Hernán Cortés was a Spanish conquistador best known for leading the expedition that resulted in the fall of the Aztec Empire in Mexico. Born in 1485 in Medellín, Spain, he initially sought wealth and adventure in the New World. Cortés is notorious for his brutal tactics and alliances with indigenous groups, which helped him defeat the Aztecs in 1521. His actions significantly contributed to the Spanish colonization of the Americas and the subsequent cultural changes in the region.
