This is true. People imagine the Spanish conquistadors destroying the Aztec empire, but really it was something like 700 Spaniards + 100,000 pissed off Aztec-neighbors who destroyed it. The Spaniards, as far as I know, tried to actually stop the raping and pillaging of Tenochtitlan but didn't have much luck in that regard.
