Cortes believed that his men had the advantage primarily because he believed they had superior weapons. The Spanish conquistadors were equipped with advanced weaponry such as firearms, cannons, and steel swords, while Aztec warriors primarily used weapons made from obsidian and wooden clubs, which they had crafted.
