Montezuma II was the last ruler of the Aztec Empire at the beginning of the 16th century. Then Cortés, a European conquistador, captured and defeated him, and his empire fell. The Atzecs had no immunity against certain illnesses him and his men had brought and many of them were wiped out from disease and such. Also, their weapons technology was superior so the whole ordeal wasn't exactly fair. Anyway, Cortés defeated Montezuma II. It is said that Montezuma put a curse on his gold because after the defeat of the empire, Cortez and his men got sick and died (probably more because of illnesses they themselves were not immune to rather than a curse) but now travelers to Mexico are warned about Montezuma's revenge because they often get diarrhea when they drink the water there.
