Cortez had several advantages in defeating the Aztecs. He had superior weapons, such as firearms and cannons, which gave him a significant military advantage. He also had the support of various indigenous allies who were enemies of the Aztecs and provided him with valuable intelligence and manpower. Furthermore, Cortez took advantage of political divisions within the Aztec empire and was able to exploit them to weaken and ultimately defeat them.

The Spanish had guns and the Aztecs did not.
the factors were; the Spanish victory; alliances, weapons and horses, geography, and disease
The Spanish had horses and guns while the Aztecs still used swards and did not use domesticated animals, but the reason they were able to defeat the Aztec was because the Aztecs suffered many deaths from disease.
the Aztecs as other native American races were defeated for several reasons: the spanish soldiers had allied with other tribes to defeat them (the tlaxcalls) the spanish soldiers carried diseases that killed many Indians (smallpox) the spanish had technologies that gave them advantage in combat (horses powder and different combat strategies)
Smallpox and hunger killed more people than actual battles the Aztecs had.

The Spanish had horses, guns, swords, and cannon while the Aztecs still used hand weapons and spears. They also had the backing from tribes who disliked the Aztecs, such as the Talaxcala. However the defeat of the Aztecs and the downfall of Tenochtitlan was mainly due to the ravages of disease. Most of the population of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, were wiped out by the diseases the Spanish brought, to which the natives had no immunity.
