MOCTEZUMA II (1502-20) 



Moctezuma, the younger, succeeded Ahuizotl in 

 1502 66 and, until interrupted by the arrival of the 

 Spaniards, continued the program of expansion 

 southward. His activities were, in part, concen- 

 trated in Oaxaca and adjacent areas, although he 

 pushed farther south, in the steps of Ahuizotl, to 

 reconquer Soconusco (Coleccion de Mendoza 

 5 : 50) . It is claimed somewhat dubiously that, 

 late in the reign, he penetrated Guatemala and 

 Nicaragua (Torquemada 1 : 218-219) . 



M Sources agree on the above dates, except for the C6dice 

 Chimalpopoca (p. 59), which places the death of Ahuizotl in the 

 year 11 acatl, or 1503. 



A considerable part of his time was devoted to 

 intermittent wars with Tlaxcala, and a major up- 

 rising in the Mixteca and adjacent zones likewise 

 kept him occupied (table 20). It is evident that 

 the bulk of the previous conquests to the south 

 was precarious; Cotaxtla, for example, received 

 his ambassadors with ill will, but Moctezuma ap- 

 parently had no time for reprisal (Torquemada 

 1:214). 



He made few conquests in the far north, and 

 the Huasteca appears to have enjoyed a well-de- 

 served respite. Isolated campaigns were directed 

 toward that general area, but there is no sugges- 

 tion of large-scale operations (map 18).
