The Spaniard responsible for conquering the Aztec Empire was Hernán Cortés. He led an expedition in 1519 that ultimately resulted in the fall of Tenochtitlán, the Aztec capital, in 1521. Cortés leveraged alliances with local tribes and used superior weaponry, along with the spread of diseases, to defeat the Aztecs. His conquest laid the foundation for Spanish colonization in Mexico.
