What were the acts of Hernan Cortes in 1519.?

Answer 1

In 1519, Hernán Cortés led an expedition from Cuba to the mainland of Mexico, where he encountered the Aztec Empire. He established alliances with various indigenous groups who were discontented with Aztec rule and began to gather troops. Cortés also famously captured the Aztec emperor Montezuma II and ultimately laid siege to the capital city of Tenochtitlan, leading to its fall in 1521. His actions initiated the Spanish conquest of Mexico and had profound impacts on the indigenous populations and the history of the region.
