Answer:  BANKRUPTCY

As David Haynes of <em>The Balance </em>explains, "Bankruptcy is a federal law that allows individuals and businesses alike an opportunity to eliminate or reorganize burdensome debt."  Provisions for bankruptcy law in the United States actually go back before the founding of the country.  Early bankruptcy laws in the US were modeled after similar laws in England.  

In more recent US history, there have been some famous bankruptcies in which companies sought to make a comeback from dire financial straits. General Motors filed for bankruptcy in 2009, and ultimately was bailed out by the US government (with supervision and conditions).  Marvel Entertainment, which now is having blockbuster success with huge movie franchises, filed for bankruptcy protection in 1996 (when it was solely a comic book producer).

The Spanish used this in their advantage and left the Aztecs to think that way, bringing them in their capital and making them familiar with it, but also brought smallpox with in the city, killing off the Aztecs. Cortes and his men were hungry for gold, and the Aztecs had lot of it. The Spanish understood that most of the people conquered by the Aztecs hated them, so they made alliances with them in order to attack them and take over their empire. Together, the Spanish and the local people managed to defeat the Aztecs and took over their territory, marking the beginning of the Spanish empire in the New World.
