Answer
The first significant event during Moctezuma's reign as the Aztec ruler was the arrival of Spanish explorers led by Hernán Cortés in 1519. This marked the beginning of European contact with the Aztec civilization and had a profound impact on both societies. Cortés and his men were initially welcomed by Moctezuma, but tensions soon arose, leading to the eventual conquest of the Aztec Empire by the Spanish.
