A Spanish conquistador named Hernando Cortes went to the Inca city of Tenochtitlan, in search of gold, but after hearing of how the Inca treated those who were conquered, Hernando marched strait into their city, taking their ruler, Montezuma 2, hostage, easily defeating the Inca's, because they had no horses, armor, or gunpowder.
