Who was conquered by Cortes?

Answer 1

Hernán Cortés conquered the Aztec Empire, led by Emperor Moctezuma II, during the early 16th century. His expedition, which began in 1519, culminated in the fall of Tenochtitlán in 1521, largely due to a combination of military strategy, alliances with rival indigenous groups, and the impact of European diseases. The conquest marked a significant moment in the Spanish colonization of the Americas.
