Best Answer

Hernán Cortés (1485-1547) encountered the Aztecs in 1519, and although the Spanish were initially treated as "gods" by the natives, they soon had to militarily defeat them. By August, 1521, after losing hundreds of men and needing reinforcements from Cuba, Cortes completed the conquest of the Aztecs empire and ruled Mexico until 1524.
