Detailed explanation-1: -The Spanish campaign against the Aztec Empire had its final victory on 13 August 1521, when a coalition army of Spanish forces and native Tlaxcalan warriors led by Cortés and Xicotencatl the Younger captured the emperor Cuauhtémoc and Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tenochtitlán, the capital city of the Aztec Empire, flourished between A.D. 1325 and 1521-but was defeated less than two years after the arrival of Spanish invaders led by Cortés.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Spanish were able to defeat the Aztec and the Inca not only because they had horses, dogs, guns, and swords, but also because they brought with them germs that made many native Americans sick. Diseases like smallpox and measles were unknown among the natives; therefore, they had no immunity to them.
