The Aztecs initially accepted the conquistadors, led by Hernán Cortés, due to a combination of factors, including the belief that they were divine or semi-divine beings. Cortés and his men arrived shortly after the Aztecs experienced a series of omens and disasters, leading some to interpret the arrival of the Spaniards as a fulfillment of prophecy. Additionally, the Aztecs were intrigued by the advanced technology and horses of the conquistadors, which contributed to their initial trust and hospitality. This miscalculation ultimately facilitated the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire.
