Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortes' was able to defeat Montezuma and the Aztec empire by the use of force and with the help of native tribes who had been conquered by the Aztecs. Cortes' soldiers also had firearms that destroyed Aztec warriors. Montezuma had been disgraced when he was captured by Cortes.
The Spanish had superior weaponry to the Aztecs, and were aided by rival tribes who resented Aztec rule. The primary reason may have been the effect of the diseases spread to the Aztecs by the Spanish. Lacking any immunity to these diseases, many of the Aztecs became seriously ill or died.

in what year? cause it all depends on then because when they were conquering the aztecs they were always in a tight formation and had muskets and swords and horses
The Aztecs had made many enemies because they would send out raiding parties to take prisoners for sacrifices. These rival tribes of the Aztecs would later help the Spanish conquistadors take out the Aztecs.
The only significant disadvantage the Spanish conquistadors faced was the fact that they didn't know the land/geography as well as the Aztecs did. The Aztecs faced far more graver disadvantages like disease, lack of advanced weaponry, etc.
1. They were more advanced. 2. They had better weapons and were better armored. 3. They had the help of nearby tribes that hated the Aztecs. 4. They brought over disease that the Aztecs did not have cures for.
