Reminder that nahua atlatl can't melt steel armour, 1521 was an inside job.

>They fought Conqistadores in steel armor
with cannons and cavalry too

They are kinda underrated 2bh, people seem to think numbers are enough to make for all the militar disadvantages.
Otumba for example >>76557172
was the first time they faced cavalry ever, while old worlders with thousands of years of experience against it and equiped with equal technology still had outcomes like pic related.

>>76556826
The black parts are razor sharp obsidian. It won't do well against steel but it does fine with flesh.

>>76556995
With obsidian sharp edges, yeah. The bronze axes they had weren't as effective. They also used cotton based armour.

It's obvious that the Spaniards had the technological advantage.

>>76556962
Yes but like incredibly sharp ceramic knives it's brittle compared to steel and can shatter when the two meet.

>>76556995
The sides of it have obsidian making it very sharp

>>76556962
>American "education"
It doesn't matter how sharp it won't cut through a steel plate. It's brittle and will shatter it has no tensile strength. Even a steel sword as sharp as obsidian wouldn't slash through plate armour you'd just end up blunting it.

Columbus arriving in the New World is humanity's greatest catastrophe, because it lead to the native cultures (some of which were quite advanced) of an entire continent to disappear.
Let's hope this never happens again.

Wait til space travel nigga :^)

>>76558132
I wouldn't give a fuck about the native pops there, the tragedy is that it gave birth to modern new world cultures.

Where are you from exactly?

>>76558700
Family comes from Northern, Central and Southern Mexico. Hard to say exactly where since I feel attached to the three parts.

>>76557172
Imagine how crazy you gotta be to charge against an army that outnumbers you 100~200 to 1.

>>76556522
It wasn't better, but they definitely weren't at a disadvantage when it comes to tactics.

They used slings with clay balls they crafted, so the weight and size was consistent for accuracy.

Quite interesting how they adapted their tactics after Otumba. They basically managed to mantain close formations of pikes, which is the response against cavalry, but they still didn't have a way to deal with the constant cannon fire.

>"If our cavalry attempted to pursue the enemy into the water, the latter had provided against this by palisades, behind which they retired, and stretched out against them their long lances, to which they had fastened the swords we unfortunately lost on our retreat from Mexico."
(...)
>"We noted their tenacity in fighting, but I declare that I do not know how to describe it, for neither cannon nor muskets nor crossbows availed, nor hand-to-hand fighting, nor killing thirty or forty of them every time we charged, for they still fought on in as close ranks and with more energy than in the beginning."
(...)
>"In the midst of this second conflict, Alvarado Tapia and Oli, with the main body of the cavalry, made their appearance, who had been attacking the enemy at other points. The blood was trickling down Oli's face, nor had any one of them escaped without a wound. They said they had been attacked by terrific bodies of the enemy, in the open fields, and had not been able to drive them back."
