    Otumba
    Jul 7 2025
    On this episode of *Dave Does History*, we’re heading back to the summer of 1520, deep into the heart of Mesoamerica, where a broken band of Spanish conquistadors found themselves surrounded by thousands of Aztec warriors on the dusty plains of Otumba. Hernán Cortés was battered, outnumbered, and on the brink of ruin. What happened next wasn’t a miracle—it was desperation, steel nerves, and a reckless cavalry charge that changed history. Today, we’ll dive into the truth behind the Battle of Otumba, cut through the myths of Spanish superiority, and explore how the conquest of the Aztecs nearly ended before it began. This isn’t your high school textbook version. This is a story of betrayal, blood, and blind luck, and it just might change the way you see the so-called conquest of the New World. Buckle up. Cortés is cornered, and the empire is on the line.

    So, was John Paul Jones a hero made by war, or was the war at sea made by Jones? The final judgment, as ever, lies with history. And Jones, more than most, knew where history gets written. Not in marble halls or courtroom ledgers, but on the open water, where wind and gunpowder do the talking, and names are carved into memory by the pounding of the sea. John Paul Jones carved his. And it hasn’t washed away.

    In the summer of 1775, a strange kind of tension blanketed the American colonies. Blood had already been spilled at Lexington and Concord. Boston was under siege. The Continental Congress had raised an army and chosen George Washington to lead it. But amid the smoke and gunpowder, there was still something deeper smoldering. Hope. Not for victory, not for revolution, but for peace. A very specific kind of peace. The colonists still believed in the idea of a “Patriot King,” a benevolent monarch who would rise above Parliament’s tyranny and deliver justice from on high. That king, they hoped, was George III.
