The Aztec ruler, Moctezuma, welcomed Cortés, but Moctezuma soon sent the Spaniards away. The conquistadors were greedy for gold. His soldiers had horses, guns, and armor, and the Aztecs did not. Smallpox made the Aztecs weak. Cortés defeated them. In 1535, Spain controlled the Aztec empire and named it New Spain. After Cortés, conquistadors explored Central and South America to find gold and treasure. Pizarro conquered the Inca empire in South America in the 1530s. Key concept 4.3
