Who is the Conquerer of the Aztecs?

Answer 1

Hernán Cortés was the Spanish conquistador who defeated Aztec leader's Xicotencatl the Younger's forces at Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec empire. They fought from February 1519 until the Spanish victory on August 13, 1521.

Answer 2

Hernán Cortés (1485-1547) encountered the Aztecs in 1519, and although the Spanish were initially treated as "gods" by the natives, they soon had to militarily defeat them. By August, 1521, after losing hundreds of men and needing reinforcements from Cuba, Cortes completed the conquest of the Aztecs empire and ruled Mexico until 1524.

Answer 3

So we stood looking about us, or that huge and cursed temple stood so high that from it one could see over everything very well, and we saw the three causeways which led into Mexico, that is the causeway of Iztapalapa by which we had entered four days before, and that of Tacuba, and that of Tepeaquilla, and we saw the fresh water that comes from Chapultepec which supplies the city, and we saw the bridges on the three causeways which were built at certain distances apart through which the water of the lake flowed in and out from one side to the other, and we beheld on that great lake a great multitude of canoes, some coming with supplies of food and others returning loaded with cargoes or merchandise; and we saw that from every house of that great city and of all the other cities that were built in the water it was impossible to pass from house to house, except by drawbridges which were made of wood or in canoes; and we saw in those cities Cues [temples] and oratories like towers and fortresses and all gleaming white, and it was a wonderful thing to behold; then the houses with flat roofs, and on the causeways other small towers and oratories which were like fortresses.

After having examined and considered all that we had seen we turned to look at the great market place and the crowds of people that were in it, some buying and others selling, so that the murmur and hum of their voices and words that they used could be heard more than a league off. Some of the soldiers among us who had been in many parts of the world, in Constantinople, and all over Italy, and in Rome, said that so large a market place and so full of people, and so well regulated and arranged, they had never beheld before.
