What factors enable the spanish to defeat the Aztecs?

The Spanish had superior weaponry to the Aztecs, and were aided by rival tribes who resented Aztec rule. The primary reason may have been the effect of the diseases spread to the Aztecs by the Spanish. Lacking any immunity to these diseases, many of the Aztecs became seriously ill or died.


How long ago did the Aztecs settle in England?

I don't know what history books you've been reading or who taught you history at school but the Aztecs never settled in England.


How would history have changed if the Aztecs had first viewed Cortes as a threat than a god?

I believe the cortez and his men could have easily been destroyed and overcome by the sheer numbers of aztecs as compared to spanish, irregardless of the spanish advantage of horses and gun powder. However, due to the greed of men for wealth, and the aztec technological disadvantage, history would have only been delayed, as the aztec were a wealthy and yet technologically weak society. Similar to modern day oil rich Iraq compared to America. As they say, history repeats itself.7


Could the Aztecs have stayed in power if their geographic location had been different?

It is difficult to predict, but the Aztecs' power was largely based on their control of the wealthy Valley of Mexico and its trade networks. If they had settled in a less strategic location, they may have faced greater challenges in building and maintaining their empire.


What aided the spanish in conquering the Aztecs?

Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortes' was able to defeat Montezuma and the Aztec empire by the use of force and with the help of native tribes who had been conquered by the Aztecs. Cortes' soldiers also had firearms that destroyed Aztec warriors. Montezuma had been disgraced when he was captured by Cortes.


What did the Aztecs do when Cortes and the conquistadors came?

The Spanish came to central America and delivered diseases such as Smallpox, Measles and Influenza to the Aztecs. The Aztecs, unlike the Spanish, were definitely not immune to the diseases and caught them, making them weak and forcing them to lose the battle between them. Although the Aztecs captured and sacrificed many of the Spanish, the Spanish resulted in taking over the capital city of Tenochtitlan and defeating all the Aztecs. The Spanish at one point tried to spread the Catholic religion throughout Mexico, forcing Aztecs to learn more about God and the Bible. If children didn't learn their lesson about it, they were punished. They were forced to stop worshiping their gods and celebrating their festivals. They were also made to work in Spanish mines or on estates.

What did the Spanish do to Tenochtitlan?

Massacred them; the arrival of the Spanish, particularly Cortes, their leader, having been welcomed by the Aztecs as the long-awaited return of their god Qetzalcoatl, the 'plumed serpent'. After initial good relations between the Spaniards and Aztecs there were complications caused by political intervention on both sides, and the situation deteriorated to the point of the aforementioned massacre and destruction of the capital Tenochtitlan, despite the Spanish being vastly outnumbered by the Aztecs, but possessing firearms and horses.

The Aztec Empire in what we now call Mexico fell victim to the Spanish conquistador, Cortes'. He captured the Aztec ruler and disgraced him and the Spanish were aided by Native Tribes who had been victims of the Aztecs.


Which native American civilizations helped conquer the Aztecs?

The Aztec Empire had made many enemies among the neighbouring tribes, some of whom had been subjugated by them but still bore resentment towards the Aztecs. The Spaniards were very quick to ally themselves to these enemies of the Aztecs, since the one thing they lacked was numbers. The main tribes who sided with the Spanish were the Totonacs (theoretically conquered by the Aztecs) and Tlaxcallans, against whom the Aztecs had long been waging a war of annihilation. Other warriors came from Cholula and Huextzingo.


How might Tenochtitlan's location have been a benefit and a hindrance to the Aztecs?

I think it is Aztecs
