The way cortez's discovery of the aztec empire in mexico directly affect the native populations that were living there was: They lost their lives when peaceful greetings became vicious attacks.

At that time, Cortez discovered that Aztec might hide a large number of Gold in their territory. He later on devise a surprise attack masked as peaceful greetings to lower the defense of Aztec's warrior and minimize the casualties on his side.
