1. Hernán Cortés (1485-1547): Spanish conquistador who led the first major European expedition that resulted in lasting colonial change, the fall of the Aztec Empire, and the beginning of Spanish hegemony in Mexico.

1. Born: Medellín, Spain (now in Colombia). Cortés was a member of the minor nobility, receiving a good education and training for law but choosing an adventurous life instead.

2. He arrived in Mexico in 1519 with around 600 men and over 100 ships, initially landing at present-day Veracruz. His primary goal was to find gold and other riches for Spain.

3. Cortés allied himself with indigenous groups hostile to the Aztecs, most notably the Tlaxcalans, significantly enhancing his military strength. This strategic move played a crucial role in his victories.

4. The most famous event during Cortés’ campaign was the conquest of Tenochtitlan (present-day Mexico City) in 1521. Despite being outnumbered, Cortés and his forces managed to capture the Aztec capital after a long siege.

5. After the fall of Tenochtitlan, Cortés became the Governor of New Spain, overseeing the colonization process and implementing the encomienda system, which granted Spanish settlers the right to use native labor.

6. His ruthless tactics, including brutal subjugation of indigenous populations, have been heavily criticized in historical accounts.

7. Cortés returned to Spain in 1528 due to political rivalries but continued to serve as an officer and negotiator for the Spanish crown until his death in 1547.
