Why was tenochtitlan built where is was built?
Before 1325 AD, the Aztec (or Mexicapeople, as they called themselves) were a nomadic tribe who wandered throughout the land, looking for a place to settle and build their capital. Their state religion awaited the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy: that the wandering tribe would find the destined site for a great city whose location would be signaled by an eagle eating a snake while perched atop a cactus.
The Aztecs saw this vision on what was then a small swampy island in the middle of lake Texcoco, after which they founded their capital city, on March 13, 1325. Not deterred by the unfavourable terrain, they set about building their city, using the chinampa system (misnamed as "floating gardens") for agriculture and to dry and expand the island. That city was Mexico-Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City (19° 25' 57.85'' N, 99° 07' 59.71'' W).
Were native people throughout Mexico fiercely loyal to the Aztecs?
No. There is a common misconception stating that Aztecs mistook the Spaniards for gods; in fact the Aztecs knew they were men, but were curious to find out what were their motives. Unfortunately, Cortes and his conquistadors were greedy conquerors in search for gold and ultimately destroyed the Aztec empire with the help of smaller tribes who were bitter enemies of the Aztecs. The most important among them were the Talxcalans, who allied with the Spanish and provided more than 100,000 warriors to destroy the Aztecs.

How did the Aztecs and the Mayans shape Mexico?
Culturally as well as demographically: Many ancient Mayan and Aztec traditions are well preserved such as the cultivation of cocoa, tomato, beans and corn; the cult to many ancient idols that later were "exchanged" for Christian Saints or many small but present details such as the different uses of the letter 'X' in Mexico. On the demographic side, both Aztec and Mayan people had interracial marriages with the invading Spanish conquistadores, resulting on the distinctive ethnic group that composes almost two thirds of Mexico's population: the mestizo people.
