Perhaps the biggest reason the Aztecs fell was that Montezuma saw Cortez as the fulfillment of religious prophecy. His religion predisposed him to defeat as the Will of the Gods. But for that Cortez would not have lasted two minutes once Montezuma gave the word to kill him and his small band.

Personally, I can't help but see the Hand of Providence in the whole conquest.

Which leads to the ironic conclusion that Montezuma did as well though the knowledge was coming from the satanic side.
He was a priest in the Aztec religion as well.
