teolocholco tlaxcala carnaval
tlaxcala, mexico: settled by an indigenous nahua  people in the 14th century, it rivaled with the aztec city of  tenochtitlan. though the aztecs managed to build the largest empire in  mesoamerica, they were unsuccessful in their quest to conquer tlaxcala.  this led the city to economic isolation, with severed trades for goods  with neighboring cities. it also resulted in constant warfare with the  mexica (the pre-columbian, indigenous people of mexico).
evenutually, tlaxcala rallied with hernan cortes and his spanish army  - and defeated the aztec leader, montezuma II.
