The Aztec neighbors and subjects hated them, so Cortes's army ended up much larger than the Aztec army. The final battle was bloody and they completely leveled Tenochtitlan in hand-to-hand combat. It lasted months, and smallpox played a major role in weakening the Aztecs. It also played a role in the Spanish consilidation of power after the war had officially ended.
