The first Spaniards to encounter the Maya were a party of shipwrecked sailors who landed in Yucatán in 1511.
Next came the expedition of Francisco Fernández de Córdoba in 1517.
In 1527 Francisco de Montejo attempted to conquer Yucatán, and in 1546 his son succeeded.
By 1524 Spanish explorer had conquered the southern highland area, which had also fallen into tribal warfare.
Spanish domination of the entire Maya region was achieved in 1697, when the small group of Maya in the central Petén area was conquered by Martin de Ursua, the Spanish governor of the Yucatán.
Many Maya were killed or died of European diseases that the Spanish brought with them.
The Spanish forced most of the remainder to labor on Spanish farms or in gold and silver mines.
So, in short, after a brief discovery by sailors, the expedition of Francisco Fernandez, and blasphemy of numerous other Spaniards, the Mayans were erased.
No one did they worked with the Spanish to defeat the Aztecs. Then the Spanish decided to enslave them and they did. Thanks for the question.
No one knows who conquered the Mayas because they died out around the time Cortez came to the Americas
