Best Answer

He was the Spanish conquistador who conquered Mexico for Spain by defeating the Mayan Empire.

This cannot be a minor edit.. the wrong Native American empire is named.

Hernando Cortez conquered the Aztec Native American Empire. He was able to send gold back to Spain. Up until this time, conquering Mexico was the biggest Spanish accomplishment for the conquistadors.
