Why did La Malince willing to help Cortes conquer the Aztec?
Dona Marina or La Malinche was quick to help Cortez because at the time of arrival there was no Pan-Indian identity within the people's of central Mexico. No one owed allegiance to the Aztecs but were under their rule because they had been dominated by them. La Malinche thought that it would be good for her tribe to help the Spanish because they seemed like the perfect people to defeat the Aztec empire and hopefully free the tribes from their rule. Also it is worthy to point out that she may have also thought that he was Quetzalcoatl was well. In the legend Quetzalcoatl was banished and said that one day he would return to rule over the people of this land, this faith in the legend and Cortez appearing and looking like Quetzalcoatl seemed to also push Dona Marina to helping Cortez defeat the Aztecs.
