Original Note:
Mexico + Aztec are not South American: It is North or arguably Central America Other societies near the Aztec were city-states, empires etc; & had been so for millennia, not "tribes" Many states allied with Cortes not to be saved from the Aztec, but to gain power https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_America#Different_definitions https://www.worldhistory.org/timeline/Mesoamerica/ https://www.public.asu.edu/~mesmith9/1-CompleteSet/MES-08-AzCityPlan-Encyclopedia.pdf https://www.public.asu.edu/~mesmith9/1-CompleteSet/MES-00-CityStates.pdf https://www.public.asu.edu/~mesmith9/1-CompleteSet/MES-05-CitySize.pdf https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/7rfbiz/comment/dswr7kk/
