Hernán Cortés was a Spanish conquistador, or conqueror, best remembered for conquering the Aztec empire in 1521 and claiming Mexico for Spain. He also helped colonize Cuba and became a governor of New Spain.
"Like many explorers we know about today, Hernán (also known as Hernando) Cortés's role in the Age of Exploration was influential but controversial," said Erika Cosme, Administrative Coordinator of Education and Digital Services at The Mariner’s Museum and Park in Newport News, Virginia. "He was a smart, ambitious man who wanted to appropriate new land for the Spanish crown, convert native inhabitants to Catholicism, and plunder the lands for gold and riches."
The lasting effect of religious missionaries in Africa is that they spread Christianity. They established hospitals, clinics and offered modern medicine. They introduced European system of management and styles of dress. The Missionaries opened schools. Also training colleges too. They paved the way for the improvement of agriculture through establishing farms where new crops and better methods of farming and equipment were introduced. Furthermore, the missionaries fought slave trade. They also destroyed local industries like craft industries which were replaced with European products. Moreover, some African religions were lost to Christianity.
