Best Answer

The exact location of Mexico City didn't have any population at the time. That is why the Aztecs could settle undisturbed and could quickly expand without being attacked until they were well prepared against any foreign invasion (by foreign I mean by other native tribes, such as the Tlaxcalans, Texcocans or any other tribes that resided in Mexico besides the Aztecs).
