Aztec merchant-traders called pochteca traveled throughout the empire, bringing exotic goods like macaws and feathers long distances. According to the Spanish in the period of? the conquest, the most important market was located in Tlatelolco The city of Tlatelolco was the sister city of Mexico-Tenochtitlan.
Tribute collection was one of the main reasons the Aztecs needed to conquer a nearby region. The amount of tributes paid to the empire varied with respect to how far from the city and the importance. The Aztecs built sophisticated agriculture systems in the Valley of Mexico. These included irrigation systems as well as floating fields, also known as chinampas.
The Aztec empire fell just after the arrival of the Spanish. Although the conquest of Mexico was completed within several years, the subjugation of the Aztecs lasted many years and involved many actors. When Hernan Cortes reached Mexico in 1519, he and his soldiers had a number of allies within the local communities that were ruled by the Aztecs, including the Tlaxcallans, who considered the newcomers to be the possibility of escaping from Aztecs.
