    The Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire which begun in in mid-February in 1519, was one of the most significant events in the Spanish colonisation of the Americas. Christopher Columbus establishment of permanent European settlements in the Caribbean, the Spanish authorised expeditions for the discovery, conquest, and colonisation of new territory, using existing Spanish settlements as a base. Many of those on the Cortés expedition of 1519 had never seen combat before. In fact, Cortés had never commanded men in battle before. However, there was a whole generation of Spaniards who participated in expeditions in the Caribbean and Tierra Firme (Central America), learning strategy and tactics of successful enterprises. The Spanish conquest of Mexico had antecedents with established practices.
The Spanish campaign began in February 1519, and was declared victorious on August 13, 1521, when a coalition army of Spanish forces and native Tlaxcalan warriors led by Hernán Cortés and Xicotencatl the Younger captured the Emperor Cuauhtemoc and his City of Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire at the time.
