In 1518 Diego Velazquez put him in command of an expedition to explore and secure the interior of Mexico for colonization. At the time he was still Mayor of the capital of Cuba. At the last minute Velazquez changed his mind and removed Cortes from the command, but Cortes in a show of open defiance /mutiny ignored the orders and went ahead with the expedition.
