the main and most important factor..
