The Aztec king believed that Herman Cortes was a god. Therefore, when Cortes arrived, instead of trying to fight him and his men, they were lavished with gifts, food and allowed into the city. They realized much too late that Cortes was not a god and by the time they tried to fight him off, he already had a significant and crippling advantage.

In 1519, Cortes met Moctezuma. The King gave lavish gifts of gold to the Spanish, but unfortunately this simply excited their desire to plunder. Cortes allegedly first kidnapped the Aztec King, then forced him to serve as a puppet while Cortes ruled the Aztecs. In 1520 Moctezuma was killed. Though the reason is disputed, locals claimed this was due to Moctezuma's inability to placate the locals.
Hernan Cortes was sponsored by the Spanish Crown, specifically King Charles I of Spain. Cortes led the expedition to conquer the Aztec Empire in the early 16th century.
