There were rival factions (clans) within the Aztec Empire, and some were displeased with Moctezuma II, who seemed to be favoring the elites over the commoners. Also, there had been a prolonged state of ritual battle with the rival state of Tlaxcala, whose warriors made up the majority of the Spanish-led forces.
