The famous explorer who burned all his ships to prevent his men from turning back was Hernán Cortés. In 1519, upon arriving in Mexico, he ordered the destruction of his ships to eliminate any possibility of retreat, thereby forcing his troops to commit fully to their conquest of the Aztec Empire. This drastic decision symbolized his determination and leadership in the face of overwhelming challenges.
