Montezuma II was the ninth emperor of the Aztec Empire, reigning from 1502 to 1520. He is best known for his encounters with Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés, who arrived in Mexico in 1519. Initially, Montezuma welcomed Cortés, believing him to be a returning god, but this led to his eventual capture and death, likely due to violence and betrayal during the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlán in 1520. His fate marked a significant turning point in the fall of the Aztec Empire.
