The Aztec civilization was an ancient Mesoamerican civilization that existed in central Mexico from the 14th to the 16th centuries. The major city of the Aztecs was Tenochtitlan, located on an island in Lake Texcoco, which is present-day Mexico City.
The event that is most associated with the Aztec civilization is the arrival of the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes in 1519. Cortes, along with his army of Spanish soldiers and indigenous allies, conquered the Aztec Empire in a series of battles that culminated in the fall of Tenochtitlan in 1521. This event marked the end of the Aztec civilization and the beginning of Spanish colonization in Mexico.
