You're kidnapped by aliens and taught the Nahua language. The aliens use a time machine to send you back to the Aztec empire one month before Spanish conquistadors arrive, and order you to help defend to the Aztecs.

You are not allowed to bring any weapons, equipment or tools with you and arrive only with your bare hands and knowledge of weapons and chemistry.

If you fail, the aliens will do experiments on you and transplant your genitals onto your face.

What kind of weapons can you instruct the Aztecs to make?
>>
>>62103173
Nothing, just advise them that those weird men don't engage in Flower Wars bullshit and that they should just bumrush them with sheer numbers.
>>
>>62103173
The Aztecs would not trust you without a show of force, and one month is too little time. The main problem with the Americas is that they were their isolation. The only serious European colony was the Nordic one in Canada that failed. They needed that one or something by the Asians to last long enough to introduce horses and horse technology to the new world. Horses were probably the single biggest advantage they had over the Aztecs.
>>
I'm a dickface then. The aztecs should've genocided the smaller tribes they pissed off but that leaves them without a source for sacrifices. No way they're learning iron work in such a short time and even if they do there's no way they're getting enough to equip their whole army. Also disease wise is just keel over and die no way you're explaining germ theory and some how making gilligans island tier hazmat suits in time to fight.

You don't need iron or even any metal to make rockets or crossbows. You can make croasbows and gunpowder weapons like rockets with stone age technology.

Do I just have to beat Cortez? That should be easy enough because we can just ambush him as he enters the city. Gonna suck to kill Bernal Diaz del Castillo because he was a cool and funny dude, but I'm sure he'd understand my predicament.
That said, if I have to beat back the Spanish Empire as a whole then I give up. That's an impossible task.

Horse were a big thing but its not like boats and firearms didn't fucking help.
>>
>>62103540
Cortez didn't have that many guns. It was steel, horses, and allies that defeated the Aztecs.
>>
>>62103552
Cortez didn't have that many horses either. He had 18 cannons which mostly had to be towed by hand, because he lacked horses.
He had guns, arquebuses to be precise, but they weren't decisive because battles weren't ordered. Grapeshots from the cannons were much better.
Cortez additionally brought wardogs, which apparently the Aztecs were fucking terrified of, and crossbows, which were about as useful as the arquebuses.
All of this, plus proper use of allies and European tactics insured he wrecked the Aztecs.
>>
>>62103552
Mainly the allies.
>>
>>62103647
Really, it was just Cortez having enough strength to convince all the tribes that hated the aztecs (all of them). Something that's unjustly glossed over.
>>
>>62103540
>its not like boats and firearms didn't fucking help
Horses are what allows large empires to exist in the first place. They have been the backbone of the entirety of civilization in the Old World's. You take them for granted because your society has always had horses. If horses had been the only advantage the Spaniards had over the Aztecs, they still would have won. Just look at what the Comanche, who were significantly less advanced than the surrounding tribes, were able to accomplish with just horses.
>>
>>62103173
They were savages, and they would almost certainly sacrifice me to their savage gods without heeding my warnings. The world is better off without them; one thing the Spaniards did right.
So I'd spend the month camped out in the forest stealing some of their women and waiting for the Spaniards to arrive and save me

Not really. While most regard steel weaponry and cavalry as the reason for the Spaniards' victory it's only half true. As regarded by most historians, the biggest advantages were the other Indians and the pests that were propped up by the conquistadors.

Equus the genus is from North America. Ideally you'd go way back in time and stop the natives from killing off the megafauna that had serious domestication potential: several species of proboscids, cattle, camels and horses. They had the whole package of Eurasian draught and transport domesticates handed to them on a platter, and they behaved as one does at a buffet.

What you'd have to do is win and then intentionally let everyone get infected.

In all fairness, that is a very understandable reaction to one. Of all the new weapons the Spaniards brought with them, that is the one that would produce the most visceral reaction of fear. Dogs are more of a psychological weapon than a physical one, in the sense that they aren't really more dangerous than a man, but they are super intimidating.

I do even cooler tricks for that guy until he thinks i'm all-powerful and then I convince him to exterminate the Tlaxcalans *IMMEDIATELY*. Fuck the Flower Wars. Fuck capturing people for sacrifice. The only reason the Spanish won was because the Tlaxcalans hated the Mexica with every fibre of their being after decades upon decades of oppression. Makes Cortez easy to defeat in detail because he's enough of a dumbass to burn his own fleet at Veracruz long before making any headway in to the Mexica Empire proper.

