Yes, the Spanish conquistadors, led by Hernán Cortés, defeated the Aztec Empire in the early 16th century. The conquest culminated in 1521 when Cortés captured Tenochtitlán, the Aztec capital, after a series of battles, alliances with rival indigenous groups, and the spread of diseases that weakened the Aztec population.

The Aztecs thought that the Spanish were gods so they worshiped them and did whatever they could to please them, at first. But the Aztec ruler, Montezuma, had his doubts about them. Soon after they arrived, the Aztecs discovered that the Spanish were as mortal as their other enemies, and fought against them. They captured some Spaniards, and sacrificed or even ate them. The Spanish won out because of their superior armament, and because the diseases they brought with them soon killed many of the Aztecs.
