In 1521, the Spanish troops led by Hernan Cortes were welcomed in the Aztec city of Mexico-Tenochtitlan by the Emperor Moctezuma II. The shock of these two civilizations will turn to the advantage of the Europeans. The Aztecs had managed to impose domination over the Valley of Mexico in record time, submitting many peoples and developing a refined civilization. So let's go back to the history of the Aztecs and ask us why their fall was so fast.
