Evaluate the most substantial factor that influenced the Aztec Empire negatively, and in turn, led to its demise. 
Surely, yes, by welcoming the Spanish, greed followed and thus, led to its downfall. However, the Aztecs were unable to combat the disease (smallpox) exposed from Spanish conquistadors.
