Hernán Cortés is most famous for leading the Spanish expedition that resulted in the fall of the Aztec Empire in the early 16th century. His conquest of Mexico began in 1519 and culminated in 1521, significantly expanding Spanish territory in the Americas. Cortés is also known for his controversial methods, including alliances with indigenous tribes and the use of military force, which have led to a complex legacy regarding colonization and its impacts on native populations.
