Why was Cortes able to conquer Mexico when they were so outnumbered?
There is a common misconception that Cortes alone annihilated the Aztecs with superior weaponry and a false belief that he was "Quetzalcoatl reincarnated"; the truth is the Aztecs knew he was a man, but he made an alliance with the Tlaxcalan nation, who were bitter enemies of the Aztecs and provided more than 100,000 warriors to help Cortes during his conquest. Also, when contact was made, inadvertently someone from Cortes' crew started an epidemic of smallpox that utterly ravaged the Aztec homeland; it is stated that from a population of 20 million in 1518, after 1521 there were only 2 million people living in Mexico. After such event, the Spanish found relatively easy to mow down the remaining Aztec forces.
The Aztecs established in the Valley of Mexico, near Lake Texcoco. They built their first temples in Tenochtitlan which was in the middle of lake Texcoco which is now modern day Mexico City. They were a warrior based culture, and continued to conquer and expand. At one point their empire spread throughout most of of Mexico. It is believed that they may have even gone as far north as what is now known as the southwestern United States.
