After Cortez had defeated the Aztec's in 1521, he was appointed Govenor of Mexico and ruled from 1521-1524. During this time he initiated the construction of Mexico City by destroying the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan and building the new city on top of the ruins. He supported efforts to bring Christianity to the native population, and over the next 7 years tried to establish peace among the Indians of Mexico. He developed mines and farming, imported domestic animals[sheep,cattle,horses] and in 1524 introduced a land tenure system. He appointed men to extend Spanish rule through out the country, was one of the first to attempt to grow sugar in Mexico, and one the first to import African slaves. Within 2 years of the arrival of Cortez, the Aztec Empire had been totally destroyed.

The Spanish, led by Francisco Pizarro, conquered the Inca in the early 1500's.
Most certainly.His goal was to conquer the Aztecs in the name of the Spanish Empire. Though his initial military attack in 1518 failed (he may have had guns, but not numbers), he unintentionally unleashed smallpox on Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital (now Mexico City), which made it possible for swift military victory (Cortes thought the smallpox had been sent by God). He thus established a reputation as the most brutal of the Conquistadores.
Before the Spanish conquered it was the Incan Empire then after they were conquered in 1533 it was known were a part of the "Virreinato del peru" as the Real Audiencia de Lima.
Francisco Pizarro conquered the Inca civilization in 1531. He ambushed the Incan ruler, Atahualpa, at a "peace talk", taking him prisoner and demanding a ransom. The Incans gave a fortune in gold and silver for the return of their ruler, but Pizarro took the ransom and executed Atahualpa shortly afterward. Later, he marched to Cuzco unstopped in 1533, thus heralding the end of the Incan Empire.
