Who are people conquered by Cortes?

Hernán Cortés conquered the Aztec Empire, primarily composed of the Mexica people, in the early 16th century. His expedition led to the fall of Tenochtitlán, the Aztec capital, in 1521. The conquest involved various indigenous groups, some of whom allied with Cortés against the Aztecs due to resentment towards their rule. The impact of the conquest was significant, leading to widespread colonization and cultural transformation in the region.
