Synthetic horseshoes, available since 1990, are made of nylon and various forms of plastic, such as acrylic polymers, polyurethane and polyethylene. They are glued, rather than nailed, to the hoof, which prevents the trapping of moisture between the shoe and the hoof.
Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. (Redirected from The destruction of the Aztec) The Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire (begun February 1519) was one of the most significant events in the Spanish colonization of the Americas.
However, there is much more to Aztec civilisation than this practice. By 1519, when the first Spanish conquistadors under HernÃ¡n CortÃ©s landed in Mexico, the Aztecs were in control of an empire that was inhabited by a population of 5 to 6 million people. This large population meant that the exploitation of the landscape for agricultural purposes had to be intensified.
