Why did Montezuma welcome Cortes into his Aztec homeland?
Montezuma/Moctezuma II had gone pretty insane and was obsessed with the supernatural. When Cortés arrived in 1519, Moctezuma was immediately informed and he sent emissaries to meet the newcomers. As the Spaniards approached Tenochtitlan they made an alliance with the Tlaxcalteca, who were enemies of the Aztec Triple Alliance, and they helped instigate revolt in many towns under Aztec dominion. Moctezuma was aware of this and he sent gifts to the Spaniards, probably in order to show his superiority to the Spaniards and Tlaxcalteca.On November 8, 1519, Moctezuma met Cortés on the causeway leading into Tenochtitlan and the two leaders exchanged gifts. Moctezuma brought Cortés to his palace where the Spaniards lived as his guests for several months. Moctezuma continued to govern his empire and even undertook conquests of new territory during the Spaniards' stay at Tenochtitlan.To sum it all up, he must've known the Spaniards had superior weaponry and thought that to keep his empire, he had to establish diplomatic relations with them. Big mistake.
