Answer 1

Hernando Cortes conquered the Aztecs, Christopher Columbus discovered the New World, Francisco Pizarro conquered the Incas, and Ferdinand Magellan wanted to sail around the world.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hernando Cortes conquered the Aztecs.

Christopher Columbus discovered the New World.

Ferdinand Magellan wanted to sail around the world.

Mexico City is the future site of Mexico City.

Francisco Pizarro conquered the Incas.

Tenochtitlan is the home of the Incas.

Atahualpa is an Aztec ruler.

Cuauhtemoc conquered the Aztecs.

Hernán Cortés is credited with the conquest of the Aztec Empire, entering Tenochtitlán in 1519 and toppling ruler Cuauhtémoc. Meanwhile, Francisco Pizarro conquered the Inca Empire, capturing the emperor Atahualpa in 1532 and seizing the capital city of Cuzco. The Incan Empire was situated in the Andes Mountains, and Christopher Columbus set off the era of exploration by discovering the New World in 1492. The desire to find new routes and treasures prompted Ferdinand Magellan to sail around the world. The city of Tenochtitlan would later become the site of modern-day Mexico City.
