It was not long before famine invaded their land. Diseases began to spread and day in day out. A great number of them died in the hands of small pox having no resistance and immunity to these diseases strange to them and so freely passed to them by the Europeans. The Europeans began to force them into labour and daily they lost their lives and their numbers began to dwindle drastically. They had no prior knowledge of political and economic order and the Europeans crippled their land using their ignorance as a weapon. They were an extremely disunited people. How then could they form a resistance in disarray? They shared things freely amongst themselves. They were comfortable until the European adventurers came. They were not prepared. With joy and acceptance they took them in. Enthralled by their level of civilization and the things they had created with the abilities they lacked by themselves. They brought in cannon, steel knives, swords, brass kettle, muzzle loader, mirrors, hawk bells and they traded with them. They brought the concept of business to the Indians and they could not keep up. The adventurers began to cause destruction.

As they dwindled and began to fall as a people, they began to develop deep hatred for their invaders whom they had initially welcomed with open arms and their systems and ways of living. They hated that things were no longer shared freely and everything had become business. They hated that their invaders were insatiable in their desire for acquiring wealth. Above all, the Aztecs were repulsed that the invaders has no respect and tolerance for their customs. They found their sexual orientations, food habits and general way of living repugnant and below standard. Being attune to nature and all that it freely gave, the Indians found it strange that the invaders wanted to commercialize even the free gifts of nature; the abundance of beavers; the timber and even their copper. The North Americans had no resistance. They did not stand a winning chance against the highly enlightened, organized European invaders who were full of resources alien to them. They divided them with diseases and conquered them.
