What three things aided the Spanish in conquering the Aztec Empire?
Cortés Conquers the Aztecs European rulers wanted explorers to find riches to bring back to Europe. Hernán Cortés led an expedition to Mexico in 1519. His ships carried more than 500 conquistadors with horses and weapons. They wanted fame and riches. Cortés had heard about the Aztecs. The Aztecs ruled an empire that covered much of present-day Mexico. Its capital city, Tenochtitlán, was beautiful and huge. It was twice as big as any European city. The Aztec ruler, Moctezuma, welcomed Cortés, but Moctezuma soon sent the Spaniards away. The conquistadors were greedy for gold. Cortés got help from neighboring Indian nations that had been conquered by the Aztecs. His soldiers had horses and weapons and the Aztecs did not. Contact with the Spanish had infected the Aztec army with disease and made the Aztecs weak. Cortés defeated them. In 1535, Spain controlled the Aztec empire and named it New Spain. After Cortés, conquistadors explored Central and South America to find gold and treasure. Pizarro conquered the Inca empire in South Americas in the 1530s.

All of the following contributed to the spanish victory over the Aztecs except?
The Spanish victory over the Aztecs in the initial phase of western colonialism in the Americas may be attributed especially to three factors. First, of course, the Spanish technological superiority in fire-arms and body-armor, among other factors, strongly contributed to their victory. Second was the clever use that the Spanish made of allies -- enemies of the Aztecs who were emboldened by the presence of the Spanish. Third, it should also be mentioned that deception and self-serving diplomacy contributed strongly to the final victory of the Spanish invaders.

What were the negative effects the Spanish had on the Aztecs?
After three months of fighting, Cortes defeated the capital city of the Aztec Empire, Tenochtitlan. The emperor Cuauhtémoc was taken prisoner and executed later that same year, and Cortes became the ruler of the expansive empire. The surviving Aztecs were highly susceptible to European diseases previously unknown to their culture, such as smallpox and typhus. In 1521, smallpox decimated the population of Tenochtitlan. Two following epidemics killed 75 percent of the remaining population, according to the New World Encyclopedia. Surviving Aztecs were not allowed to learn of their native culture and were forced to read and write in Spanish. Many elements of Aztec culture were lost forever.

Did the Aztecs try to convert the Spanish?
The Spanish invasion was not a meeting of equals, where each side could try to convert the other. The Spanish generally had overwhelming military power. More importantly, they had magic that must have come from the gods (especially guns), and even looked like the gods. When the Spanish told the Aztecs to believe in Jesus, there was no debate and rarely any resistance - the Aztec people accepted the teachings of the Spanish.
