If I remember the Spaniards saw what was going on and decided they were going to put an end to it.


False. The conquest had nothing to do with sacrifices or Spanish morality. A glance at even the Wikipedia article regarding the conquest would be helpful before you start contributing to a subject you know nothing about.

It did have a lot to with it. Greed was their main motivation but they were absolutely horrified by what they saw the Aztecs doing. They wrote about their disgust in their memoirs.

It's kinda funny that with all of Cortez's greed, he ended up broke.

I read an account written by a person who supposed to have been there. Sorry that I missed the Wikipedia article.
