Hernán Cortés
One key factor that helped Hernán Cortés conquer the powerful Aztec Empire was his ability to form alliances with various indigenous groups who were resentful of Aztec rule. These alliances provided him with additional manpower and local knowledge, which proved crucial in navigating the complex political landscape of the region. Additionally, the spread of diseases like smallpox, which decimated the Aztec population, weakened their ability to resist the Spanish conquest.

Hernán Cortés conquered the Aztec Empire between 1519 and 1521. He arrived in Mexico in 1519, allied with various indigenous tribes, and captured the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlán, in August 1521. This marked the fall of the Aztec Empire and the beginning of Spanish colonization in the region.
