Cortes took the leader for ransom.
Cortes did not take over the Incas; he took over the Aztecs under Montezuma II.
Aztec Emperor Montezuma II believed Hernan Cortes was the god Queztacoaltl, but he was wrong and Cortes took him prisoner and the Aztec Empire fell to Spain.
Hernán Cortés took Montezuma prisoner to gain control over the Aztec Empire and leverage his authority to subdue the indigenous population. By capturing the emperor, Cortés aimed to destabilize the Aztec political structure and use Montezuma as a puppet leader, thereby facilitating Spanish conquest. This strategy was also intended to prevent a united resistance against the Spanish forces, as Montezuma was a revered figure among the Aztecs.

No, he took Montezuma hostage
Cortes never took over Cuba.
The first time he attacked the Aztecs, he took advantage of Montezuma's (Aztec leader) hospitality, taking him prisoner. This led to Hernan Cortes controlling the Aztecs, until they rebelled, finally forcing Hernan Cortes out. Cortes then waited for more Spanish troops to arrive, and when they did, going back to attack the Aztecs, but this time completely demolishing their city of Tenochtitlan.
