But the arrival of the Spanish changed everything. Imperialism and the Origins of Mexican Culture chronicles this violent clash of two empires and shows how modern Mestizo culture evolved over the centuries as a synthesis of Old and New World civilizations.Colin MacLachlan begins by tracing Spain and Mesoamericas parallel trajectories from tribal enclaves to complex feudal societies. When the Spanish laid siege to Tenochtitlán and destroyed it in 1521, the Aztecs could only interpret this catastrophe in cosmic terms. With their gods discredited and their population ravaged by epidemics, they succumbed quickly to Spanish controlwhich meant submitting to Christianity. Spain had just emerged from its centuries-long struggle against the Moors, and zealous Christianity was central to its imperial vision. But Spains conquistadors far outnumbered its missionaries, and the Churchs decision to exclude Indian converts from priesthood proved shortsighted. Native religious practices persisted, and a richly blended culturepart Indian, part Christianbegan to emerge.The religious void left in the wake of Spains conquests had enduring consequences.
