  Moctezuma I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He took power as Tlatoani of Tenochtitlan in 1440; he was preceded by Itzcóatl and followed by Axayacatl in 1469.
Moctezuma formed a triple alliance with two neighboring civilizations, Tlacopan (a small sovereign kingdom) and Texcoco.
Among the Aztecs' greatest achievements was when Moctezuma I, and the King of Texcoco organized the construction and completion of a double aqueduct pipe system giving Aztecs a fresh water supply throughout the city of Tenochtitlan.

At the same time the Aztecs sense of their own importance as the chosen people of the voracious Huizilopochtli was growing too.
In the mid-15th century they formed a triple alliance with the lakeshore states Texcoco and Tlacopan, to conduct the so-called "Flowery Wars" against Tlaxcala and Huejotzingo, which lay east of the valley.
The purpose was to gain a steady supply of prisoners needed to satisfy Huizilopochtli vast hunger for sacrificial victims, so that the sun would continue to rise each day and floods and famines could be avoided.

Secure in their pueblo surrounded by water, they could sally out on the less fortunate tribes who chose to pay tribute rather than to be subject to such forays.
Instead of entering into a conflict with the tribe at Tezcuco, the result of which might have been doubtful, a military confederacy was formed, into which was admitted the larger part of the old Tecpanic tribe that had their chief pueblo at Tlacopan.
But when the entire confederacy had been engaged in such conquest, the tribute was divided into five parts, of which two went to Mexico, two to Tezcuco, and one to Tlacopan.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Aztecs
The overthrow of Tlaltelolco took place at the beginning of the fifteenth century, which is as near a date as we venture to assign, too close precision in dates previous to the conquest not being advisable as yet.
In the meantime, the other tribes speaking the Nahuatl idiom, who were established on the mainland (Tezcuco, Tlacopan, Atzcapozalco, Xochimilco, Chalco, etc.), alternately at peace and at war with each other, had not paid much attention to the Mexicans.
They finally attempted to overrun the Aztecs also, and were successful for a short time, but the latter, directed by their war-chief, Moctecuzoma Ilhuicamina, and his colleague, the Cihuacohuatl Tlacaellel, formed an alliance with the tribes of Tezcuco and defeated the Tecpanecas, reducing them to a minimum of influence in the valley.

The Triple Alliance defeated the eastern kingdoms of Tlaxcala and Huejotzingo, making the Aztecs the dominant rulers of central Mexico.
This junior member of the Triple Alliance of 1431, with the Aztecs and Tlacopan to the west, benefited from Aztec dominance in the region.
But it was also one of the first kingdoms to feel the wrath of Cortez and his anti-Aztec allies, as the Spanish conquistador made his scorched-earth march toward Tenochtitlan in 1520.

It was his purpose to retreat on Tlascala, and in that capital to decide according to circumstances on his future operations.
All was now hushed in silence; and they were only reminded of the past by the occasional presence of some solitary corpse, or a dark heap of the slain, which too plainly told where the strife had been hottest.
The general's solicitude for the fate of this man, so indispensable, as he proved, to the success of his subsequent operations, showed that amidst all his affliction, his indomitable spirit was looking forward to the hour of vengeance.

They acquired some territory on the shore of the Lake and formed an alliance with Texcoco and Tlacopan, the Triple Alliance.
The terms of the Triple Alliance called for the division of any spoils of war into five parts, two parts of which would go to Tenochtitlán, two parts to Texcoco and one part to Tlacopan.
Later Tlacopan faded from power and for a period of time Tenochtitlán and Texcoco jointly ruled the empire.

In 1816, Texcoco falls to an infantry stack, the Panzer Brigade goes up against Tlacopan and gets owned, and Atzca falls to infantry and is razed, making me an even more evil dastardly bastard.
In 1820, the Panzers move in on Tlacopan, where the same conscript infantry kills two elites in a single turn.
Nevertheless, Tlacopan falls, along with the Aztec capitol at Swazi, and Calixtlahuaca almost dies to a massive panzer attack.

Four of the principal nobles, who had been chosen by their own body in the preceding reign, filled the office of electors, to whom were added, with merely an honorary rank, however, the two royal allies of Tezcuco and Tlacopan.
The crown, resembling a mitre in its form, and curiously ornamented with gold, gems, and feathers, was placed on his head by the lord of Tezcuco, the most powerful of his royal allies.
The title of King, by which the earlier Aztec princes are distinguished by Spanish writers, is supplanted by that of Emperor in the later reigns, intimating, perhaps, his superiority over the monarchies of Tlacopan and Tezcuco.

Presently the murmur grew to a roar, and from this direction and from that, armed men poured towards the causeway of Tlacopan.
Some came on foot, but the most of them were in canoes which covered the waters of the lake further than the ear could hear.
