The Spanish came to Central America and delivered diseases such as Smallpox, Measles and Influenza to the Aztecs. The Aztecs, unlike the Spanish, were definitely not immune to the diseases and caught them, making them weak and forcing them to lose the battle between them.
Although the Aztecs captured and sacrificed many of the Spanish, the Spanish resulted in taking over the capital city of Tenochtitlan and defeating all the Aztecs.
The Spanish at one point tried to spread the Catholic religion throughout Mexico, forcing Aztecs to learn more about God and the Bible. If children didn't learn their lesson about it, they were punished. They were forced to stop worshiping their gods and celebrating their festivals.
They were also made to work in Spanish mines or on estates.

∙ 12y agoThe Spanish influenced the Aztecs', cause the Aztecs thought they were gods and they praised them with gifts. The Aztecs' figured out they were not gods and the Spanish turned and conquered them! Thy gave them the small pox and diseases. Which this killed many Aztecs, not the spandereds cause the spandereds already had this once and had got used to the disease. The Aztecs' have NEVER had anything like this so this made it so the Aztecs would die in a short period of time. Hope this helped:)

∙ 12y agoThe Mayans were not an empire, when the Spanish arrived to Yucatan, did you know that Yucatan means I don't understand you in Mayan, any way when Columbus encounters the Mayans they were not as powerful, since their cities had already been abandoned, about 300 years before

∙ 11y agoI am Spanish and Aztec myself! This is what happened, the Spanish had Jesus Christ, and the Aztecs had other gods. They fought, then the Spanish reached the Aztecs about God. Hello, I wanted to add this: One huge change the Spanish made among others was that they changed the Aztecs from a ruling tribe to one that was under the rule of Spain.
