What explorer was resposible for the defeat of the Aztees?
When Hernan Cortes first arrived in Tenochtitlan in 1519, Moctezuma, the ruler of the Aztecs, agreed to let Cortes stay. However, a year later, in 1520, the Aztecs rose and threw Cortes out of the city. Later on, Moctezuma was killed, most probably by the Aztecs. Later on, in 1521, Cortes came back with his army, and he defeated the Aztecs with the help of: Metal armor Smallpox (people think that more than 1,000 Aztecs died because of Smallpox) Muskets Horses (the Aztecs had never seen horses before, and they got frightened) Allies

Yes, they are, He can be known as Hernando, Hernan and even Fernando Cortes.
