What contributed to the Spanish's victory over the Aztec?

The Spanish victory over the Aztecs in the initial phase of western colonialism in the Americas may be attributed especially to three factors.

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.
