It was the Mexica who fought the Spanish not the Aztecs, but what made the Mexica sick of the Spanish was as soon as the Spanish got there they had a meeting with Motecuzuma of talks about peace, that's when the Spanish held Motecuzoma hostage and that's when the Mexica took up arms to defend themselves against this new threat to their civilisation.
