In 2019 Planeta.com began to spotlights the 500th anniversary of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, following the timeline of the expedition led by Hernán Cortés.

Updates to include links to headlines and features, videos and presentations, and virtual tours. A special shoutout to Colibri winner Marlene Ehrenberg Enríquez who pioneered her Ruta de Cortés.

It’s a great pleasure to announce the arrival of #CollisionofWorlds out through @OUP_press. My aim was to provide a novel take on the invasion of Mesoamerica and creation of New Spain through a transatlantic, long-term perspective emphasizing material culture. 1/9 pic.twitter.com/duouE9ASZT
