Did Cortes like the Aztecs?
It is not as much that he did not like the Aztecs but saw the wealth they had and wanted to take for the Spanish. The Aztecs thought Cortes was a living god in the flesh and his men were his crones. With this being the fact, Cortes took down the Aztecs by tricking them into thinking that he was divine. He stole there gold and later on Spanish peoples not only converted them to Christianity since they thought they were devil worshipers, but they also enslaved them. Mass amounts of Aztecs died off due to the diseases through the Colombian Exchange. When this occurred, the Spanish began to buy slaves from West Africa to fill the gap on the plantations. This began the slave trade.

How did the Aztecs die?
The Aztecs didn't necessarily die. But, how most of the population died, are of many theories. One is the dehydration and starvation theory. For example, crops weren't growing so most of them died off. Another theory is to much sacrificing. The priests killed to much people, about 10,000 a day for the sun and to many people died from that. Finally, there was the disease theory. When the Spaniards came with Cortes they carried diseases and when they spread millions of Aztecs died from them. Those are some theories of how the Aztecs could have died. Now they are referred as Mexicans, mostly because they were renamed.

What happened to Aztec's extinction?
The Aztecs never went extinct. The Spaniards did however end their reign of power through a combination of religious, psychological, linguistic, and germ warfare. The Aztecs had no natural defense against these diseases, which were the main cause for their downfall. In total, European diseases and slavery wiped out 90% of America's Native population, which was equivalent to 10% of planet Earth's population. Much greater then the entire continent of Europe. The Aztecs did not die out however, they just became ruled by the Spaniards. In addition, the Aztecs did not call themselves 'Aztecs', they called themselves Mexicas. The modern day Mexicans are either full blooded Aztecs, Mayans, Zapotec, Mixtec, or Meztiso (of mixed blood). Spanish only comprises of 10% of Mexico's population. The Aztecs are still alive and festivals are held to this day. Although Mexicans speak Spanish, the majority of them are natives. Some in fact still speak their native Mexica language of Nahuatl. The true language of the Mexicans.

Why was Cortés arrives in Tenochtitlan so important to history?
Cortes' arrival in Tenochtitlan is so important in history because it shows the cause of why/how he destroyed the empire of the Aztecs. His arrival was the cause of the decline of Tenochtitlan and their people. Although he did not have that much men, he was able to kill all the Natives there because he had better weapons (guns...), horses, armor, horses, and diseases. Although they did not know it, the Spanish had diseases. They had already become immune to the diseases because they've been around for so long, but the Natives had not immunization against the diseases. This was another reason to the decline of Tenochtitlan. This is why Cortes' arrival in Tenochtilan was so important in history.
