In 1517, the Hernando Cortes was on a mission in he Yucatan Peninsula and had heard of an amazing civilization and sought to find and conquer it! Cortes took 600 soldiers and was determined. When the Spanish arrived in Tenochtitlan, the Aztecs were stunned and thought they were gods. Unfortunately, the Aztecs were wrong and Cortes, being a very sneaky and clever man, was making allies with the Aztecs enemies while pretending to be friends with them. When the Aztecs figured out about what Cortes was really here to do, they had set up a revolt. The Spanish had fled but they came back even stronger, and the Aztecs were weaker due to disease. In the end, 5he Spanish had won due to the leadership of Cortes, the Spanish weapons, and Aztec struggles.
