2. Cortes and his man brought smallpox to the city of Tenochtitlan, killing many Aztec
3. Cortes established alliances with enemies of the Aztec such as the Tlaxcalans
4. Cortes marched up the coast of Mexico and conquered the territory of Veracruz
Explanation:
When the Spanish arrived in Mexico, the Aztecs were thinking that they were deities, and that Cortes is a human incarnation of Quetzalcoatl, with the main reason for that being that they looked much different and came with ships from where the legend said that Quetzalcoatl will one day return. 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.
