The Aztecs' interactions with Europeans primarily occurred during the Spanish conquest in the early 16th century, led by Hernán Cortés. Initially, the Aztecs, under Emperor Moctezuma II, were curious and somewhat welcoming to the Spanish, mistaking them for divine beings. However, this interaction quickly turned hostile as the Spanish sought to conquer and exploit the empire, leading to the fall of Tenochtitlán in 1521. The resulting conflicts, along with the introduction of European diseases, significantly diminished the Aztec population and altered their civilization.
