Not only Cortes:
"During the siege of Cuzco, Francisco Pizarro had 200 Spaniards and 30,000 native Huancas, Cañaris and Chachapoyas."

"Cortés put Alvarado in command of 30 horsemen, 18 arbalesters and arquebusiers, 150 Spanish foot soldiers, and 8,000 Tlaxcalan allies, and sent him, accompanied by his brother Jorge de Alvarado, Gutierrez de Badajoz, and Andrés de Monjaraz, to secure Tacuba."

Wow, why do they teach in school that only a couple hundred spanish conquered all?

I don't have the book with me, but in the beginning stages of the siege of Tenochitlan they mostly used the natives to repair the causeways and shit. They actually deserted them and for a while it was just the conquistadors holding off the mexica. The conquistadors held their own.

Yes. Just later. Maybe on the fourth expedition after their diseases caused enough destruction

>>3258372

>Cortés & co
