The conquistadors were Spanish explorers and soldiers who played a pivotal role in the Spanish colonization of the Americas during the 15th and 16th centuries. Notable figures like Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro led expeditions that resulted in the conquest of vast territories, including the Aztec Empire in present-day Mexico and the Inca Empire in Peru. Their accomplishments not only expanded Spain's empire significantly but also facilitated the spread of Spanish culture, language, and Christianity in the New World, while also leading to profound and often devastating impacts on indigenous populations.
