In a very abridged version, with the use of guns and germs.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ all wrong!!

well actually the aztec calendar said that there were going to be a god named "Malintzin". It was predicted that the god would have "white skin and come in with great wings". So they treated Cortes and his people as gods. Later on Cortes was treated as roalty. He was now friends with the king of the aztecs Montezuma. But Cortes held Montezuma captive so the aztecs would give him gold and jewelery. So montezuma went out to the crowd to calm them down but then got hit by a rock and died. So now Cortes was in trouble and had to get out. Only half of his men (including) himself made it out. Later on they went back and took over with more guys, guns, and other weapons. He new if he captured montezuma then he could get what ever he wanted. But his plan back fired. But he went back and conquerd the aztec empire!!