Leverage my DnD playing days to convince them I am a for real oracle of the gods. Teach them to make face masks and put them on the sick to prevent spread of disease, tell them their human sacrifices are appreciated but right now a new age is coming, and they must patch up relationships with surrounding tribes to push back the coming barbarians. Teach them basic asymmetrical warfare, then dip for Perú.

You are seriously underestimating south American indigenous cultures anon, they had trade networks extending from the south of Argentina all the way up to the Mississippi River with Romanesque rest stops and supply depots along the way. It's important to note that when the Spainoids arrived their culture was in a low point already, and if they hadn't arrived there almost certainly would have been an uprising from all those other tribes regardless. This combined with the basic metalworking found in North America being given the time to mature into full iron exploitation and I think we would have seen a massive change in native American/south American culture within the next hundred years or less, if they had time to get a new government under control I don't doubt that they could have repelled the initial Spanish conquistadors, making it seem like too much effort to send their entire military all the way there to conquer and thus found themselves in a favorable position to enter trade with Europe and accelerate their own development by a ton akin to how Japan managed to avoid colonization by being juuust enough of a tough meal to chew on for the Euros to be worth the effort.

The main problem for the Aztecs is that they expected to have some kind of trade relationship with Spain, and that's what they thought the Spaniards came to do. At worst, they might be required to pay a tribute. They had no idea that the goal of the conquistadors was to essentially end their way of life. The only way to win is to convey this not just to the Aztecs, but to their other two adversaries/cooperators. Introducing the concept of total war to them would certainly turn the tide.

>What kind of weapons can you instruct the Aztecs to make?
I am a history nerd and once made a geology map of south/latin American natural resources.
I also make early modern guns and slings as a hobby. If I had a few decades maybe I could teach them to make matchlocks, basic cannons, or some metallurgy in making alloys. If inspire infrastructure around making that shit that might help but I doubt they would.
I never made iron/steel from scratch. Only blackpowder, lead shot, and bronze. Bronze guns, ceramic grenades, use of lime powder to bind people, maybe even the principals of citadel forts.
The more I think, the more I believe that citadel forts, long term food storage, germ theory (or avoidance of westerners) and unification under common defense are what they need, not weapons since as the first anon said, they have the numbers.

One month isn't nearly enough time to build weapons that matter, so a change in doctrine is all that can be done. In any case, basic OPSEC would ensure that one of the numerous traps the Aztecs set would actually happen, guaranteeing the capture and probable execution of the conquistador force.
That probably won't stop the second or third or fourth expedition though, so if the initial victory over Cortez gives me any political influence, I would use it to ensure as many as possible of the captives are recruited, probably through the application of lotsa gold, to become technical experts, troop trainers, and shock infantry. Gradually, this foreign force would create a blended Castillian-Nahua culture that would contest the Gulf of Mexico with the European empires
>>
>>62104255
There were 20 million people in Mesoamerica and 95% of them died within 100 years of Cortez. The interesting part is that the population didn't recover to that level until the 1900s, when industrial agriculture became possible. Therefore, if the Aztec infrastructure (social and otherwise) was intact instead of ripped apart, then their population would have recovered very rapidly, taking perhaps 4 generations instead of 20

Where? Iron smelting requires a TON of lumber and iron, which necessarily means a big population that is either centralized in a city or integrated through extensive trade routes. North America had neither of these, as the geography of the continent meant one of two things:
1. The good land was geographically indefensible from migration waves or
2. The defensible land was extremely vulnerable to climate shifts and drought
Ergo, no long-term stability that allows for urbanization or intensive trade infrastructure

