Mohammed, Alharbi Prov-104-AC2 2/28/14 .

In the end, as we see the three primary sources are different from each other in the tone and the purpose of each of them. As I discussed firstly, the second letter of Hernan Cortez source wasnt reliable because the letter contain ambiguities in understanding the Tlaxcalans motives. For example: when Hernan was fighting the Tlaxcalans after they attacked them first and then later they become friend for highness the King Charles. Secondly, Bernal Diaz source was objective and more reliable than the others because it contains many specific details about the conquest of New Spain. For insure, this primary source contain what happened with the King Montezuma and about his live. Finally, The Broken Spears source was reliable because it has more evidence and details for example, this source described the strangers who are the Mexican and how they ate, wear and their bodies how they are completely covered. In summary, there were two primary sources which I believe its more believable than the third one. The two primary sources are The Broken Spears, The true History of the Conquest of New Spain and the third one was The Second Letter of Hernan Cortez.
