Legend says when the Spaniards arrived the Aztecs sent two emissaries to them to ask for help and because the relations between them were so cold the Aztecs didn't even know the name of their current king. They ended up asking to talk to the old king (who was dead) and the border guards obliged them and killed them so they could deliver their message to him in the afterlife. Turns out they probably should have listened to what they had to say before they did the funny.

Perhaps you should have indicated that the Triple Alliance first came to be in the context of a revolt against Azcapotzalco, a Tepanec city-state which had been the hegemonic power of the Valley of Mexico until its defeat at the hands of Tenochtitlan, Tlacopan and Texcoco. The way it's shown in the video, it's as if the Aztec Empire just appeared out of thin air.

Cortes: "Nice empire. Mine now"

Great video. This is incredibly detailed and I'm excited for this chapter of the NA video. I just have one suggestion. In 1521 the map turning red makes it look like Spain just wiped the floor with Mesoamerica and imposed its will on all of the former Aztec Empire. The truth is that Spain, after the Aztec-Spanish war, was in a commanding, but not dominant position. The second-place city of the Triple Alliance, Tetzcoco, was the real key in toppling Tenochtitlan's domination of the Triple Alliance, and the Spanish recognized this fact. So I think it's more accurate to say the Aztec empire continued after 1521, just with Tetzcoco as the dominant partner and the Spanish Crown given a place at the negotiating table. Spain's position was fragile for at least 20 years after the fall of Tenochtitlan, with Tlaxcala and many former Aztec tributaries simply not paying tribute to Spain until the 1550s. Native tlatoani continued to rule their altepeme for decades after the "conquest." In fact, the last tlatoani of Tenochtitlan didn't get replaced by Crown officials until 1565. So instead putting a simple red "Spain" label, I think you should show the map slowly getting more red as Spain consolidates control over the hundred or so years it actually took to subdue Mesoamerica, because the Aztecs certainly weren't erased from the political scene in three years, but rather after decades of disease and violence.

To be fair, the Spanish were lucky to attack when they did. Although the Aztecs and Inca arguably were at the height of their power, they still had potential to grow, while dealing with lots of (potential) internal struggle. Inca just came out of a civil war, Aztecs had that rather loose tributary system which of course enabled the Spanish to easily ally disgruntled natives/city states. There were other civilizations that thrived earlier though, the Mayan golden age ends around 900 AD/CE, the Olmecs were present in Mexico around the same time the Greeks thrived in Europe (1500 to 400 BC). We don't know as much about them though. The Mayans likely wrote about them, but sadly the Spanish destroyed almost every Maya Codex they could find.
