Before the arrival of the Spaniards, Moctezuma II attempted to reform the Aztec Empire by implementing administrative changes aimed at consolidating power and increasing efficiency. He reorganized the tribute system to ensure greater revenue and control over conquered territories. Additionally, Moctezuma promoted religious practices and rituals to strengthen unity and loyalty among the diverse peoples within the empire. These reforms were intended to enhance the empire's stability and prestige, but ultimately, they were challenged by the impending Spanish conquest.

Moctezuma II did not explore; he was the ruler of the Aztec Empire from 1502 to 1520. He focused on expanding and governing his empire in Mesoamerica until the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in 1519.
Judge Moctezuma was not a historical figure. Moctezuma II was a ruler of the Aztec Empire, not a judge. Moctezuma II made important decisions during his reign that ultimately led to the downfall of the Aztec Empire, including how to handle the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors led by Hernan Cortes.

Hernán Cortés, the Spanish conquistador, arrived in the Aztec Empire in 1519 and initially formed a relationship with Emperor Moctezuma II, who believed Cortés might be the god Quetzalcoatl. Moctezuma welcomed him into Tenochtitlán, the Aztec capital, but the relationship soured as Cortés sought to conquer the empire. After a series of conflicts, including the capture of Moctezuma, Cortés ultimately led an assault that resulted in the downfall of the Aztec Empire in 1521. Moctezuma was killed during the turmoil, marking a significant turning point in Spanish colonization.
