They arrived on 1519. They allied with some native tribes; of special importance were the Tlaxcalans, who were bitter enemies of the Aztecs. After June 30, 1520 they made their intentions clear and massacred many people in Tenochtitlan. With the help of Tlaxcalan warriors (up to 10,000) and many deaths induced by smallpox, the Spaniards were able to defeat a much weaker Aztec empire.
