There were a few great civilizations that flourished in Mesoamerica (modern day Mexico and Central America) before the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. Right before the Spanish the Aztec Empire dominated the area. Before the Aztecs it was the the Toltecs. And before the Toltecs it was the Mayans. And before the Mayans it was the Zapotecs, who were contemporary to the Romans in Europe.

There were several civilizations that rose and fell in Mexico since 3000 BC. The first were the Olmecs, considered the progenitors of every other Mesoamerican civilization. Other groups include the Teotihuacan, Zapotec, Toltec, Aztec and Maya; the two latter which were conquered by Spanish conquistadors in between the 16th and 18th centuries, transforming Mexico into an overseas territory of the Spanish Empire.

The Aztec civilization flourished in the more western and north part of Mexico while the Mayan civilization was located around the Yucatan peninsula - east of where the Aztecs lived.
