#1   Cortes got convinced that if he can conquer the Aztecs he could obtain more riches than was possible. So, like any other explorer out there in the past he was greedy. The Aztecs were wealthy in many ways and more advanced than any part of Europe. He was convinced that he could get more riches on the mainland than was possible by staying were he was.

#1 Cortes got motivated by the gold and wealth and natural resources that the Aztecs were provided. Also Pizarro had a book that Cortes had found and used it to help him take over because it had all sorts of battle strategies.  He also went there he thought he could obtain more riches on main land than on Caribbean islands.

#2 One reason Cortes was able to take over is that one of his soldiers had Smallpox which contaminated an Aztec who looted his body. The Inca contaminated more Aztecs and killed 25% of the population(5-8 million). Cortes could easily go and capture them. Also Cortes and his men had silver weapons, guns, and horses. Another reason is the Aztecs were brutal and sacrificed many Cortes, which lead Aztecs to join Cortes and his army to fight their own kind. He also captured Montezuma and made the Aztecs panic. Lastly the Aztecs did not fight back at the start because the thought the Spanish were gods. This gave the Spanish a huge advantage.

#3 Cortes affected the Aztecs by Making them almost wiped out. He changed the development of new world by making all that space ours.

#1 Cortes was convinced that he could obtain riches like gold on the mainland. The Aztecs were brutal and often sacrificed many lives so many people were ready to overthrow Aztec empire.  The Aztecs did not have mobility (horses), guns or steel so, it gave Cortez a big advantage.
#2 The Aztecs thought that Cortez and his army were gods, resulting in them not fighting at first. Cortez had horses, guns, and swords. The Aztecs were just experimenting with bronze, and had no knowledge of steel putting them at a disadvantage. Cortez captured  Moctezuma (the Aztec leader) making the civilians panic. Also, the Aztecs sacrificed many people making the cities like the powerful city-state Tlaxcala did not like the religion and fought with Cortez against the Aztecs. When Cortez went to fight the Spanish people who came to arrest Cortez there was a slave with smallpox. One of Cortez's men contracted the disease and when the Aztecs killed that soldier when they looted the body they caught smallpox. Smallpox raged through the Aztec community and killed 5-8 million people (Aztecs) including high ranked generals and the emperor.
Once the only city was left (the one on the water) the Aztecs were being killed by starvation.
#3 When Cortes defeated the Aztecs, it gained good land and opportunities for the Spanish. Opportunities gained for the Spanish are that when Cortes defeated the empire he was made the ruler behalf from Spain. This way he was able to help Spain in any way he wanted so it was a great benefit. Also with the land more people had opportunities to live a better life.

The news traveled on to Cortes so he went to meet the ship and one of Cortes 's man got small pox from the Latin slave and when the man died it spread on to the Aztecs.The Aztecs lost 5,000,000 to 8,000,000 soldiers due to smallpox.
