True. The Aztecs initially mistook Hernán Cortés for the god Quetzalcoatl due to a prophecy that predicted the return of the deity. Cortés arrived in 1519, coinciding with the timing of this prophecy, and his arrival on the coast was seen as a fulfillment of it. This misunderstanding played a significant role in the Aztecs' initial reception of Cortés and his men.
Hernán Cortés is best known for leading the Spanish expedition that resulted in the fall of the Aztec Empire in 1521. One significant event was his arrival on the Mexican coast in 1519, where he made alliances with local tribes discontented with Aztec rule. Another key moment was the capture of Tenochtitlán, the Aztec capital, after a protracted siege. Lastly, Cortés's encounter with the Aztec emperor Montezuma II highlighted the complex dynamics of power and culture during the conquest.
In 1523, several significant events occurred across Europe and beyond. In Sweden, Gustav Vasa was elected king, marking the end of the Kalmar Union and the establishment of Swedish independence.

Additionally, the Protestant Reformation was gaining momentum, with Martin Luther's ideas continuing to spread throughout Germany and other parts of Europe.
