History is so fucked-up. Conquistadores were not so different to mercenaries. You can't call them heroes, that's ignorance/ bigotry.
Sorry for the tone of my message, this whole thread triggers some anxiety.
Please bear in mind you are talking about looting, genocide and slavery.
I wouldn't blame the spanish crown, tho they were overlooking (at the least).
