Aztec empire
The Aztec empire was a empire based in Tenochtitlan, which extended its power throughout
Mesoamerica in the late postclassic period.
It originated in 1427 as a triple-alliance between the city-states Tenochtitlan, Texcoco and
Tlacopan who allied to defeat the Tepanec, that had previously dominated the Basin of
Mexico. Soon Texcoco and Tlacopan became junior partners in the alliance which was led by
the Mexica of Tenochtitlan.
The political clout of the empire reached far south into Mesoamerica conquering cities as far
south as Chiapas and Guatemala and spanning from the Pacific to the Atlantic oceans. The
empire reached its maximal extent in 1519 just prior to the arrival of the Spanish
conquistadors led by Cortés who managed to topple the Aztec empire by allying with some of
the traditional enemies of the Aztecs, the Nahuatl speaking Tlaxcalteca.
Smith, Michael E. (1997). The Aztecs.

A journey through pre-Hispanic Veracruz

Gateway of Mexico to the world due to its geographic location, Veracruz has an invaluable
history. Since they are located in the tropics, the climate is usually hot and humid, therefore,
don’t forget to wear a hat, bring water, insect repellent, comfortable clothes and a raincoat.
This tropical land gave birth to the Olmec culture, the mother culture which influenced all of
Mesoamerica, including the Maya and Aztec. Tajin, “city of thunder” is the imposing
architectural legacy of the Totonac people and has been designated a World Heritage Site by
UNESCO.
Another pre-Hispanic past of Veracruz is Cempoala, one of the most important cities on the
Gulf coast, which was home to up to 30,000 people between Totonacs, Chinantecs and
Zapotecs. In the site’s museum, you will find pieces that reveal the artistry of its inhabitants,
including a detailed figure of Xipe-Totec, the Aztec god of abundance.
Cempoala is located 21 miles southeast of the port of Veracruz, and about 6 miles on the

Water Pollution

Water pollution is the contamination of lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater. Water
pollution occurs when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into the water bodies
without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds.

Water pollution affects plants and organisms living in these bodies of water. In almost all
cases this effect will damage the species.

About 10% of waste water is recycled in Mexico City, compared to 90% in London. With
political agreement it will take at least 10 years to make significant change.

If you want to help keep our waters clean, there are many things you can do to help:
Conserve water by turning off the tap when you brush your teeth.

Be careful about what you throw down your sink.

Not to overuse pesticides and fertilizers.
Don’t throw trash into rivers, lakes or oceans.
