To answer this, you are going to have to look at a) Aztec culture,
Montecuzoma, and views of the apocalypse (return of the gods) -- how
that helped; b) tensions between Aztec and non-Aztec Mexican groups,
especially Thlaxcalans; c) how Cortes exploited them to build up his
army; and d) why, after the Spaniards were kicked out of Tenochtitlan in
1520 (after the Aztecs finally rose up to fight them), they were able
to come back a year later, lay siege to the town and finally take over.
You will also have to discuss how the interpretation given by Broken
Spears on this compares, contrasts or differs to conventional European
views
