Who conquered the Myans?

The Maya civilization was not conquered by a single entity but rather faced invasions from various Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century. Notably, Hernán Cortés led the conquest of the Aztec Empire, while Pedro de Alvarado and other Spanish forces were responsible for subduing various Maya city-states. The conquest was marked by violent battles, alliances with rival groups, and the impact of disease, which devastated the indigenous population. The conquest was gradual, occurring over several decades rather than in a single event.
