Home > Timelines > Hernan Cortes Timeline Hernan Cortes Timeline Timeline Description: Hernan Cortes was an explorer who eventually defeated the Aztec people and brought Mexico under Spanish rule. This is a timeline of his life.
200,000 people, the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, was larger than any European capital at that time. It was also a city of great wealth. In 1519, a Spanish explorer named Hernan Cortes led a fleet of ships from Cuba to the east coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Rumors of gold had led him there. When the Aztec emperor Montezuma II learned of Cortesâ arrival, he sent gifts to him and his men. Montezumaâs lavish gifts aroused Cortesâ interest, so he found a translator and led his men to Tenochtitlan. There, he was welcomed by Montezuma and provided with fine food and lodging.
