“The 'History of the World' is referenced as part of the legal document that Spanish captains were required to read to the natives.”
Sentiment: Critical Analysis
Trigger: Spanish conquest of Aztecs
For: Historians and students of colonial history
Key quote: “the requirement it's called, isn't it? Yeah. The requirements. Recremiento.”

This requirement, which mandated reading a legal document in Spanish, underscores the absurdity and moral implications of their actions during the conquest.
