Final answer:

Hernán Cortés established a Spanish presence in the Americas, created gold fever in Europe, and defeated the Aztecs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hernán Cortés, a Spanish conquistador, led the expedition that resulted in the fall of the Aztec Empire in the early 16th century. His daring conquest of Mexico, marked by alliances and conflicts, significantly impacted the course of history in the Americas.

At that time he had established a Spanish presence in the Americas and defeated the mighty Aztecs. His arrival in Tenochtitlán, the capital of the Aztec Empire, in the year 1519 marked a significant turning point in the colonization of the Americas by Spain. Cortés and his men were astonished by the wealth of gold in the city, which created a gold fever in Europe and further motivated Spanish exploration and conquest in the Americas.
