The Aztecs initially did not oppose the European conquerors due to a combination of factors, including the belief that the Spanish might be divine or fulfill prophecies about gods returning. Additionally, the Aztec Empire was weakened by internal strife, such as political rivalries and the effects of smallpox, which decimated their population. The Spaniards also formed alliances with rival city-states that opposed the Aztecs, further undermining their strength and resistance. These factors contributed to the relatively swift conquest despite the Aztecs' initial military capabilities.