As soon as I arrive I find civilization and demand an audience with King Moctezuma II. The fact that I speak perfect Nahuatl despite my peculiar appearance and very large penis of North European descent (I did arrive naked, after all) guarantees them to at least humor me. Once in contact with their king I do a well-timed performance in accordance with an eclipse that I have looked up the times of prior to arriving, convincing him that I am a divine being with godlike powers. I tell him of the coming invasion and that they stand no chance without my help.
During the week that follows I show basic metallurgy to the best of my ability to their blacksmiths; I took AP chem in high school, and while it may not be much it's certainly better than their obsidian rock weapons. I also start building structure within their military ranks by teaching how to move as a phalanx unit and fight in formations.
Once production of weapons is properly established and training is underway we start building fortifications around Tenochtitlan. Making firearms may require a bit more than a month, but stationary bombs detonated in the field is a lot easier. We place these at key points and devise strategies to lure invaders close to choke points.
Women and children are taught to weave body armor from finely cut mahogany strips. Nothing in comparison to proper steel armor, but it does give the Jaguar warriors a fighting chance to survive grapeshot and other round projectiles.
When the Spaniards arrive the battle is on. Seeing how I have no clue about any of this the Aztecs get utterly steamrolled due to their subpar and misguided battle preparations, and I quickly disappear in the midst of the chaos. Once again kidnapped by aliens my penis is removed and re-attached to my face, and I return to spend the rest of my life as an absolute baller with a massive schlong for a nose, banging Aztec bitches and conquistador whores alike while living like a king.

1. the aztecs never had an "empire" since they couldn't excert governance over vast territories only some limited forms of control
2. the indigenous people would never develop the necessary defenses against european diceseases unless they where in contact with the animals of the old world

>I would never help them, those fuckers were sick cannibals. It's suppressed history and retards actually believe they were just "sacrificing" hundreds of people a day just for the fun of it and threw away all that meat. It was just a damn daily lunch feast where they tortured people and fed the masses to keep them content in

Got any more info on that? I would like to know more on this widespread cannibalism among the Aztecs stuff, I do know that the tribes the Portuguese encountered engage largely in cannibalism, but the were way more primitive, a side note, cannibalism is still found in tribes in Brazil, the former president himself is an eyewitness of that in a funeral ritual.

So apparently some faggots in this thread never read the actual accounts. Originally Cortez's original force defeated 20000 men from a local polity called a "republic city state" by them due to their lack of familiarity with there systems. They proceeded to defeat army after army totaling over 100000. Indeed auxiliaries seem to fight very little, instead acting as a screening force which prevented the Spanish from being encircled for flanked. But even when encircled for flanked they slaughtered the injuns? Why is this? The tercio and disciplined warfare in general combined with a slightly larger stature and the local's total unfamiliarity with anything they were up against. It wasn't even steel, after fleeing the capital they lost their pikes and replaced them with local replicas shod in copper and still slaughtered, though by that time they had a core of auxiliaries they had trained in the European style. Whites are just better at war man, always have been. Japs are ok, but everybody else is kinda shit, yes that includes the Turks and Mongols.

The redman was lucky he was facing Spaniards, they wanted to conquer and convert him. They took the king hostage rather than just marching in with 10,000 pyschos and sacking the city. If this was an army of English or Landsknecht mercenaries rather than just any Iberian with functioning hands who Cortez could get to come along from Hispaniola most of whom often tried to desert before he started delivering victories(and because he was technically disobeying orders), they would have fared far worse.

The only demographic in any industrialized nation which is breeding at above replacement rates are right wing whites in rural America. Their birthrate of 2.7 has not changed in 100 years. Meanwhile every other demographic whether liberal whites or assorted darkies becomes sterilized the instance they have access to even the barest fruits of modernity. The Bread and Circuses are so distracting that they effectively sterilize them. Whether you like it or not the only people fit for this world despise it, are racists, filled with hate in general, and yes are Christians albeit a very cruel kind. https://gss.norc.org/get-the-data

Don't worry the won't force you to go to Sunday School or spew moral diatribes, they'll just murder everyone else in the world and replace them with their own relations. It's interesting that supposed materialists don't seem to pursue their biologic interests but these people do. You can even listen to libtards turned nazi larpers like TheRightStuff.biz faggots bitching that these people are "materialistic" because they don't love art and faggy culture. TRSfags are atheist for context, and they come on here and bitch so yes this is relevant.

You don't seem to understand what statistical averages are, perhaps you could look it up. It is possible to get lucky you know, or the enemy could have an incompetent commander who puts in men in a compromised position, or they could be seeking some objective which puts them at higher risk. I'll give you a more recent example, a group of SF in Afghanistan suffered significant casualties to a group of Afghani paramilitary. The irregulars had elevated positions with good visibility and open fire lanes but more importantly they had several DShK, thus against a team of highly skilled men they were successful even though the ambush was not pre-prepared and they were likely far less capable in general. Even the loadout of the SF team was inappropriate for this engagement, basically zero crew served weapons. When your men are of higher quality and your doctrine is superior you usually win, when you add a technological advantage to that you usually slaughter. Part of that higher quality is having a population which relatively higher IQ(ie more capable of being instructed) individuals to draw from. You have a larger talent pool as a CEO would say.

