In this episode of Compact Warfare, we examine the fall of Tenochtitlan in 1521, one of the most consequential sieges in military history. From the rise of the Mexica capital and the arrival of Hernán Cortés, to the alliances that reshaped the war and the brutal final siege itself, this episode traces how a mighty imperial city was brought down. It is a story of strategy, betrayal, disease, urban warfare, and the violent birth of New Spain.
