Hernán Cortés explored and conquered the Aztec Empire in present-day Mexico during the early 16th century. He arrived in 1519 and is best known for leading an expedition that resulted in the fall of Tenochtitlán, the Aztec capital, in 1521. Cortés's exploration and subsequent colonization efforts significantly impacted the indigenous populations and altered the course of Mexican history. His actions also paved the way for Spanish colonization in the Americas.