>>On the birthrates.
Hassidim do not have above replace birthrates intergenerationally, lose are great many of the kids in the US who upon secularization suffer a drop in birthrates as in near 0. In Israel they do have a sustainable birthrate over 3 generations however I do find it amusing you bitch about unusual Christianity when the Ultra Orthodox in Israel are actual welfare leeches who are completely non-productive in any capacity.

Also Mormons no longer have above replacement fertility and if you actually checked the GSS survey you'd find that Amish are not surveyed, they do not reply to non-governmental surveys and the governmental ones are answered in a collective manner. I live were the buggy nogs have moved in, they get little exemptions to the rules you see. The majority of the whites with those high birhrates do have what you would consider deviant Christianity, a cruel clannish type of low church religion which doesn't even have a name.

I suspect you are a TRS fag since you regurgitate their talking points. They got another bunch of morons doxxed if you hadn't heard.
>>
>>62126697
Non-orthodox Jews in Israel also have above replacement TFR, it's just that ultra Orthodox TFR is even higher than theirs.
>>
>>62126777
2.0 is just below replacement you mongoloid, and that's from the Israeli Policy Institute. The various smaller surveys Haaretz uses can be aggregated to a general fertility of 3.0 and 1.88 for secular ones specifically. Whether either is manipulating the data or the assessment methodology for political reasons isn't clear since it is a bit of a discrepancy. Chinks were lying for decades who knows, are they overcounting to appear strong or undercounting because they think they can whine at the jews around enough to make them crap out more kids. Also Mike Enoch was marriage to a jews involved with drag shows and is probably 1/8 to 1/4 jew himself from his mother's side.

If conquistadors were superhumans then why were all their conquests in the stone age Americas you retard and they failed to conquer a single African country and got raped in Cambodia.

Conquistador Hernan Cortez was mauled in North Africa when attacking Algiers in 1541.

Conquistadors were defeated when trying to conquer all of Morocco, Algiers, Tunis, Cambodia, Mindanao.

How cone their superhuman powers magically evaporate when facing enemies with gunpowder and steel?

>>62126681

The guerrillas in your scenario have initiative which makes all the difference. They can identify their targets and even aim before the fight begins. They have to react to a surprise attack, identify multiple threats, and maybe even lay down fire before spotting the enemy.

All guerrilla attacks are planned to be conducted with iniative. This goes hand-in-hand with economy of ammunition, encirclement, snipers, IEDs. No matter your "quality of men" or their gear, being caught with your pants down in a disadvantageous ambush is the guerrilla's goal, only fighting battles with severe advantage.

As for "quality of men" this is very abstract. Give me one humble man of God who believes in eternal salvation over ten psychos in Gucci gear with drug problems and a complex. A man who fights without holding back anything, knowing Heaven waits on the other side.

To answer OP's question, I'd bring them the Gospel so they can establish themselves as a Christian nation/kingdom to entreat/contend with Spain like King Phillip.

But his survivors will bear tales, and in a couple years a war force will show up.

That will not stop the colonials indefinitely, or even the Spanish.

A good answer, assuming the boatless 'Tecs can capsize or capture all the harbored ships, even with sailors watching the shore. Cortez had 11 ships; if even one returns to spain the boogaloo will restart on war footing, and OP's ayys will repeat their threat to you. How will you deal with the ships?

>>62105705
>fuck capturing people for sacrifice
but it's a cornerstone of the civ. Per Iain Gately's [Tobacco], the Spaniards found gore collecting chambers inside the temples with a foot of rotting scab sludge on every surface. Asking the Aztecs to just stop would be like asking Saudi Arabia to quit being Muslim. Just asking after card tricks won't cut it, because badly losing several modern wars to Jews, and having the successful modern Christian (or "Christian") West rent free for decades did not crack Islam; how will you convince the Aztecs to abandon something as foundational as religion?

