Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Cortes had tactical advantages of Spanish technology; (their weapons and armor were better ) than the Montezuma and the Aztecs.

1. Montezuma and the Aztec warriors had only cotton armour and shields made of wood or reeds to protect them. The Spanish and Cortes had metal armor and shields.

Hope this helped!!!
