Perhaps where it says a great many people died, it could be elaborated on? It is quite the event. I think Jefferey Diamond or Matthew Restalls books will have a good account of this.

Well, I guess someone should add some information about the Spanish atrocities which followed the conquest. Asharidu

[edit] Independent Native Mesoamerican State

The article ends with " Mesoamerica was not to see another independent native state for over a hundred years." What independent native state would that be? Could whoever wrote that please elaborate or at least clarify that statement? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.71.231.180 (talk) 14:44, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
