You might try asking this question on r/AskHistorians. They have actual historians there who have expertise and education in Mexican and Spanish history. You’re likely to get more detailed and accurate answers there than you are here.

Edit: There is so much misinformation being shared here. You might get some better information from [this thread](https://x.com/Majora__Z/status/1797150621658730719) on Twitter as well. MajoraZ is super well informed about Mesoamerican and Aztec history and often posts clearing up misconceptions about the region.
