IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Several sources have had contradictions due to either Aztec propaganda, Spanish propaganda, or simply guesswork from lack of information. I had to make a few educated guesses for this video because of this.
2. The provinces were more like organized tributary groups and so the borders should not be seen as hard borders in most cases. There are also disputes onto how to accurately show administration in the alliance member territories as well.
3. Some rebellions or military events occur but end in the same year, which means they won't show up.
4. Despite several maps showing this, the Aztecs never fully controlled the isthmus of Tehuantepec. They did occasionally send their military there during wars and certainly had influence over the trade networks, but never controlled it outside of Soconosco.
5. There were multiple rebellions in Soconosco and while we have evidence of Montezuma II suppressing the 1505 one, I could not find one of him suppressing the 1510 one. It’s possible he could have reconquered the region afterwards but I didn’t find anything confirming it.
