The experience of the Aztecs under Hernán Cortés was marked by conflict, violence, and significant upheaval. Initially, Cortés formed alliances with some indigenous groups opposed to the Aztec Empire, but his arrival ultimately led to the fall of Tenochtitlán in 1521. The Aztecs faced brutal warfare, disease brought by Europeans, and the imposition of Spanish culture and religion, which drastically altered their way of life. This period marked the beginning of colonial rule, resulting in profound social, political, and economic changes for the indigenous population.
