Cortes and his men attacked the Aztec civilization while riding huge horses. The warriors where armed with cross bows and heavy swords. But not only did Cortes's men wipe out more than half the Aztecs they also brought a killer disease which killed the rest of the Aztecs and ended their civilization for ever. It is also wise to acknowledge that Cortes did not do this on his own. Along his travel to Tenochtitlan he made allies with other Indian tribes that did not like the Aztecs. This was another key to Cortes' victory over the Aztecs.

Well Disease, rifles, and allies helped Cortez defeat the Aztecs.
they were people that hated the Aztecs and were happy to serve Cortes.
Cortes found allies against the Aztecs among the many conquered and oppressed Central American tribes. They were happy to help, as the Aztecs had a habit of taking war prisoners and sacrificing them to the gods, as well as forcing conquered enemies to pay ridiculously high tributes, which were sort of like taxes.

When Hernan Cortes first arrived in Tenochtitlan in 1519, Moctezuma, the ruler of the Aztecs, agreed to let Cortes stay. However, a year later, in 1520, the Aztecs rose and threw Cortes out of the city. Later on, Moctezuma was killed, most probably by the Aztecs. Later on, in 1521, Cortes came back with his army, and he defeated the Aztecs with the help of: Metal armor Smallpox (people think that more than 1,000 Aztecs died because of Smallpox) Muskets Horses (the Aztecs had never seen horses before, and they got frightened) Allies
The Spanish explorers, led by Hernan Cortes arrived at Tenochtitlán, the city of the enemies of the Aztecin 1519. They allied and attacked the Aztecs in 1520. Hernan Cortes and his Spanish party were sent from Cuba. Cortes had convinced the Spanish monarchy that the Aztecs held vast amounts of easily accessible gold and that he would bring it for the King in return for being allowed to become governor of any new government in the region. Although only a small group, Cortes played the Native tribes against one-another and brought disease which crippled the local populations. Cortes eventually arrived in the capital to meet Montezuma, the leader of the Aztecs, when he and his allies attacked the leader and captured the city.
The Aztecs communicated with Hernan Cortes through interpreters, primarily a woman named Malintzin or Marina who spoke both Nahuatl and Mayan languages. Marina played a crucial role in facilitating communication between Cortes and the Aztec leader Moctezuma. Cortes also had Spanish-speaking Indigenous allies who helped in translation.
Allies helped Cortez because the Aztecs wanted a heavy tribute and they also were going around, taking random people from tribes to sacrifice to their gods, so the allies wanted to stop this.
Cortes made allies with the aztec enemies, as well the spanish spread disease to the natives which made them weaker
