I know three of them/

1519-1521: Conquest of the Aztec Empire:

- Cortés set sail from Cuba to Mexico in 1519. He landed on the Yucatán Peninsula and then marched inland, forming alliances with indigenous groups who were enemies of the Aztecs.
- Cortés and his forces reached the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlán, in 1521, where they eventually defeated the Aztec ruler Moctezuma and claimed the city for Spain.


1524-1526: Honduras Expedition

- After the conquest of the Aztecs, Cortés was sent on an expedition to Honduras to confront Cristóbal de Olid, a rival conquistador who had declared himself independent. Cortés succeeded in subduing Olid.


1527-1528: Second Expedition to Honduras

- Cortés returned to Honduras to deal with ongoing issues in the region.
