The Colony in Mexico
I would like to travel in time and go to the age of the colony in Mexico.
This time I chose is just after the conquest of Mexico, the colony, that age begun at the XVI century. The Spanish Hernán Cortés conquered Mexico and that fact give birth to a new age, we lost many natives because of the different religions, Spanish wanted them to believe in a single God, they wanted to teach about their religion, the Catholicism. Many Aztecs and many other cultures did not wanted to believe in the stranger the Spanish called God, they believed in their own gods, like the Rain God, the Thunder God, etc. The ones who did not wanted to take the Catholicism were killed. I would like to see how the cities were reconstructed in the Spanish way, also I would like to see how a culture was destroyed and a new one was born, it would be really interesting.
The colony lasted around 300 years, and in that times the Viceroys were the persons who took the control of Nueva España, they were chosen by the King of Spain and the viceroys protected the territory, they controlled the exports, they charged the taxes and many other things.
In Mexico were 63 viceroys.
I think the Colony is an interesting age; actually this one and the Conquest are the ages which changed Mexico’s history, surely we wouldn’t be equal as we are if the Spanish would not come here to make our ancestors suffer in the way they did.
I would love to see the dresses that the Spanish women used; this would the main reason why I would like to go back to Colony. The dresses were awesome! I know they may be too tight but they were beautiful, and they were so huge! On the other hand, they could not go to the bathroom [it was, and of course it is still being so nasty!].
Another thing I would love to see and of course to stay a while inside, were the carriages, I think it could be a little uncomfortable because you could get a headache or even worst you could feel really sick.
Maybe I would like to breathe the air, which was not polluted, it would be nice.
Well, maybe I am wrong about the decision I made, the Colony in Mexico is not the best place and time of world history, the did not have any type of electricity, the persons were often treated in a rude way, the natives were not having such a good time, the women [the native ones] were violated and the Spanish stole everything they could for sending it to the King, Carlos V; and they were very idiots because they let the pirates steal OUR gold and our richness, apart of wasting all the gold they could for building and creating big -huge might be a better description- churches.
However, I like the time I live, it is a good time in spite of all the world’s problems that seems to go worst in every step the human takes. I think it would be worst, like living with Hitler massacres or when the Aztecs extracted the heart of innocent persons.
