Esta es la historia detrás de la conquista de la gran Tenochtitlán: desde el choque de culturas hasta la caída de los Aztecas. Prepárate para embarcarte en un viaje que desentraña las complejidades de la época, teje el pasado con el presente y despierta los ecos de una era que cambió el mundo para siempre. Contada como nunca antes, con datos históricos que muy pocos conocen. 'En el siglo XVI, un audaz y ambicioso grupo de exploradores europeos emprendió un viaje que cambiaría el curso de la historia. Un mundo nuevo y misterioso aguardaba más allá del océano, lleno de civilizaciones ricas en cultura y esplendor. En el corazón de este vasto continente, se erguía la majestuosa ciudad de Tenochtitlán, hogar de los Aztecas. 'Y vimos en este lago muchas ciudades y torres y edificios sobre el agua, y pensamos que eran todos casas, como los edificios de Sevilla. Y mirando un poco más a lo alto, vimos que eran todas torres de canes de una manera y de otra, y otras casas sobre el agua, y sabíamos que era la gran ciudad de Tenochtitlán.'

The Archaeopteryx: The History and Mystery Surrounding the Flying Dinosaur Genus

The massively popular 1990 novel Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton and its subsequent movie adaptations led to a huge resurgence in interest in dinosaurs and the prehistoric world. That interest continues to the present day, even though most of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park weren’t actually from the Jurassic period. Triceratops, Velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus Rex and the huge sauropods such as Brachiosaurus that feature in the book and movies all actually belong to the Late Cretaceous period, more than 40 million years after the end of the Jurassic. Regardless, certain kinds of dinosaurs remain instantly recognizable. The movie also popularized pterodactyls, and the concept of flying dinosaurs fascinates people. There is no doubt that Archaeopteryx, which lived over 150 million years ago, was one of the earliest birds or avialans (bird-like creatures), and when the first fossil of it was discovered, it was hailed as a potential missing link between dinosaurs and birds. The name Archaeopteryx comes from Greek, the word for “ancient” and the term for “wing” or “feather.” The creature is occasionally referenced by the German, “Urvogel,” which literally means “primeval bird.” From the known species of Archaeopteryx, the creature grew no longer than half a meter (20 inches), including its long, bony tail. Despite its bird-like appearance, scientists point out that the genus has far more in common with the dinosaurs of its day than with the thousands of bird species of our modern age. Over time, however, others would argue it was actually the missing link between birds and other reptiles. Meanwhile, the debate over whether it was the first avialan came and went, as it was discovered to not be the first.

[Spanish] - Primera Guerra Mundial

La Primera Guerra Mundial, también llamada la Gran Guerra, fue un conflicto militar de carácter mundial, aunque centrado en Europa, que empezó el 28 de julio de 1914 y finalizó el 11 de noviembre de 1918, cuando Alemania aceptó las condiciones del armisticio. Recibió el calificativo de «mundial» porque se vieron involucradas todas las grandes potencias industriales y militares de la época, divididas en dos alianzas.20 Por un lado, la Triple Alianza formada por las Potencias Centrales: el Imperio alemán y Austria-Hungría. Italia, que había sido miembro de la Triple Alianza junto a Alemania y Austria-Hungría, no se unió a las Potencias Centrales, pues Austria, en contra de los términos pactados, fue la nación agresora que desencadenó el conflicto. Por otro lado se encontraba la Triple Entente, formada por el Reino Unido, Francia y el Imperio ruso. Ambas alianzas sufrieron cambios y fueron varias las naciones que acabarían ingresando en las filas de uno u otro bando según avanzaba la guerra: Italia, el Imperio del Japón y Estados Unidos se unieron a la Triple Entente, mientras el Imperio otomano y el Reino de Bulgaria se unieron a las Potencias Centrales. Más de 70 millones de militares, de los cuales 60 millones eran europeos, se movilizaron y combatieron en la entonces guerra más grande de la historia.

Sherman Makes Georgia Howl: The Atlanta Campaign and Sherman’s March to the Sea

Both Grant and Sherman shared the same theory of war: anything that might help the enemy's war effort should be considered a military target. After the Atlanta campaign, Grant explained to Sherman that the Confederates must be “demoralized and left without hope,” and he instructed Sherman, “Take all provisions, forage and stock wanted for the use of your command. Such as cannot be consumed, destroy. Leave the valley so barren that crows flying over it...will have to carry their provender with them.” This strategy sought the total economic collapse of the South, as well as completely disabling the South’s capability of fielding armies. In addition to the wholesale plundering of Southern resources, including taking them from civilians, the Union reversed its policy of swapping prisoners, realizing it had a far bigger reserve of manpower than the South. The Atlanta Campaign was a perfect example of this, as both sides lost about the same number of casualties. By September 1864, however, Sherman still had about 80,000 men, while Hood’s army was reduced to about 30,000. Following the design of Grant's innovative and successful Vicksburg Campaign, Sherman's armies eliminated their need for traditional supply lines by living off the land. Ultimately, Sherman’s armies cut a path of abject destruction 60 miles wide and 300 hundred miles long from Atlanta to Savannah, which some likened to a Biblical blight. And as Sherman had intended, he did indeed made Georgia “howl.” Due in large part to the March to the Sea, Sherman remains controversial across much of the United States today. The South considered him akin to a terrorist and adamantly insisted that he was violating the norms of warfare by targeting civilians. In many ways, Sherman is still the scourge of the South nearly 160 years after he vowed to make Georgia howl.
