Spanish Millitary superiority.
Well first of all the Aztecs had inferior weapons to the Spanish soldiers, the Spanish guns still were not working as well as we would think so the weapon that was the most important one was the sword. The Aztecs thought that Hernando Cortés was Quetzalcoatl, their god that was coming back to Tenochtitlán so they just allowed him to get into the city. The neighbours of the Aztecs were angry at them for all of the taxes that they had to pay so they helped the Spanish in their was against the Aztecs.
it had killed most of them.
Aztecs were believed to be of about 5'8" on average and where taller than most native american peoples and spanish as well
The Spanish had horses, guns, swords, and cannon while the Aztecs still used hand weapons and spears. They also had the backing from tribes who disliked the Aztecs, such as the Talaxcala. However the defeat of the Aztecs and the downfall of Tenochtitlan was mainly due to the ravages of disease. Most of the population of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, were wiped out by the diseases the Spanish brought, to which the natives had no immunity.
Montezuma was best known as a Aztec leader at the time of the Spanish conquest.
Iron weapons and horses.However most of the conquest was caused inadvertently by diseases the the Spanish brought to the new world with them to which the indigenous people had no natural immunity.
