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.
