How many years did Hernan Cortes sail?

Hernán Cortés was a Spanish explorer and conqueror. He is best known for leading an expedition that caused the fall of the Aztec Empire and brought large portions of what is now mainland Mexico under the rule of the King of Spain. Cortes arrived in present-day Mexico in 1519 and the Aztec Empire fell largely by 1521. He remained in Mexico as the governor of New Spain until 1528.
