Kutacha m'mawa Moctezuma Xocoyotzin adadzuka mwamantha.
Zithunzi za comet komanso moto wachilengedwe wa akachisi a Xiuhtecuhtli ndi Huitzilopochtli, komanso zochitika zina zachilendo zomwe zidachitika mumzinda ndi madera ake, kukonzekera, malinga ndi anzeru, nthawi zowawitsa, kudalamulira malingaliro a Tenochca wolamulira . Pofuna kuchotsa malingaliro ake m'mutu mwake, Moctezuma adachoka m'zipinda zachifumu ndikukonzekera kuyenda ndi khothi lake kudzera m'nkhalango ya Chapultepec, pafupi ndi likulu.
Ali paulendowu, tlatoani adawona kuti chiwombankhanga chikuwuluka modabwitsa, ndipo adakumbukira kuti zaka zambiri zapitazo, makolo ake, motsogozedwa ndi wansembe Tenoch, adakhazikitsa Tenochtitlan pamalo pomwe adapeza mbalame yofananira, yomwe imawonetsa osamukirawo kutha kwaulendo wake ndikuyamba kwa mbiri yankhondo yankhondo yomwe ingalole kuti anthu aku Mexica akwaniritse ukulu weniweni, womwe iye, Moctezuma, tsopano anali woyimira wawo wapamwamba. Madzulo, atabwerera kunyumba yake yachifumu, a tlatoani adadziwitsidwanso za kupezeka kwa "nyumba" zoyandama zomwe zimawoneka ngati zisumbu, zomwe zimadutsa kunyanja za kum'mawa, pafupi ndi Chalchihuicueyecan, mdera lokhalamo anthu. kwa anthu achi Totonac. Wodabwitsika, wolamulirayo adamvetsera nkhani za amithenga ake, omwe, atafutukula pepala losakhazikika pansi, adamuwonetsa zosangalatsa za "zisumbu" zachilendozi zomwe kumakhala anthu akhungu loyera, omwe amafika kumtunda. Amithengawa atachoka, ansembe adamupangitsa Moctezuma kuwona kuti iyi ndi imodzi mwamawonekedwe owopsa omwe adalengeza kutha kwa ulamuliro wake ndikuwonongedwa kwathunthu kwa ufumu wa Mexica. Mwachangu mbiri yoyipa ija inafalikira mdziko lonselo.
Kwa iwo, zombo zomwe Hernán Cortés adayimilira pagombe la Veracruz, komwe adalumikizana koyamba ndi nzika za Totonacapan, yemwe adauza Cortés ndi anyamata ake nkhani zodabwitsa za Mexico-Tenochtitlan, ndikudzutsa ku Europe lingaliro kulowa m'deralo kufunafuna chuma chambiri chomwe adawafotokozera. Paulendo wotsatiridwa ndi ulendowu, kaputeni waku Spain adakumana ndi mbadwa zina zomwe zidakana ziwopsezo za asitikali ake, koma a Tlaxcalans ndi a Huexotzincas, m'malo mwake, adaganiza zomuphatikizira, kufunafuna mgwirizanowu kuti athetse goli lachitsulo lomwe Korona waku Mexico adapatsa anthu onsewa.
Kudzera m'mapiri omwe amaphulika mwadzidzidzi, asitikali aku Spain ndi anzawo omwe adakumana nawo adapita ku Tenochtitlan, ndikuyima kwakanthawi ku Tlamacas, malo omwe pano amadziwika kuti "Paso de Cortés", pomwe adawona chithunzi cha mzindawu patali- chilumba muulemerero wake wonse. Ulendo wautali wa omwe adagwirizana nawo udafika pachimake pa Novembala 8, 1519, pomwe Moctezuma adawalandira ndikuwachereza mnyumba yachifumu ya abambo ake, Axayácatl; Pamenepo, malinga ndi olemba mbiri, alendo adazindikira kuti kuseli kwa khoma labodza kunabisika chuma chosaneneka cha banja lachifumu la Aztec, lomwe tsopano ndi la Moctezuma.
Koma sizinthu zonse zomwe zidadutsa mwamtendere: kugwiritsa ntchito mwayi woti Cortés adabwerera kumagombe a Veracruz kukakumana ndiulendo wopereka chilango ku Pánfilo de Narváez, a Pedro de Alvarado anazungulira akuluakulu a Mexica m'mpanda wa Meya wa Templo, mkati mwa zikondwerero zachilengedwe zam'mwezi wa Tóxcatl, ndikupha gulu lankhondo losavomerezeka.
Imfa idaponyedwa. Cortés, atabwerera, adayesa kuyambiranso zochitika, koma zomwe adachitazo zidafooka chifukwa cha ziwopsezo zomwe zidatsogoleredwa ndi wankhondo wachichepere Cuitláhuac, yemwe adakhala pampando wachifumu wa Mexica mwachidule atamwalira mosakhalitsa a Moctezuma.
Pothawa Tenochtitlan, Cortés adapita ku Tlaxcala ndipo kumeneko adakonzanso gulu lake, kuti apite patsogolo ku Texcoco, komwe adakonzekera mwanzeru pomenya nkhondo, pamtunda ndi m'madzi, mumzinda wa Huitzilopochtli. Asitikali aku Mexico, omwe tsopano akutsogozedwa ndi a Cuauhtémoc olimba mtima, Tlatoani Mexica watsopano, adagonjetsedwa pambuyo pokana kulimba mtima komwe kudatsogolera kuwononga Tenochtitlan ndi mapasa ake Tlatelolco. Apa ndipamene aku Spain adayatsa akachisi a Tláloc ndi Huitzilopochtli, ndikuchepetsa ulemu wakale wa Mexica kukhala phulusa. Khama la Cortés ndi anyamata ake kuti maloto olanda Mexico akwaniritsidwe adakwaniritsa cholinga chawo, ndipo inali nthawi yoti apange mzinda watsopano pamabwinja amwazi omwe likulu la New Spain. Chiwombankhanga chija chomwe Moctezuma adachiwona chikudutsa thambo lopanda malire, atavulala modetsa nkhawa, sichimatha kuthawa.
