The Indians, particularly the Tlaxcalans, played a crucial role in helping Hernán Cortés defeat the Aztecs by providing him with vital military support and local knowledge. They were discontented with Aztec rule and allied with Cortés, supplying warriors who bolstered his forces. Additionally, they assisted in logistics and intelligence, enabling Cortés to navigate the region effectively and exploit weaknesses in the Aztec empire. This alliance significantly contributed to the eventual fall of Tenochtitlán in 1521.

I only know that they were trying to defeat the Algonquian tribe because of land...and I don't think another tribe was trying to help them. The Aztecs won because of their horses and strong materials. The Aztecs also had neighbors that disliked them, try to find the other tribes around the Aztecs since hernan cortez got help from some of the tribes that were enemies with the Aztecs.
