In fact, another factor in their loss to the Spanish was that their battle tactics stressed capture of the enemy rather than killing them in order that they could be sacrificed. This gave the Spanish an advantage having no inclination to do anything but kill the enemy in battle.
Uh, you are aware that without the assistance of the Aztecs' enemies from Texcoco and other subject peoples, the Spanish wouldn't have had a prayer, even with their guns, horses, armor, etc. There simply weren't enough of them.

Of course, I am. There were 300. They wouldn't have been allowed to survive had not the Aztecs refrained from attacking them in the beginning before they had time to organize the opposition.
