The Truthful History of the Conquest of New Spain ( Spanish: Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España ) is the first-person narrative of Bernal Díaz del Castillo ( 1492 – 1581 ), the 16th-century military adventurer, conquistador, and colonist settler, who served in three Mexican expeditions ; that of Francisco Hernández de Córdoba ( 1517 ) to the Yucatán peninsula ; the expedition of Juan de Grijalva ( 1518 ), and the expedition of Hernán Cortés ( 1519 ) in the Valley of Mexico ; the history relates his participation in the fall of Emperor Moctezuma II, and the subsequent defeat of the Aztec empire.

Bernal Díaz del Castillo is the chronicler who gives the most detail about the voyage of Hernández de Córdoba ; his is also the only first-person account by someone who was present for the entire process.

Also, Bernal declares in his chronicle that he had been himself a promoter of the project, together with another hundred or so Spaniards who said they had to " occupy themselves ".

From Bernal Díaz del Castillo's narrative, it appears possible to deduce — possibly against the narrator's own pretences because he would prefer to keep this hidden — that the original goal of the project was to capture Indians as slaves to increase or replace the manpower available to work the agricultural land or the mines of Cuba, and so that the Spaniards resident on the island who did not have Indians for their own exploitation of the land, such as Bernal himself, could establish themselves as hacendados.

Bernal tells first how he, like the other restless 110 Spaniards who lived in Castilla del Oro, decided to ask permission of Pedrarias to travel to Cuba, and that Pedrarias granted this willingly, because in Tierra Firma " there was nothing to conquer, that every thing was peaceful, that Vasco Núñez de Balboa, Pedrarias's son-in-law, had conquered it ".

Those Spaniards from Castilla del Oro presented themselves in Cuba to Diego Velázquez, the governor ( and relative of Bernal Díaz del Castillo ), who promised them "... that he would give us Indians when some were available ".

Immediately after this allusion to the promise of Indians, Bernal writes, " And as three years had already passed [...] and we haven't done a single thing worth the telling, the 110 Spaniards who came from Darién and those who in the island of Cuba do not have Indians " — again an allusion to the lack of Indians — they decided to join up with " an hidalgo title of nobility or gentry, derived from hijo de algo, " son of someone " known as Francisco Hernández de Córdoba [...] and that he was a rich man who had a village of Indians on this island ", who had accepted to be their captain " to go on our venture to discover new lands and in them to employ ourselves ".
