Montezuma II was considered a puppet leader by some historians because he ruled over the Aztec Empire during a time of significant external pressure and internal strife, particularly from Spanish conquistadors led by Hernán Cortés. His reliance on diplomacy and attempts to placate the Spanish, rather than outright resistance, led to perceptions that he was not fully in control of his empire. Additionally, the influence of powerful nobles and the challenges posed by rival city-states further diminished his authority, making him appear as a figurehead rather than a strong sovereign.

Montezuma was the Aztec leader/ Emperor
Hernán Cortés took Montezuma prisoner to gain control over the Aztec Empire and leverage his authority to subdue the indigenous population. By capturing the emperor, Cortés aimed to destabilize the Aztec political structure and use Montezuma as a puppet leader, thereby facilitating Spanish conquest. This strategy was also intended to prevent a united resistance against the Spanish forces, as Montezuma was a revered figure among the Aztecs.
