Unlike the Aztec Empire, which was a centralized society with Mexico-Tenochtitlan as its capital, the Mayan peoples in the Yucatan peninsula were part of independent city-states. In order to conquer the peninsula, the Spaniards had to effectively conquer each and everyone of them. This means that the last Mayan stronghold fell in 1697.
