Hernan Cortes was one of the greatest explorers of the Exploration age. If he hadn't discovered and taken over Aztecs then we may not have Mexico like it is today. Cortés also named California.
Cortés' explorations have impacted today's society by his conquering several native american tribes, which definitely could've led to a different change in culture today in Mexico. He also built and named Mexico City on the ashes of Tenochtitlan which would've made the world today so much different. Finally, by converting so many people to Christianity, Cortés made Christianity a more widely popular religion.
