Answer 1

When Cortez got back to the Aztec capital, he was attacked by thousands of Aztec warriors. This was caused by the slaughter of six hundred Aztec nobles. Cortez was forced to withdraw, for the Aztecs refused to be calmed, even by Montezuma. .On August 13, 1521, the Aztec capital fell, but only because a plague killed many Aztecs

Answer 3

240,000

11. FATALITY LEVEL OF DISPUTE (MILITARY AND CIVILIAN FATALITIES)

Fatality Level: 272,400 (La Noche Triste: 400 Spaniards, 2,000 indigenous allies to the Spanish; Siege of Tenochtitlán: 30,000 indigenous allies to the Spanish, 240,000 Aztecs) (historical)

Fatality Level: 45 (Acteal Massacre: 45 indigenous Mexicans) (contemporary)

Estimates of population losses and of casualty figures, especially from campaigns as distant as the Spanish conquest of Mexico, are always problematic.  Often the only reliable principle is that the larger the figure, the less accurate it is likely to be. 19  For our purposes, we will opt for the most conservative figures as in this event there is no need for exaggeration to indicate its massive scale.  In the Siege of Tenochtitlán, 30,000 men from the kingdom of Texcoco (part of the Spanish-Native Confederacy) were killed.  Of the Aztecs, more than 240,000 were killed.  Almost all of the Aztec nobility perished: there remained alive only a few lords and knights and the little children. 20

Answer 4

Do you mean how many did the spaniards atually kill themselves... or how many died after the spaniards arrvived because those are very different figures. The total combat fatalities were only in the hundreds of thousands as noted above, but thanks to smallpox roughly 9-10 million out of a total of 12 million people died.
