Introduction
Unit 2 continues to build on the changing worldview and ideologies of Europe. This is done through the lens of the Spanish and their interactions with the Aztecs. We learn about the lives and societies of the Aztecs and the surrounding area. Students will also discover how the imperialistic worldview changed the course of development in South America, with the rise and fall of the Aztec empire.
"This unit helps you investigate these questions.
In what ways did intercultural contact between the Aztecs and Spanish affect each society's worldview?
Did their different worldviews mean that conflict was inevitable between the Aztecs and the Spanish?
What factors contributed to the dominance of the Spanish over the Aztecs?
To what extent does present-day Mexico reflect the experience of Spanish-Aztec contact?"
