Reply #95: Aztec sacrifice wasn't the reason

[knight_of_the_star]

The reason the Tlaxcala allied with Spain was because of the old "enemy of mine enemy is mine friend" thing. The Tlaxcala were OLD enemies of the Aztec and unless the Spanish showed up then the Aztec would have kept the upper hand in their relationship. That and if you want to get into how many died on the Aztec altars, maybe I should be asking how many were outright killed by the Inquisition and the Church during the waning years of Rome, the Dark Ages, and the Middle Ages all th way up to the 1600s.
