Mexico city before the spaniards invaded. In Popocatepetl and Ixtlaccihuatl and Tenochtitlan both had an Aztec Emperor in Tenochtitlan. In both of the stories it seem like in the city of
Tenochtitlan the population had a huge growth. The reason is they had over 200,000 in the capital of Tenochtitlan. Popocatepetl and Ixtlaccihuatl and Tenochtitlan both took around the same time period, but Tenochtitlan came a little earlier then Popocatepetl.
The difference between the two stories is one is nonfiction and the other is fiction.
Tenochtitlan is nonfiction story because it have facts and talk about how the life was in
Tenochtitlan before the spaniards

    I agree that the arrival of European’s into Tenochtitlán was a tragedy for the Native American people. I feel that it was a tragedy because the entire city was essentially wiped out for all that it was and all that it stood for. The European’s claimed the city of Tenochtitlán as their own in a small window of time where as the Aztec’s put their every effort into building the city from the ground up. Although, in defense of the European’s, I believe that they genuinely admired the Aztec people’s hard work and the beauty of the city they had created. However, I do not think that the European people understood or even cared to understand the culture of the Aztecs and were interested solely in the power they could have over the city of Tenochtitlán.…

    At the beginning of the 14th century the Aztecs were a tribe seated in Aztlán, possibly located in Nayarit's current condition, Mexico. It counts the legend that in 1325 they sacrificed to a princess of Culhuacan and had to escape towards a swampy island of the lake Texcoco. Here, his leader Tenoch saw a tunal where an eagle was devouring a serpent: it was the sign of the god Huitzilopochtli to found a new city. This way there was born the grand Tenochtitlán, the capital of the future Aztec…
