Locals insisted that Columbus, an Italian by birth, was born and raised in Galicia under the name of a local lord, Pedro Álvarez de Soutomaior. Thus began an in-depth investigation into the stories swirling around Columbus six centuries after his birth.In the years since Columbus “sailed the ocean blue in 1492,” his journey a...

Ancient CivilisationsThe ConquistadorsFrom the end of the 15th century, the Conquistadors changed the face of the Americas. Invading first the Caribbean and Mexico, they then plunged on into the rest of the continent and plundered the Pacific seaboard. So what do we know of these Europeans and their quest to expand a burgeoning empire? And who were the indigenous people that resisted invasion, negotiated with strangers, and fought off barbarians?
This is a Short History of the Conquistadors.

History ShortsConversations: How much do you know about Christopher Columbus? w/ Matthew RestallPeter speaks with Matthew Resatll about his newest book, The Nine Lives of Christopher Columbus. Restall takes us beyond polemic, sifting through the evidence across nations, languages, and five centuries to explore the many questions that make up what he calls "Columbiana." He demonstrates that, far from a uniquely talented individual, Columbus was typical of the Iberian and northern Italian men of his day - a merchant mariner who became an explorer, slave-trader, and conquistador-settler. And Restall challenges the notion, deeply held to this day, that Columbus can be credited or blamed for all that happened after 1492.

New Books in Latin American StudiesMatthew Restall, “When Montezuma Met Cortés: The True Story of the Meeting that Changed History” (Ecco, 2018)On November 8, 1519, the Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortés first met Montezuma, the Aztec emperor, at the entrance to the capital city of Tenochtitlan. This introduction—the prelude to the Spanish seizure of Mexico City and to European colonization of the mainland of the Americas—has long been the symbol of Cortés’s bold and brilliant military genius. Montezuma, on the other hand, is remembered as a coward who gave away a vast empire and touched off a wave of colonial invasions across the hemisphere. But is this really what happened?
