After reading the article I have come to the conclusion that Hernan Cortes was justified in overthrowing the Aztecs. I believe he did not have any intentions in the first place to have a battle with the Aztecs. The Aztecs were the ones who were secretly planning on killing Cortes and anyone who was with him. In the essay it said he asked one of the natives of the city if what he was being told by his female translator and the Tascalteca was true. The native had confirmed the facts.

I disagree with the statement “killing is never justified”. Killing another is never justified in some circumstances, but in other circumstances, killing can be justified. Killing cannot be justified if crime was intentional or was planned beforehand. This is murder because the event was planned and it one person was killed by another. For example, if someone plans to kill someone beforehand, then killing in that case will not be justified because that person did it knowingly.
