Wait, you're saying that the Aztec empire was just 64 years old when Columbus discovered America and ships with conquistadors followed to butcher and enslave everyone?

Yeah, I've heard similar things in the past and I'm always confused by it.

There were people there prior to the Aztec empire conquering them. The Aztec empire is just a specific government that ruled the area at that specific time.

The Napoleonic empire, for comparison, only lasted 1804-1815 (with a hole in the middle).
