Explanation:

Tenochtitlan was the capital city of the Aztec Empire. It founded in 1325 and served as the centre until it vanquished by Spanish in 1520 under Harnan Cortes. It was built on a marshy island in Lake Texcoco with palaces, pyramids, and storehouses. The Aztecs built their city where the water worked as natural protection from enemies. Its population estimated with 400,000 people with fewer nobles and religious leaders. Hernan Cortes founded Mexico City on the ruins of Tenochtitlan and claimed it for Spain.
