Best Answer

The Aztec empire started around 1200 A.D and ended in the early 1500s when Hernan Cortes landed on Mexico's gulf coast. He and about 600 soldiers marched to Tenochtitlan, which they heard was filled with gold. The spainards tricked the Aztecs into signing treaties while making them join them. They treated them like slaves and killed 6 million Aztecs within 2 years. Thousands died from mistreatment and even more died from "White Man Diseases" such as the common cold and small pox.
