Montezuma II did not attack Hernán Cortés primarily due to his initial belief that Cortés and his men were divine or semi-divine beings, possibly the return of the god Quetzalcoatl. This misconception led him to adopt a diplomatic approach, hoping to appease the Spaniards rather than confront them militarily. Additionally, the Aztec Empire was facing internal strife and dissent, which may have weakened Montezuma's resolve to engage in direct conflict. Ultimately, his indecision and reliance on prophecy contributed to his failure to take decisive action against the invaders.
