The Aztec Empire was an extremely culturally diverse indigenous empire that existed between the 14th and 16th centuries. After the successful rebellion against its ruling city-state Azcapotzalco, the new capital city-state Tenochtitlan, allied with the powerful city-states Texcoco and Tlacopan, conquered much of modern day southern Mexico and northern Central America and governed its ever expanding empire until the Spanish Conquest of 1519.
