the spanish
Spain was the European country that conquered both the Aztec and Inca empires. The Spanish conquest was led by Hernán Cortés, who defeated the Aztecs in present-day Mexico, and Francisco Pizarro, who overthrew the Incas in modern-day Peru. These conquests occurred in the early 16th century and significantly impacted the indigenous populations and the history of the Americas.
European explorers often compared the Aztec Empire to the city of Venice due to its intricate system of canals and impressive architecture. This comparison highlighted the sophistication and grandeur of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlán, which was built on an island in the middle of Lake Texcoco. The city's layout and urban planning impressed many European explorers, drawing parallels to the renowned maritime city of Venice.
Spain's Hernán Cortés conquered the Aztec Empire in present-day Mexico, while Francisco Pizarro conquered the Inca Empire in present-day Peru. Both conquests occurred during the early 16th century and were marked by significant military engagements, alliances with local tribes, and the exploitation of weaknesses within the empires. Their actions led to the establishment of Spanish colonial rule in these regions.

Malinche, also known as Doña Marina, played a crucial role in the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire by serving as an interpreter, advisor, and intermediary for Hernán Cortés. Her linguistic skills and understanding of both Nahuatl and Spanish facilitated communication between the Spanish and indigenous peoples, enabling Cortés to form alliances with rival tribes discontented with Aztec rule. This strategic collaboration ultimately weakened the Aztec resistance and contributed to the fall of Tenochtitlán in 1521. Malinche's influence exemplifies how indigenous figures were pivotal in shaping the outcomes of European exploration and colonization.
