Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés (c. 1485-1547) is best known for conquering the Aztecs and claiming Mexico on behalf of Spain. Cortés ignored the order and traveled to Mexico anyway, setting his sights on overthrowing ruler Montezuma II in the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan.
Q. What did the Aztec do that caused them to flee?
Faced with an Aztec revolt against their rule, forces under the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés fight their way out of Tenochtitlan at heavy cost. The conquered peoples resented the Aztec demands for tribute and victims for the religious sacrifices, but the Aztec military kept rebellion at bay.
Q. How did Hernan Cortes defeat the Aztecs?
Spanish conquistadores commanded by Hernán Cortés allied with local tribes to conquer the Aztec capital city of Tenochtitlán. Cortés’s army besieged Tenochtitlán for 93 days, and a combination of superior weaponry and a devastating smallpox outbreak enabled the Spanish to conquer the city.
Q. Why it was so easy for Cortes and his men to conquer the mighty Aztec empire?
The Aztecs no longer trusted Montezuma, they were short on food, and the smallpox epidemic was under way. More than 3 million Aztecs died from smallpox, and with such a severely weakened population, it was easy for the Spanish to take Tenochtitlán.
Q. How did the Spanish treat the Aztecs?
The Spanish had a positive effect on Aztec civilization because they helped modernize the society. They introduced the Aztecs to domestic animals, sugar, grains, and European farming practices. Most significantly, the Spanish ended the Aztec’s practice of human sacrifice.
Q. Did the Spanish use guns against Aztecs?
The natives did have some success with missile weapons, using slings to launch stones at the conquistadors. The Aztecs relied on the atlatl, which propelled javelins or darts at enemy soldiers. Spanish conquistadors used this to their advantage, making their invasions much easier and their influence much greater.
Q. Why did the Spanish have guns but the Incas did not?
Like mentioned before, they had more access to guns and the technology because they were closer to the Fertile Crescent than the Incas. While the Americas were isolated and had no knowledge about steel, the Europeans got the knowledge of steel because of the Fertile Crescent’s knowledge spreading through the lands.
