Spanish conquistadores, led by Hernan Cortes, allied themselves with Tlaxcalan tribes to conquer the Aztecs, who were the most important civilization in Mexico at the time. With the aid of these tribes, plus the effects of smallpox disease that killed many of the native inhabitants, they finally conquered the lands now named as Mexico at the Fall of Tenochtitlan (capital city of the Aztecs) on August 13, 1521. Since that day, until September 27, 1821 Mexico became a colony of Spain.
