Because the Aztecs had never seen horses, they believed that the men riding in on horses were gods. Instead of fighting back against the conquistadors, they allowed them among them and even offered them gifts. By the time that they realized that the conquistadors were not gods, but enemies, it was too late for them to fight back.
