When Cortes appears at the Aztecs empire, they believe that he is the god, Quetzalcoatl but he is truly an enemy that is out to destroy the Aztec Empire. Anyway, the Aztecs welcome the Spanish with food, and with a place to stay that lines the entire city giving an easy way to defeat the Aztecs.
Yes the Aztecs welcomed the spanish with gifts
The Spanish had guns and the Aztecs did not.
That's because they saw Mr. Hernan Cortes as a god, due to their god was supposed to arrive that year.
the spanish thought of the aztecs as slaves
The Aztecs initially welcomed Cortes with gifts and gold because they believed he might be the returning deity Quetzalcoatl. They also hoped to form an alliance with the Spanish against their enemies.
the Spanish gave small pox to the Aztecs.
The technology of the Spanish greatly exceeded the Aztecs. The Spanish were shooting bullets, the Aztecs were throwing stones, no contest.
The Aztecs had gold.
They both have lived on Mexican land. The Aztecs before the Spanish wiped them out and then the Spanish lived there after they had wiped out the Aztecs lol
the Aztecs lost to the Spanish because the Spanish had better weapons like the gun.
The Spanish invaded the Aztecs Empire. Some Aztecs joined forces with the Spanish. Together, they fought the other Aztecs and tried to overthrow their Aztec emperor, Moctezuma. They had long, hard battles. Diseases spread to the Aztecs and killed many of them. in 1521, the Aztecs surrendered to the Spanish.
im guessing because the spanish tried to trick the Aztecs
