Why was the Aztec empire destroyed?

Answer 1

Because Hernan Cortez and his conquistadors with the help of rival tribes of the Aztecs conquered them for the gold and treasures of the Aztecs.

Answer 2

The Aztec empire was destroyed by a combination of factors. One major factor was the arrival of Spanish conquistadors led by Hernán Cortés, who brought advanced weapons and diseases that devastated the Aztec population. Additionally, the Aztecs faced internal rebellions from their subjected allies who allied themselves with the Spanish and further weakened the empire. Ultimately, a combination of military force, disease, and internal unrest led to the downfall of the Aztec empire.
