What Contributed to the fall of the Aztec empire?
The Spanish had many more new weapons and there technology was way more advanced than the Aztec's. Also the Aztecs were very spiritual and they believed that a god who was the leader of the throne but was banished said he would come back to re claim his throne. So Montezuma the leader of the Aztecs was scared so he gave the Spanish gold, food, slaves and water.
Why did the Aztecs think Cortes was a god?
The Aztec thought Cortes was a god because Montezuma saw the picture on the stone that is exactly look like the god of the Aztecan. But when Montezuma noticed that he wasn't a god because he's bleeding so that make him a fraud because gods don't bleed.
Why was Herman Cortes welcome so warmly by the Aztec people?
The OFFICIAL Answer: Hernan Cortes was welcomed because when he entered, he rode on horses. The Aztecs though of horses as religious. So, the Aztec Empire, Montezuma, believed that he and his men were Gods.
How did Montezuma greet Cortes?
The Aztecs had a revelation that one of their gods, Quetzalcoatl, would return from exile in the east with white skin and a full beard in the year 1519. Coincedentally, Cortes fulfilled all of these conditions so montezuma though he was qutzalcoatl. because of this, montezma warmly welcomed Cortes and gave Cortes lots of gold, silver, and other valuables
How was Cortes able to conquer the Aztec empire?
In a very abridged version, with the use of guns and germs.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ all wrong!!well actually the aztec calendar said that there were going to be a god named "Malintzin". It was predicted that the god would have "white skin and come in with great wings". So they treated Cortes and his people as gods. Later on Cortes was treated as roalty. He was now friends with the king of the aztecs Montezuma. But Cortes held Montezuma captive so the aztecs would give him gold and jewelery. So montezuma went out to the crowd to calm them down but then got hit by a rock and died. So now Cortes was in trouble and had to get out. Only half of his men (including) himself made it out. Later on they went back and took over with more guys, guns, and other weapons. He new if he captured montezuma then he could get what ever he wanted. But his plan back fired. But he went back and conquerd the aztec empire!!Read more: Discuss:What_are_reasons_Hernando_Cortes_was_able_to_conquer_the_Aztec_empire
