The most devastating event for the Aztecs in Tenochtitlan during the 16th century was the Spanish conquest led by Hernán Cortés, culminating in the fall of the city in 1521. The arrival of the Spanish, coupled with alliances with rival indigenous groups and the spread of diseases like smallpox, significantly weakened the Aztec population and their ability to resist. The siege of Tenochtitlan resulted in widespread destruction and marked the end of the Aztec Empire, leading to Spanish colonization of Mexico.
