AZTECEMPIRE
Aztec Empire
The Aztec Triple Alliance or Aztec Empire began as an alliance of three Nahua city-states or "altepetl": Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan. These city-states ruled the area in and around the Valley of Mexico from 1428 until they were defeated by the Spanish conquistadores and their native allies under Hernán Cortés in 1521.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Aztec Empire
