Title: Siege of Tenochtitlan, 1521
Caption: Aztec warriors defending the temple of Tenochtitlan against Conquistadors. The siege of Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire, came about in 1521 through the manipulation of Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés. Though numerous battles were fought between the Aztecs and the Spanish army, which was composed of predominantly indigenous peoples, it was the siege of Tenochtitlan that was the final, decisive battle that led to the downfall of the Aztec civilization and marked the end of the first phase of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. The conquest of Mexico was part of the Spanish colonization of the Americas. Tenochtilan was the capital of the Aztec empire, founded in 1325, destroyed by the Spaniards in 1521 and now the site of Mexico City.
