Hernán Cortés defeated Moctezuma II through a combination of military strategy, alliances with indigenous tribes, and the element of surprise. Cortés capitalized on existing rivalries among indigenous groups, securing support from tribes like the Tlaxcalans who opposed Aztec rule. Additionally, the use of superior weaponry and tactics, along with the psychological impact of his men’s horses and armor, played a crucial role in the conquest. Ultimately, the capture of Moctezuma and the subsequent siege of Tenochtitlán led to the fall of the Aztec Empire.
