aztec empire

I just wanna preface this beforehand, this is my first post and I'm no professional. My research and what I say here isn't gonna be perfect, but I would appreciate some criticism on anything that seems implausible or downright wrong. That's all, now history. On August 13th, 1521 the Aztec...

What if Morocco sends ships west for a route to the East alternate from Mamluk sultanate discover Americas instead of Colombus from Spain. Barbary pirates conquer aztecs and inca like the Conquistadors How will this effect the history of Americas ? How will this effect Europe ? How will this...

Before the rise of the Aztec Empire, the Valley of Mexico was dominated by the city of Azcapotzalco, which had Tenochtitlan as its vassal. Eventually the latter grew too big for its britches, and so it allied with Texcoco and Tlacopan in a successful campaign to overthrow their overlord, which...

I don't know if this is possible but, is this realistic enough? If somehow Reconquista fails and Al-Andalus still exist or if other Muslims still take control of the Iberian peninsula, will the Muslims attempt try to colonize far till they found the Americas?

So, this is a topic I've seen pop up from time to time, and there is much debate to it. In this hypothetical scenario, in this timeline, Cortez fails to conquer the Aztec Empire, and Pizarro never goes off to conquer the Inca, and both native empires survived Spanish colonialism and never fall...

Incas vs Aztecs Hello, I'm new here, but it entertains me a lot reading your alternate history threads, I was wondering if you could put together a TL about this topic or give me your opinions about this :))) If a European colonization of America had not happened for "x" reasons and these...

---------------------- Part 1: A Sign From Above Palace of Axayacatl, Tenochtitlan May 20, 1520 A.D. Moctezuma sat, lonely and silent, in one of the many rooms of his father's palace. Though several hours had passed since the sun vanished into the horizon, the tlatoani's body refused to sleep...

Say that the Spanish conquest of Mesoamerica and Peru goes sideways for whatever reason - the conquistadors were pretty damn lucky anyway - so that Madrid's colonial empire is, for the time being, restricted to the Caribbean and maybe Colombia + Venezuela. Would this smaller empire be stronger...

There are a bunch of threads on this site discussing the possibility of the Aztecs defeating Hernán Cortés and his native allies, the most common POD being a bigger victory at the Noche Triste where the Spaniards are completely massacred. However, many posters argue that, even if the invasion is...

The last tlatoani of the Aztec Triple Alliance, Cuauhtémoc, attempted to leave Tenochtitlan in a canoe right as the city was about to fall to the Spanish conquistadors and their numerous native allies. However, he was caught by a Spanish vessel and, after spending four years as a de facto...

What if the Aztecs had managed to score a total victory at La Noche Triste and effectively neutralize the threat posed by the Spanish and Tlaxcala force? I'm talking about depleting the force's numbers even further to the point where feasibly fighting would be much more difficult and killing or...

Title. I've looked all over the place but all I can find are discussion threads, not actual TLs. Any good ones?

The Tarascan State was an empire located roughly on what is now the Mexican state of Michoacán, centered on the city of Tzintzuntzan, on the shores of Lake Pátzcuaro. Their government was more centralized than that of the Aztecs, who were their contemporaries and also fierce enemies, and their...

Nezahualcoyotl was the tlatoani of Texcoco and an ethnic Acolhua. He was responsible for much of the growth and expansion of the Triple Alliance, and was an accomplished philosopher, warrior, architect, and poet in Pre-Columbian Mexico. His religious beliefs merit special attention though. He...

What if Hernán Cortés had been killed on La Noche Triste? How would things have changed?
