Here's a (very) brief summary of the fall of the Aztec empire, after the arrival of Hernando Cortes until the fall of Tenochtitlán (read a biography of Hernan Cortez here):
1519 (March 4): The Spaniards land in what is now Veracruz. The natives greet him with gifts. A contingent from Tenochtitlán also arrives with gifts. Cortes showed force and demonstrated his canons, terrifying the messengers.
Cortes sinks all the ships except one small vessel, and moves to the city-state of Tlaxcala. Generally speaking they begin on friendly terms.
The Spanish went on to Cholula. It's unclear what happened, but in the end many people in the city were killed by the Spanish. Read more about Cholula here.
1519 (Nov 8): Cortes and army arrives at Tenochtitlán, and begin on good terms. However, Cortes takes charge and demands tribute and some Roman Catholic shrines to replace the Aztec gods.
Cortes returns to the coast to defeat a rival Spanish army. The remaining soldiers join him.
The Aztecs revolt, driving the Spanish from the city. Cuitláhuac becomes emperor.
The Spanish go to Tlaxcala and make an alliance with them.
Most Aztec cities are conquered, and a siege of Tenochtitlán begins.
1521 (13 August): The last Aztec emperor, Cuauhtémoc, surrenders to Cortes.

2. Created laws protecting slaves and prisoners.
During the 13th century, the king Sundiata Keita united all the kingdoms of Western Africa to create the Empire of Mali. In the year 1235, he enacted the Kouroukan Fouga, the non-written constitution of the Empire of Mali, which contained laws that protected slaves and prisoners. This constitution is one of the first declarations of Human Rights in the History of Humanity. It established that slaves should be treated properly and they could only be employed or liberated, but they could never be sold by their masters.
3. Created a cabinet of advisors
In 1235, Sundiata Keita created the Gbara, or great assembly, which worked as the deliberative body of the Empire of Mali. It was formed by 30 members from the different Mandinka clans.
The English civil war led to the rise of parliament. Hope this helps!
