Answer:

Cortés was appointed as governor of New Spain. Still, he didn't have success there as after rebellion started against him in Honduras, he was removed from the position although he wen to Spain to ask king's grace.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cortes managed to basically destroy Aztecs with around 500 people. This led to death of last ruler Montezuma, and to capture the city of Tenochtitlán. This great civilization basically was extinguished and Spaniards managed to conquer the larger portion of New World.
