1. Hernando Cortes after landing and discovering Tabasco he gained intelligence from the Indians. Afterwards he sailed to a coast along the SouthEast coast of Mexico and found veracruz. He exercised his army and disciplined them making them into a cohesive force. After sinking his ships he committed himself and his whole army to survive by conquest. Going for the interior of Mexico he had to rely on force sometimes, sometimes made friends with the local Indians. After subduing the neighbouring territories he laid siege to the city itself, conquering it street by street until its capture was completed on August 13, 1521. This victory marked the fall of the Aztec empire. Cortés had become the absolute ruler of a huge territory extending from the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean.

2. James Cook on the other hand found and charted all of New Zealand, and discovered the southeast coast of Australia. 30 men on his ship died of fever but none died of Scurvy. He discovered New Caledonia in the Pacific and the South Sandwich Islands and South Georgia island in the Atlantic. And in July 1776 he went off again on the Resolution, with another Whitby ship, the Discovery. This search was unsuccessful, for neither a northwest nor a northeast passage usable by sailing ships existed, and the voyage led to Cook’s death. Cook had set new standards of thoroughness in discovery and seamanship, in navigation, cartography, and the care of men at sea, in relations with indigenous peoples both friendly and hostile, and in the application of science at sea. And he had peacefully changed the map of the world more than any other single man in history. Cook never went to war, and in all honesty was a good man who did the wrong thing which was stealing a cutter which got him killed.

Hernando Cortes had many, many quotes but here is one of them “I love to travel, but hate to arrive.”
