There is a common misconception stating that Aztecs confused the Spaniards for gods; in fact the Aztecs knew they were men, but were curious to find out what were their motives. Unfortunately, Cortes and his conquistadors were greedy conquerors in search for gold and ultimately destroyed the Aztec empire.

Hernan Cortez was the Spanish explorer and adventurer, not soldier, who conquered the Aztecs

When Cortes appears at the Aztecs empire, they believe that he is the god, Quetzalcoatl but he is truly an enemy that is out to destroy the Aztec Empire. Anyway, the Aztecs welcome the Spanish with food, and with a place to stay that lines the entire city giving an easy way to defeat the Aztecs.
The Aztecs initially welcomed Cortes with gifts and gold because they believed he might be the returning deity Quetzalcoatl. They also hoped to form an alliance with the Spanish against their enemies.
