Due to smallpox and the invasion of Cortes and his army, the Aztecs were wiped out, so they weren’t given a chance to resist the Spanish empire and regain independence as a separate empire. In order for Cortes to justify his invasive actions, he reasoned that by the end of his conquest he’d acquire lots of riches which would ensure some position of power for himself in the future.

In the 1920s, many people traveled across America and from different countries to the industrialized city of Los Angeles to look for opportunities and fulfill the American dream. For centuries, many immigrants came to Los Angeles expecting that not only it is a center of modernization and production of high-quality goods, but also a promising land of dreams and opportunities. However, as they arrived, they encountered several unbelievable obstacles. In the diary entry "Laughing In The Jungle", the author Louis Adamic comments that the scenery of Los Angeles is merely a deception to society's eyes; actually, it is an egocentric society where people valued greed and wealth. Pico Iyer's diary entry "Where Worlds Collide" explains how Los Angeles is not a starting point, but rather an end where all dreams and expectations that the foreigners carried throughout their journey simply shatter.

Tony Kushner was writing in a completely different time in America, and his character Joe deals with a crisis about his sexuality in Angels in America.
