Cortes wanted to go to Asia but he landed in Cuba. After that he sailed east where he found the island of Cozumel. Then he went north then south to end up in Campech.after that he sail to Pontonchon down south.then he sail to San Juan de Ulua where he landed in Mexico.after that her fought against an army of 25,000 men.now Cortes had only 499 men with guns, cannons and 16 horses. When the natives he fought saw the gun power and the horses they freaked out and thought that Cortes and men were gods so they retreated. Only two of Cortes men died and about 5,000 natives died that day in the battle.after that Cortes moved up north and fought more natives. Later Cortes was given about 200,000 to 300,000 men from different native tribes. Later on in 1519, Cortes and his 300,000 men attacked the capital city of the Aztecs called Tenochtitlan. I don't know how Cortes defeated the Aztecs if the Aztecs have over 2 million men, but he did. Later on, Cortes and other Spain armies took over Peasant Day Mexico, US, Middle Americas and the whole content of South America but Brazil.

Hernando Cortes (A.K.A Hernan Cortez) is most famous for conquering the Aztecs against 5 million men against Hernando's small amount of men with less than 1000 men. So, one of his expedition would be in Tenochtitlan.

Cortes went to southern America, his motivation was to convert natives to christian because he was a strong christian. He travels to Peru and try to convert them. Those who do not convert would be killed. Cortes conquered the Incas empire after slaying those who won't convert. He gets the power to conquer the Incas because he killed the leader.
