>his own goals were… him going rogue… not with [the Crown’s] planning or consent
Cortés was a glory hound, no question. But the Crown’s system enabled rogues like him. They didn’t need to micromanage; they set up a profit-driven machine where ambitious men like Cortés or Pizarro (who similarly went off-script in Peru) could act, and the Crown would reap the rewards. Pizarro’s conquest of the Inca in 1532 was less chaotic (approved by Charles V, with a small force leveraging Atahualpa’s civil war and smallpox). Spain’s empire grew through these semi-independent actors, not despite them.

>implying Cortés and Columbus were master strategists
Never said they were Clausewitz. The “calculated” bit refers to the Crown’s broader strategy: fund exploration, incentivize conquest, and integrate gains. Columbus’s misadventure and Cortés’s insubordination weren’t scripted, but they fit Spain’s expansionist playbook. The empire’s rapid rise came from harnessing these wildcards, not from top-down orders. The collapse later? That’s where mismanagement and overextension kick in, not the initial conquests. Spain’s chaos was just productive until it wasn’t.

>uninhabited land meme
Not entirely wrong, but Spain didn’t need to micromanage every acre. Their empire was about resource nodes and trade routes, not modern nation-state borders. Overextension and inflation from silver dependence screwed them later, not lack of control early on.
