Aztec History
The Aztec Empire history begins when the nomadic
people first came from the north into
the Valley of Mexico in the 1200's.
They settled and built their city on an
island and began the city of Tenochitlan. They created relationships with
the surrounding peoples, but had to conquering others. This was the start
of the Aztec Empire which ran from 1300 to 1500 CE.
In the year 1519 the Spanish landed and
thus began the fall of the Aztec Empire. There are many factors which
allowed the Spanish leader Hernan Cortes to defeat the Aztecs.
