#2 Cortes had horses and guns but the Aztecs didn't, the Aztecs didn't want to fight because the Aztecs thought Cortes and his army were gods because they had armor and they were on horses and armor on horses. But the explorers went to the new world for more resources like gold, silver, wood, or animals!
Using some of our background knowledge is Cortes convinced a lot of the Aztecs to join him so that way he knew a lot about the Aztecs plan.

#3 Cortes conquered the Aztecs with diseases such as Smallpox, Mumps, Measles and other diseases and the Aztecs leader died and didn't know what to do because the leader commands the Aztecs what to do and then the Aztecs died from smallpox. About 5-8 million Aztecs died from smallpox because the Spanish spread the diseases from animals like goats, pigs, cows, and sheep.
