Montezuma II (also Moctezuma) ruled the Aztec Empire from 1502 until 1520, during its height of power and the beginning of its dramatic fall. His reign coincided with the arrival of Spanish conquistadors led by Hernán Cortés, marking a pivotal moment in world history when Mesoamerican and European civilizations first significantly encountered each other. Under Montezuma's rule, the Aztec Empire had expanded its influence and developed sophisticated urban centers, agricultural systems, and cultural practices.
