Cortes had many advantages over the Aztecs. He had guns, steel armor, and help from the natives that the Aztec had conquered. He also, unknowingly spread diseases that Europeans had immunities for but Aztecs did not.
Several tribes, especially in the coastal areas had suffered badly by the Aztecs. And they welcomed the chance to go against them. Cortes did not have to do much convincing. After defeating one tribe known as being very fierce, even the Spaniards were outnumbered one to 40, many tribes just offered themselves as allies to Cortes. Also he had the great help of a very intelligent native woman, the Malinge.

Cortes found allies against the Aztecs among the many conquered and oppressed Central American tribes. They were happy to help, as the Aztecs had a habit of taking war prisoners and sacrificing them to the gods, as well as forcing conquered enemies to pay ridiculously high tributes, which were sort of like taxes.
You mean Hernan Cortes? At the time, the Tlaxcalans were a smaller tribe in central Mexico; they were bitter enemies of the Aztecs, so Cortes effortlessly recruited their help to subdue the Aztec Empire. Also, with the help of iron armor, gunpowder weaponry and diseases such as smallpox, the Spanish were able to defeat the Aztecs and effectively conquer Mexico on August 13, 1521.

When Hernan Cortes first arrived in Tenochtitlan in 1519, Moctezuma, the ruler of the Aztecs, agreed to let Cortes stay. However, a year later, in 1520, the Aztecs rose and threw Cortes out of the city. Later on, Moctezuma was killed, most probably by the Aztecs. Later on, in 1521, Cortes came back with his army, and he defeated the Aztecs with the help of: Metal armor Smallpox (people think that more than 1,000 Aztecs died because of Smallpox) Muskets Horses (the Aztecs had never seen horses before, and they got frightened) Allies
