Mysteries of History

People wonder how a handful of marooned Spaniards with a few horses and guns could possibly have conquered all of Mexico.

While they're at it they might ask how the Moors conquered all of Spain in less than a month.

And then why it took the Spanish eight hundred years to win their country back.

Reading Spanish for Reading, Barrons, 1998, Fabiola Franco and Karl Sandberg.
