Conquistadors

Just who were the conquistadors? And why were they so determined to claim all that land for Spain? In this educational, animated BrainPOP UK movie, Tim and Moby will answer these questions and introduce you to some of the men who destroyed ancient cultures in the name of gold, glory, and God. You'll discover how a small number of Spanish adventurers were able to eradicate the majestic Inca, Maya, and Aztec civilisations off the face of the map. You'll learn about the decisive roles that armour, horses, and guns played in the conquistadors' victories and the terrible toll that their adventures took on the indigenous peoples of the Americas. Finally find out how the age of conquest ended at last. So grab your arquebus, mount your noble steed, and claim this movie in the name of Spain!
