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.

They were much stronger. The Aztecs, at first, thought the arriving Spaniards were "people of Heaven". However, after the Spanish leader Cortes murdered their king and started looting all the wealth, primarily gold. Despite the Aztec's sophisticated society, they were no match for the conquistadors. Along with the Spanish conquistadors "conquerors" came missionaries, in an attempt to convert the Aztecs. Not long after the the Spanish arrived, the Aztec population was reduced to 10%. Simply put, the Aztecs were no match for the Spanish.
