Who was the king of the Aztecs when Hernan invaded the Aztecs?
When Hernan Cortes invaded Tenochtitlan and the Aztec empire, the Aztecs were being ruled by Moctezuma II. Moctezuma was a very religious men so he thought that Cortes was the god Quetzalcoatl coming back to his land. Before the Spanish conquistador came to Mexico, about 9 omens (weird signs or things that happened that meant that a big change was coming) appeared, so Moctezuma thought that those omens meant that Quetzalcoatl was coming back. Later Hernan Cortes used this as an advantage to conquer the Aztec empire.

How did the Inca empire collapse?
In 1532, Francisco Pizarro arrived at Peru. He had only 200 men and 27 horses with him, but on the way, many people joined him, and his group increased in number. When the Spaniards began then to fight against the Inca, they not only brought European sicknesses with them, and more technology, but also many Incas rebelled against their own country. In 1536, Cuzco (the capital city of the Incan empire) was obviously lost and defeated. On August 29, 1553, Atahualpha (the ruler of the Inca) was killed by the Spanish. However, before being killed, he was told that if he accepted to change his culture and become Christian, he'd be treated fairly. Atahualpha desperately agreed, but the Spanish changed their minds, and strangled him anyways. The Inca emperors lasted for another 30 years hidden in the Vilcababa mountain regions, until the last of the Inca rulers was beheaded in 1572. The Inca civilization was destroyed soon after as the Spaniards forced the Inca people to give up their traditions. The Inca people were then literally worked to death.

How did the Aztec lifestyles change after the Spanish overran their empire?
There were no more Aztecs left- the Spanish killed them all, because they didn't want to be over-taken by the Aztecs if they rose again. But the only reason the Aztecs lost is because a disease- small pox- had weakened them and so they couldn't have retaliated.
What did the Aztecs do when Cortes and the conquistadors came?
The Spanish came to central America and delivered diseases such as Smallpox, Measles and Influenza to the Aztecs. The Aztecs, unlike the Spanish, were definitely not immune to the diseases and caught them, making them weak and forcing them to lose the battle between them. Although the Aztecs captured and sacrificed many of the Spanish, the Spanish resulted in taking over the capital city of Tenochtitlan and defeating all the Aztecs. The Spanish at one point tried to spread the Catholic religion throughout Mexico, forcing Aztecs to learn more about God and the Bible. If children didn't learn their lesson about it, they were punished. They were forced to stop worshiping their gods and celebrating their festivals. They were also made to work in Spanish mines or on estates.

Was the Spanish unable to overpower the Aztecs and the Incas with their superior weaponry?
The Spanish had superior weaponry, but the Aztecs had many more people, and the Spanish had to flee a few times, or ally with natives, in order to take over. They also did lots of tricky things like kidnapping and giving permission for celebrations and then turning them into massacres. I don't think that there was ever much doubt that they would eventually overcome; just they had to change their timing and alter their plans sometimes because of the strength of the natives.

How did the Aztec and spanish cultures clash?
1. Religion The Aztec's religion based on human sacrifice horrified the Spaniards. When they arrived, the conquistadors attempted to change the Mesoamericans into Christians. 2. Warfare The different fighting styles on the battlefield created a very interesting fight. The Spanish aimed to kill, while Aztec culture caused warriors to want to capture. This is because Aztec society was based on capture - capturing enemies led to promotion in rank in the army and in society. Why did the hierarchy work like this? Because of sacrifice's importance to the Aztecs. Captured enemies were ALWAYS sacrificed to the god, Huitzilopochtli. So in other words, capturing enemies to kill on the altar led to fame and promotion. 3. Technology Although the Aztecs were technologically advanced, the Spanish had steel weapons with points (as opposed to the maces of the Aztecs). This gave the Spanish the edge in battle.
How did the economy of the Aztecs change as a result to the Spanish Conquest?
The Aztec economy ceased to exist. An economy of any group is based on trade whether in agricultural goods or manufactured items. The Aztec people who survived the many illnesses brought to them by the Spanish were enslaved by the Spanish losing all autonomy or control of their lives, culture, resources, and goods. They provided slave labor for mining operations, plantations, and any endeavor which would benefit Spain and the Spanish economy.