I like the details in your plan. Are you confident of doing all of that in 28-31 days, per OP? If you had a nice 3 years to account for fuckups and wastage, you'd have a better than 50% chance, especially with that intimidating schmeat. But OP wanted an immediate defense, prepped in a month.

keep in mind that i go there with all my knowledge meaning i know cortez's expedition is illegal and i know all the sketchy shit he did. i also know where in mexico the gold is roughly speaking and we might not be assembling RTX4080s the next day but i do know some basic science/tech which might allow me to push the place into an early industrial revolution with steam engines.

the spanish arent gonna invade some inhospitable jungle when an offer of easy gold is on the table and missionaries are allowed just because one murdered that defied the crown says so. read some about cortez's expedition his success is 90% luck/timing. i suspect that even if you delayed him a little bit or threw anything off the whole thing would not have happened.

>APPLAUDS LIKE MAD

>>62129681
>Syphilis
The general suspicion is that it is a New World disease.
>the rest
Like you say, I don't think any vaccination campaign is possible. If you could sink the ships and consign the Spanish to believe the land is haunted or not worth investigating for a good century, ripping the bandaid off early by intentionally spreading disease as much as possible and letting selection do its job is probably your best bet for long term stability. The value of steel, horses and gunpowder was far from nil. That said, disease did a very large part of the work. Innoculating the continents early, and staving off the invasions for long enough that populations could recover somewhat, hoping that the resulting disruption, a la Bronze Age Collapse or Yamnaya invasions or co-occuring late Uruk period collapse, may make room for some upstarts to iterate on prior developments. iirc the Tarascans (?) or a similarly named people Southern Mexico had just starter pioneering iron metallurgy. A few hundred more years for writing to disseminate from the Maya, iron metallurgy to further develop, and they'd likely fare more like the SEAmonkeys against European invasion. Another thought: endemicizing Eurasian diseases followed by isolation would also open the potential for the development of alien strains that could backwash onto invaders.
>>
>>62133843
Really I think you'd need to go back further, and start in North America. Lots of turning points, like preventing them from killing off the large draught and vehicle domestication candidates (horse, camel, large caprids, mammoths and mastodons), or propping up the continued development of the Eastern Agricultural Complex, which was more suited to mid-latitude, North American climes than corn and beans. A couple tweaks here and there could have made North America just as densely populated and productive as Mesoamerica, which would have allowed greater iteration on technological innovation, and through larger populations, human evolution itself. A thoroughly Neolithic New World would then possibly start to select for the kinds of intelligence that uphold complex empires. They had rice, for fuck's sake.

Have to add for the ignorant;
Cotez was so based that he beat not only the Aztecs and other tribes, but the Spanish.
He pissed off the local Governor and his expedition was recalled, He said;

Bumping this so I can reply to stuff later or tomorrow, there's a lot of misconceptions and misinformation in the thread.

t. Mesoamerican history and archeology nerd.

Just to get it out of the way to conserve character limit space for my replies, the OP's image is also terrible, some sort of bizarre combination of Mongols and Romans with barely any Mesoamerican much less Aztec elements. Their feather Tassel skirts actually do sorta resemble Ehuatl half decently though, particularly as seen in the depiction of Nezahualcoyotl in the Codex Ixtlilxochitl

Pic related is a useful reference collage I like to post showing how pop culture depictions of Mesoamerican stuff contrasts vs how it actually looked, not that the right side doesn't also take some liberties (EX showing the tassels on the Ehuatl skirt and shield trim on the Codex Black Ahuizotl art as pleated strips rather then tassels, tho that's because some codices do stylize the tassels as pleats)
>>
>>62141519
Also, double checking it, I guess "pleats" isn't the right word, since I meant separate strips or flaps like Greek or Roman skirt armor.

I guess it's possible that Ehuatl tunic skirts and the fringe on shields could EITHER be feather tassels or flaps/strips of leather etc, since in some depictions it is ambiguous, but the Codex Ixtlilxochitl II page I mentioned (pic) has a more realistic art style then almost any other depiction, so I'm compelled to assume that the other instances are stylization rather then actual variation.
>>
>>62140505
no, I'm serious.

I hate OP's time limit, vague victory conditions, and the threat of omnipotent ayys. In my mind there is no way to do everything in a month; OP's just watching us fuming and sweating and touching himself at each fail-post, like a little god. I'm happy you thought of something. Not sarcasm.
