The video discusses the fall of Tenochtitlan, which was the capital of the Aztec Empire in Mesoamerica. Hernán Cortés and his expedition arrived in 1519, forming an alliance with the Tlaxcaltecas to march towards Tenochtitlán. Despite initial friendly beginnings, tensions arose, and locals revolted. The siege of Tenochtitlán began in May of 1521, with a force of around 1,300 Spanish soldiers and more than 200,000 allied soldiers from neighboring tribes. The battles were intense, and after more than two months, the situation was terrible for both sides. Finally, the city fell, and the Tlaxcaltecas attacked the population. Around 200,000 Aztecs died, and with the end of the battle, the Aztec Empire fell, starting the conquest that lasted more than 300 years and was never entirely successful.
