Had one for the first time since I was like… 14? I’m 41. Drank it down. Started great. I’ve never felt so sick after something. Apparently I’m too old for this. I miss being a kid.

The natives knew that.
But there was basically nothing they could do. The pox depopulated the continent so fast that the white colonists often encountered only remnants of destroyed civilizations wherever they arrived.

Imagine the Europeans met a significantly further developed native civilisation … Like steam engine level. That would have been interesting.

The Europeans didn’t have the man power to defeat the Aztec Empire that fast but as an empire, the Aztecs made enemies and all these enemies united with the Europeans to defeat their common enemy, not knowing what would come next. Similar stories in north America with some first nations allying with the Europeans against their old enemies.
