AZTEC GOLD:  In 1519, the promise of Aztec gold caused the Spaniard, Hernando Cortez to lead an army of 600 men across Mexico to the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan.  The Aztec emperor, Montezuma II mistakes the invaders for the return of Quetzalcoatl, their god of wind and wisdom, and greets them with golden gifts and hospitality.  Once Cortez’s intent becomes known, years of struggle for independence ensue.
