Hernán Cortés was the Aztec Conquistador who brought Christianity to South America.
He saw that the Aztecs were a great Civilization with completely horrendous ritualistic values. Sacrificing Virgins and children by beheading them atop their pyramids.
This method of killing innocent people was not his way of giving to God, so he weighed his actions and decided to conquer them, yet keeping most of their traditions and values.
Today, South America and even North America are what they are today because of the actions of Cortés in the past.

EXCERPT AND LINK FROM ENCHANTED LEARNING: “Cortes sailed with 11 ships from Cuba to the Yucatan Peninsula to look for gold, silver, and other treasures. Hearing rumors of great riches, Cortés traveled inland and "discovered" Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec empire. He then brutally killed the Aztec emperor Montezuma and conquered his Aztec Empire of Mexico, claiming all of Mexico for Spain in 1521. Treasures from the Aztecs were brought to Spain, and Cortés was a hero in his homeland. Cortés was appointed governor of the colony of New Spain, but eventually fell out of favor with the royals. He then returned to Spain where he died a few years later.” - CLICK LINK FOR MORE SOURCES |
