Cortez killed some of the Aztecs - most of the died from the diseases that his soldiers brought with them from Europe and to which the Aztecs had no immunity. They are not extinct though. Their decedents are the modern day Mexicans, which is ironically the name they called themselves. The term Aztec was coined by an American to distinguish the old generation from the new when writing his book.

What are the reasons why Cortez conquered all the Aztecs?
Cortez killed the Aztecs because of the 3 G's. God, Gold, Glory. God: the Spanish wanted to spread cathlicism. Aztecs wouldn't accept it. Gold: Cortez thought the Aztecs were hiding gold. But the Aztecs were not hiding gold (they didn't even know what gold was!!). Cortez would not believe the Aztecs when they told him they had no gold. Glory: [note: I'm not sure if this last reason is true] The spanish killed the Aztecs (at least partly) because they can.
How did Cortes interact with the Aztecs?
The meeting between the Aztecs and Cortez didn't go very well. As you may already know Cortez befriended the Aztecs because they thought he was a holy God. He left the city and when he returned he realized his men had killed all of the Aztecs due to some religious ritual. I think that if he had been there he would have stopped his men from killing the Aztecs, but that is just my opinion. So in conclusion the meeting between the Aztecs and Cortez went horribly wrong; in result many innocent people died.

How did herrman Cortes conquer the Aztec?
It all started off with the Aztecs beliveing in this "god" called the bird god and when Cortez came all the Aztecs thought that Cortez was the bird god because of the big sails on his ship and his armor and all the amazing things that the Aztecs did not have. when Cortez landed, the Aztecs invited Cortez in because they thought that he was the bird god. when Cortez saw how nicely the Aztecs were treating Cortez he pretended that he actually was the bird god. Shprtly after that Cortez and his crew took the emporer or king and took him and Cortez said if you didnt fill this small, empty room form floor to celing with gold then he would kill the king/emporor and the Aztecs did. They filled it up and after that Cortez and his crew all had guns of course because they were from Europe and the scared the Aztecs and sothen they pretty much killed all the Aztecs and that's how they pretty much all got wiped out. In the end Cortez and his crew god all the money and the Aztecs got killed.
