What did hernan Cortes do to the Aztec people and their culture?
In 1519, Cortes met Moctezuma. The King gave lavish gifts of gold to the Spanish, but unfortunately this simply excited their desire to plunder. Cortes allegedly first kidnapped the Aztec King, then forced him to serve as a puppet while Cortes ruled the Aztecs. In 1520 Moctezuma was killed. Though the reason is disputed, locals claimed this was due to Moctezuma's inability to placate the locals.

Is there a statue of hernan Cortes in Mexico?
To the Mexican people, Don Hernan Cortes was, and still is, considered as a bad role model, especially to the vast amount of indigenous people still living in the city of Mexico. The Spanish on the contrary, think of him as supposely as a religious man who was a creative thinker and a great discoverer or conquistador. Suppposely the finding of the Americas was the second biggest thing that ever happened in history, the first being the birth of Jesus. In Spain, you can find a good amount of statues and memorials dedicated to him as well as in Peru, for some reason... But in Mexico, the only statues that you would find would be the tatloani or emperors of the Mexica (Not Aztecs, the name was simply derived from Aztlan and was commonly used by the Spaniards. They were either called the Tenochca or Mexica, where Mexico gets it's name.) But that's, in my opinion, a possible factor of why there are not any statues of Cortes, even though he was buried in Mexico D.F. after his death.
