For hundreds of years, the Aztec empire was the mightiest in Mexico. It was a society of fierce warriors, centralized in the near-impregnable island city of Tenochtitlan, from where the Aztecs ruled over the people of Mexico. But in the sizteenth century, Spanish Conquistadors came to the Americas. With little regard for the peoples who populated the New World, the Conquistadors sought to expand the Spanish Empire and seek fabulous wealth, even if doing so meant going to war with an entire race of people.
