WI: Aztecs slaughter the Conquistadors?

[Herman Gigglethorpe]

This is a bit of an aside, but it's relevant to the topic at least.

What do y'all think of the book The Broken Spears by Miguel León-Portilla? I keep getting Goodreads recommendations for this book based on my interest in Latin American history, and it promises to reveal the Aztec account of what happened in Cortés's conquest.

The way I see it is that Cortes had one time when he would have been likely to be destroyed, and that was on La Noche Triste. Certainly there would have been another expedition sent but the Aztecs would not have made the same mistake twice. To be frank I do think that the native help would have been much less likely.
