Hernán Cortés took several key items on his voyage to Mexico, including weapons such as swords, crossbows, and firearms to assert military dominance. He also brought horses, which were crucial for transportation and cavalry tactics. Additionally, he carried supplies for the expedition, such as food, tools, and navigational instruments, along with a small contingent of soldiers and sailors to support his conquest efforts. These preparations laid the groundwork for his eventual encounter with the Aztec Empire.
