Hernán Cortés was a Spanish conquistador(conqueror) who conquered the Aztec empire in 1521 and claiming Mexico(the aztecs) for Spain.
Cortes came with 16 horses(of which the aztecs have not seen before and therefore scared of. they described as beasts with two heads and six legs), 14 cannons, steel swords and crossbows. This made them stronger in battle against the Aztecs.
One of Cortés' men contracted smallpox from a member of the force from Cuba. He died during the Aztec rebellion and when his body was looted, an Aztec caught the disease which spread like wildfire among them because the Aztec people had no immunity to it.
When Cortés' army regrouped and re-entered Tenochtitlán. They found that the city's society had crumpled as a result of the disease. More than 3 million Aztecs died from smallpox, this helped the Spaniards in conquering the Aztecs.

The mercantilism is an economic theory that the trade is what generates wealth, being stimulated by the accumulation of profitable balances, which should be encouraged by the government by means of protectionism. This led the leaders of the strong Western European countries to seek for territories from which they can benefit in the sense of gaining more goods for trade, and then use the people in the colonies as customers as well, thus creating lot of wealth. And so they did. France, Spain, the British Empire, Netherlands, Portugal, all managed to create colonies at places that were rich in natural resources and goods that were well paid and demanded. On top of it, they made colonies so that they can expand their market, thus they were producing in the colonies, using them as a market, and making lot of profit. In order for this to be happening, the governments used their military in order to protect their colonies, often engaging into conflicts.
