The Aztec Empire, under the rule of Montezuma II, was invaded and ultimately destroyed by Spanish conquistadors led by Hernán Cortés in the early 16th century. In 1519, Cortés arrived in Mexico, forming alliances with local tribes discontented with Aztec rule. Montezuma was taken captive, and the combination of military conquest, disease, and internal strife led to the fall of Tenochtitlán in 1521, marking the end of the Aztec Empire.
