I n the 1520s, a tiny force of adventurers from Europe came to what is now Mexico and conquered the Aztec Empire of six million people. How did this happen? Read on and see!















The Aztecs and the newcomers
T he Aztec Empire, centered in what is now Mexico, dominated the region between about 1350 and 1520. It was an alliance of three powerful city-states that absorbed many other cultures in what is now Mexico.








Moctezuma













T he Aztecs were originally a people from the north of Mexico. They moved south around 1100, and after great difficulty over many years established themselves among the tribes and city-states of central Mexico. They made allies and began a rise to dominance over the whole region.













T he Aztecs built their huge capital, Tenochtitlan, on an island in a lake, and by the time the Europeans arrived it was a city of over a million people. At that time, London had only 100,000 residents, Paris had 300,000, and Florence had about 60,000. Tenochtitlan was one of the largest cities on Earth. It was linked to the mainland by a series of causeways, and had beautiful temples and palaces, huge squares and markets, and a series of canals connecting different parts of the lake with the main parts of the city.
