When the conquistadors, led by Hernán Cortés, arrived in Tenochtitlan in 1519, they were astounded by the city's grandeur and sophistication. The impressive architecture, advanced infrastructure, and bustling markets contrasted sharply with their European cities. Many conquistadors viewed the Aztec civilization with a mix of admiration and greed, seeing it as an opportunity for wealth and conquest. This initial awe quickly turned to hostility as tensions rose, leading to violent confrontations.
