 In 1519, the city of Tenochtitlan was a thriving city of 250,000 people.  It was the center of the Aztec empire.  It was a beautiful city that the first Europeans who saw it thought that it must be enchanted.  But these same Europeans would bring the downfall of the empire.  The Aztecs welcomed Hernando Cortes and even thought he must be a god.  But that feeling didn't last and it was soon obvious that the Spanish were there for a different type of mission.  What became of the Aztecs?
