When Cortes got to Mexico, he tricked the Aztecs into giving him gold. They gave him plenty of gold because they hoped that they would leave. Then, Hernando Cortes heard about a new tribe coming called the Tlaxcalan. They left Tenochtitlan to capture them. They did. On their way back to Tenochtitlan, Velasquez was coming for Cortes to arrest him. They defeated them and used the remains of the armies to capture Montezuma (their King) and made him talk to the Aztecs. The Aztecs were angry and killed Montezuma. The conquistadors had a war with the Aztecs. The Aztecs lost the war and was defeated. Then Cortes left for California.
