Hernán Cortés was a Spanish Conquistador best known for leading the expedition that resulted in the fall of the Aztec Empire in Mexico. Born in 1485 in Medellín, Spain, he arrived in the New World in 1504 and eventually became the governor of New Spain. His conquest of the Aztecs began in 1519, marked by both military strategy and alliances with local tribes. Cortés' actions had a profound impact on the indigenous populations and the course of Spanish colonization in the Americas.
