The battle for Tenochtitlan was won by the Spanish conquistadors led by Hernán Cortés in 1521. They, along with their indigenous allies, defeated the Aztec Empire, which was ruled by Moctezuma II and later Cuauhtémoc. The fall of Tenochtitlan marked a significant turning point in the Spanish colonization of Mexico. This victory ultimately led to the establishment of Spanish rule in the region.

Before the battle for Tenochtitlan, Hernán Cortés had around 600 Spanish troops. In addition to these soldiers, he also had several hundred indigenous allies, including the Tlaxcalans, who significantly bolstered his forces. This combined army faced the much larger Aztec forces during the conquest of their capital.
