Cortes and his men had several advantages over the Aztecs, including superior weaponry, such as firearms and steel swords, which outmatched the Aztec weapons made of obsidian. They also benefited from the presence of horses, which provided mobility and psychological intimidation. Additionally, Cortes formed alliances with various indigenous groups who were enemies of the Aztecs, bolstering his numbers and local knowledge.
