The Aztecs feared the Spanish (Hernado de Cortes) because of sevreral reasons. I will list all those i know: 1) The Spanish had a propechy that said there god would come to them on boats. They believed this would come true. They thought that the Spanish were their god forfilling the propecy. 2) The spanish had horses which were unknown to the Aztecs. (Remember that horses were original to Europe's area and that they came over through the Columbian exchange with pigs earthworms...) They were fearful of the horses. 3) The Spanish had weapons like guns the Aztecs had feathersheilds and bows and arrows. That made them fearful. 4) they also had massive ships that they arrived on and they also were unaware of the time that the 'god' would come. I hope this answered your question, if not ask more. Thank you. -Roundrupert

∙ 12y agoTo conquer them, make slaves of the Aztecs, and to get their gold. Also, because the Aztecs ruled much of Central America, took people as slaves, and offered them up as human sacrifices. A lot of the Native Americans helped the Spaniards to defeat the Aztecs, because they did not like the idea of being killed as a human sacrifice. Ending the Aztecs' practice of human sacrifice was the correct thing to do. Although the slavery part, and the lust for gold, was wrong.
