WAR WITH THE TLAXCALANS

After imposing himself militarily on another native people, the Tlaxcalans, Cortés managed to incorporate thousands of warriors of this ethnic group into his troops. The caudillo began to realize the advantage for the Spaniards of the divisions between the different native peoples, and especially the hatred existing among many populations against the Aztecs and their policy of imperialism and terror. In a way, Cortés' conquest of Mexico was a war of liberation of the Mexican people from Aztec rule. However, the Aztecs also had partners, with whom Cortés was particularly belligerent.

The sacred city of Cholula, which allied itself with Moctezuma to ambush the Spaniards and their indigenous allies, was sacked for two days on Cortés' orders. With the help of the Totonacs and Tlaxcalans, who were joined by hundreds of Cholultecas, all together "as brothers against that fierce tyrant and butcher of Moctezuma," as Diego Muñoz Camargo will write, Cortés' army seemed invincible. Before the unstoppable march of the conquistadors and frightened by the carnage in Cholula, Moctezuma, the Aztec tlatoani, chose to gain time and gave them entry to Tenochtitlán in November 1519. In the days following his arrival, Cortés dedicated himself to walking the streets to elaborate his strategy of conquest. With his present objective, he knew how to take advantage of the excuse of a confusing indigenous plot to capture the emperor and turn him into his hostage. However, Cortés had to leave the city in a hurry at the beginning of 1520 to face a punitive expedition sent from Cuba by Diego Velázquez.
