Cortés Conquers the Aztecs European rulers wanted explorers to find riches to bring back to Europe. Hernán Cortés led an expedition to Mexico in 1519. His ships carried more than 500 conquistadors with horses and weapons. They wanted fame and riches. Cortés had heard about the Aztecs. The Aztecs ruled an empire that covered much of present-day Mexico. Its capital city, Tenochtitlán, was beautiful and huge. It was twice as big as any European city. The Aztec ruler, Moctezuma, welcomed Cortés, but Moctezuma soon sent the Spaniards away. The conquistadors were greedy for gold. Cortés got help from neighboring Indian nations that had been conquered by the Aztecs. His soldiers had horses and weapons and the Aztecs did not. Contact with the Spanish had infected the Aztec army with disease and made the Aztecs weak. Cortés defeated them. In 1535, Spain controlled the Aztec empire and named it New Spain. After Cortés, conquistadors explored Central and South America to find gold and treasure. Pizarro conquered the Inca empire in South Americas in the 1530s.
Tribute was extremely important to the Aztecs for three reasons. First, it kept their capital and the people around alive. Because the population was so big and based upon the fact that the capital was on an island in the middle of a lake, the surrounding ground could not support the people. However, tribute could and did. Secondly, the Aztec empire extraction of tribute kept the conquered cities under control. In a way, it limited their economies and kept them lower than the capital and that was good. Finally, tribute and the threat of retalitation by the military was enough to keep the conquered under control but still allow them to keep their traditions and government mostly intact. This promoted peace and obedience to the Aztec empire.

The three main reasons for Spanish exploration were to find new trade routes to Asia, to spread Christianity to indigenous populations, and to expand Spanish territories and influence in the Americas.
Nick Shepherd caused all three of these.
The three main factors that helped the Aztecs build an empire were: their strategic military alliances and conquests, their sophisticated agricultural practices that supported a large population, and their efficient tribute system that extracted resources from conquered territories.
