The coming of the Spaniards

When the Spaniards first set foot on the Yucatán Peninsula they found a land at war with itself. However, when the Maya perceived the threat to their world they put up a fierce resistance. Despite their efforts, superior weaponry and horses gave the Europeans victory in battle, and cruel repression and epidemics soon brought the Indians to their knees.
