The Fall of Tenochtitlan, the capital of
the Aztec Empire, was
a decisive event in the Spanish
conquest of the empire. It occurred in 1521 following extensive
manipulation of local factions and exploitation of pre-existing
political divisions by Spanish conquistador Hernán
Cortés. He was aided by indigenous allies,
and his interpreter and
companion La Malinche.
