Answer:

Cortés was, nevertheless, important in his reshaping of the world. "Cortés' victory secured new and profitable land and opportunities for the Spanish monarch. He helped oversee the building of Mexico City, which is still Mexico's capital today," said Cosme. "He opened the door for further exploration and conquest of Central America to the south, and eventually led to the acquisition of California toward the north."
