U.S. History, Week 4: The Spanish in America. The story of missionaries and conquistadors and Aztec gold. I set the stage with a small clip from Werners Herzogs terrifying movie Aguirre: The Wrath of God, which shows the armored Spanish arduously trekking through towering mountains and thick jungles while ethereal music plays, emphasizing their smallness and the emptiness of their ambitions. Amazingly powerful film.
