Hernán Cortés sailed to the New World in 1519, leading an expedition that ultimately resulted in the fall of the Aztec Empire. He made several voyages during his lifetime, but his most notable expedition occurred between 1519 and 1521. Cortés returned to Spain in 1528, and his later voyages were less significant in historical impact.
