The predecessor of Hernán Cortés in the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire was Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar, the governor of Cuba. Velázquez initially appointed Cortés to lead an expedition to explore the mainland of Mexico but later revoked his support due to concerns about Cortés's ambitions. Despite this, Cortés proceeded with the expedition, ultimately leading to the fall of the Aztec Empire.
