Best Answer

There were over 100 ethnic groups living in Mexico at the time contact with Europeans was made. However, some of the most important included the Mexica or Aztec, the Mayan and the Tlaxcalans, who were bitter enemies of the Aztecs, and helped Cortes and his men to conquer the Aztec Empire.
