Hernán Cortés burned his ships in 1519 shortly after arriving on the coast of Mexico. This decisive action was meant to prevent his men from retreating and to solidify their commitment to the conquest of the Aztec Empire. By eliminating the option of returning home, Cortés aimed to inspire his troops to push forward and succeed in their mission.
He assisted in the conquest of Cuba, then moved on to Mexico. After that conquest, he moved down central america.
The Spanish destroyed Tenochtitlan by having a war for 3 months inside the city. The biggest thing that brought them down, however, was smallpox that the Aztecs were not immuned to.
Cortes is imporant because he lead people to the new world to start with and even though he burn down a whole civilization he still strted a new one there. He also helped connect with the indiana groups in mexioc.
