When European came to the New World, they fought with the Native American which led to the decline in their population. Europeans not only brought settlers but diseases that widespread in Central and South America. Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes invaded and overthrew the Aztec Empire by force and captured Tenochtitlan in 1521.
