The conquistador Hernán Cortés built the city of Mexico City (proper name "Ciudad de México) in order to erase all traces of the Aztec rule.

After Moctezuma's was killed the Aztec went into a frenzy. He was killed by either his people throwing stones at him or Cortez killing him, it is not known which happened. The war between Cortes and the Aztecs got out of hand. Cortes soon tried to get onto land by ship but couldn't. The Aztec either starved and/or were killed by a deadly disease that Cortez had brought to the Aztec, Smallpox.

I am not ENTIRELY sure of the whole answer, but all I know is that there is something on a Cactus, eating something else. The cactus is on a stone. There is a lot more to it, but I have looked for a bunch of information about this, and found nothing, so I hope I could be a help to you!

Everyone had to go to school. Their were no recess. Girls will learn how to weave, sew, and take care of kids. Boys will learn law and how to be men. They will also learn building. Slaves, boys, and girls went to school.

The Aztecs flourished in a well known area in Mesoamerica

They were called chinampas. With too little land for agriculture, the Aztecs would starve if they didn't find a way to farm. Using reed rafts, they piled dirt and used the fertile soil from the lakebed. They used stakes to hold these rafts and planted trees so the soil wouldn't just float away. Since the soil was very fertile, the crops were good.

At its pinnacle Aztec culture had rich and complex mythological and religious traditions, as well as reaching remarkable architectural and artistic accomplishments. A particularly striking element of Aztec culture to many was the practice of human sacrifice. In the beginning stages of Tenochtitlan, development, Aztec life was very difficult in their undesirable location. Tenochtitlan was located on a marshy island with limited resources, they built a few thatch and mud huts, and some small temples. The Aztecs would have to work constantly to maintain a city on swampy land. There was also continuing tensions between the Aztecs and the neighboring peoples on the mainland who despised them. Despite these obstacles, the Aztecs worked hard to improve the quality of their lives. They adopted an agricultural system of farming called the Chinampas. and in a short period of time, the land was transformed into a fertile and highly productive island. The center of Tenochtitlan was made up of many temples, the most important one being the Main Temple, palaces, pyramids, and a great plaza. The center was roughly five-hundred and fifty square yards, but seemed much bigger because everything was packed so tightly together. There were close to a dozen temples in the center, but the most important one was the Main Temple. The Main Temple was dedicated to rain god Tlaloc and sun god Huitzilopochtli, whom the Aztecs considered their protector. The Main Temple was a large temple, which words could not describe. It was free of any sort of litter and had an incredibly tall wall in which another city could be constructed. It was important to the Aztecs of Tenochtitlan, and they worshiped daily in it. There were also many palaces and pyramids. The palaces were dedicated to the kings and nobles, and the pyramids were made for sacrifices. The Aztecs of Tenochtitlan though it necessary to nourish the deities with human hearts, because if not, then the sun would not come up daily, or there would be an enormous drought. The people mostly used prisoners of war for their sacrifices. The main place of sacrifice was the Great Pyramid. It had one-hundred and fourteen steps, and added to the magnificent beauty of the city. The Plaza was in the dead center of the city, and was whitewashed. It had no litter whatsoever, and great walls surrounding it. The Plaza and all of these structures make the center look like a thing of beauty.

Compared to European cities of the time Tenochtitlan was a very large city. Population estimates vary from 212,000 to 350,00 making it one of the very largest of it's day.

The city was well organized, with many squares where markets were held and trading carried on. They were not a savage civilization as once thought. It was a planned city with specialized workers.

His part in history was to conquer the aztecs.Later in his life he given 20 young women.He gave all the women to his warriors but kept one for himself.Her name was La malinche.He baptized her and gave her the name of dona Marinna.

Tenochtitlan was build most likely built on a lake for protection. Because it had very narrow access bridges, it prevented the city from being attacked in mass because large groups of soldiers could not get in a single time. Not only that, but the mud from the lake bed was used as a fertilizer in their floating gardens, called Chinampas, which meant that the Aztecs could supply their own food even under a time a siege. Because the crops were also located on the water, it made it hard for enemies to damage them.

because its safer their and i guess they wanted to get away from the leaders or king and there is no one that can come and kill them

Tenochtitlin is a valley surrounded byb high mountains except on its northern side. The climate is cool, so the Aztecs had only one crop growing season.

The most sacred building in Tenochtitlan (and in any Aztec city, for that matter) would've been their pyramids. The pyramids were used by the priest in order to provide human sacrifices to their gods. The Aztecs believed that human sacrifices kept the gods happy.

took montezuma prisoner

Tenochtitlan was home to an estimated quarter of a million people.

Because Tenochtitlan was built on a lake and later added in aqueducts to control flooding and the water levels, it is quite similar to modern day Venice. The Aztecs had small boats that they could use to maneuver between different floating land (often called Chinampas).

In Mexico...The Spanish built Mexico City on top of it....

Because the Aztecs believed that the gods told them to find an eagle sitting on a cactus, growing off a rock, and eating an insect of some kind. When they found it they started building there.
