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.
