Abstract

There were many causes that came together to reach this sadend, but some had more impact than others, smallpox, the be heading of local elites, discontent and the fiscal pressure that the Mexica exertedon their tributaries, along with internal struggles of the Triple Alliance, required a time that the empire no longer had left.
