The first time he attacked the Aztecs, he took advantage of Montezuma's (Aztec leader) hospitality, taking him prisoner. This led to Hernan Cortes controlling the Aztecs, until they rebelled, finally forcing Hernan Cortes out. Cortes then waited for more Spanish troops to arrive, and when they did, going back to attack the Aztecs, but this time completely demolishing their city of Tenochtitlan.
