Christopher landed in the Bahamas with his crew. He also found people who he named the Indians. But he was really in the Americas. Not the Indies.  Christopher Columbus had supposedly " discovered" America/ the U.S.A, but a viking found it 500 years before him. Christopher wasn't the first person to reach America but "Christopher was important to the colonization of the America's". He talked to the king and queen for 2 years trying to convince them to let him go on his voyage, and the Santa Maria. He and his crew spread diseases to the Americans there.

Cortes left Cuba to explore mexico. Cortes started to think that you could obtain more riches on  main land than on the Caribbean island. When he arrived with 500 men, he went toward the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan. He Also told his crew to burn the ships because there was no retreating from the island. A man laughed a the statement and was killed by Cortes. He also had lots of greed at that time and wanted to invade the Aztecs for spices and gold.  A way he got in was that many were unhappy with their city for sacrificing people to the gods

Cortes invaded and captured the Aztec leader and caused a panic around the Aztec civilization. He did this easily because the Aztecs though the Spanish were gods. This was the end of many in the Civilization including The leader Montezuma II.
