supports: The Mexica (Nahuatl: "Mxihcah", ; the singular is "Mxihcatl" ) or Mexicas were an indigenous people of the Valley of Mexico, known today as the rulers of the Aztec Empire. Mexico-Tenochtitlan, commonly known as Tenochtitlan was a Mexica (city-state) located on an island in Lake Texcoco, in the Valley of Mexico. Founded on June 20, 1325, it became the capital of the expanding Aztec Empire in the 15th century, until it was captured by the Spanish in 1521. Chimalpopoca (for "smoking shield," modern Nahuatl pronunciation ) (13971427) was the third king of Tenochtitlan (14171427). The plural (abbreviated ), in many languages, is one of the values of the grammatical category of number. Plural of nouns typically denote a quantity other than the default quantity represented by a noun, which is generally one (the form that represents this default quantity is said to be of "singular" number). Most commonly, therefore, plurals are used to denote two or more of something, although they may also denote more than fractional, zero or negative amounts. An example of a plural is the English word "cats", which corresponds to the singular "cat". Caste is a form of social stratification characterized by endogamy, hereditary transmission of a lifestyle which often includes an occupation, status in a hierarchy, and customary social interaction and exclusion. Its paradigmatic ethnographic example is the division of Indian society into rigid social groups, with roots in India's ancient history and persisting until today. However, the economic significance of the caste system in India has been declining as a result of urbanization and affirmative action programs. A subject of much scholarship by sociologists and anthropologists, the Indian caste system is sometimes used as an analogical basis for the study of caste-like social divisions existing outside India. The term is also applied to non-human populations like ants and bees. Moctezuma I (c. 1398-1469), also known as Motecuhzoma Ilhuicamina (modern Nahuatl pronunciation ), Huehuemotecuhzoma or Montezuma I, was the second Aztec emperor and fifth king of Tenochtitlan. During his reign, the Aztec Empire was consolidated, major expansion was undertaken, and Tenochtitlan started becoming the dominant partner of the Aztec Triple Alliance. A warrior is a person specializing in combat or warfare, especially within the context of a tribal or clan-based warrior culture society that recognizes a separate warrior class or caste. Tlacaelel I (1397  1487) was the principal architect of the Aztec Triple Alliance and hence the Mexica (Aztec) empire. He was the son of Emperor Huitzilihuitl and Queen Cacamacihuatl, nephew of Emperor Itzcoatl, and brother of Emperors Chimalpopoca and Moctezuma I. Cacamatzin was a 15th - century Aztec noble -- the eldest son of the cihuacoatl , Tlacaelel -- and warrior who held the title of Tlacochcalcatl . His mother was princess Maquiztzin . He had twelve children , only three of whom are known : A female ( name unknown ) , who married Nezahualpilli , the tlatoani of Texcoco . The pair had a son , named Cacamatzin after his grandfather , who succeeded his father as ruler of Texcoco . Tlacaelel II , named after his grandfather , who also became cihuacoatl . Chicuey or Chicome Axochitzin , a warrior whose daughter became the mistress of Juan Rodríguez de Villafuerte , a Spanish conquistador . Cacamatzin was killed by the Purépecha after being captured in battle . Mexico (, modern Nahuatl ), officially the United Mexican States, is a federal republic in the southern half of North America. It is bordered to the north by the United States; to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; to the southeast by Guatemala, Belize, and the Caribbean Sea; and to the east by the Gulf of Mexico. Covering almost two million square kilometers (over 760,000 sq mi), Mexico is the sixth largest country in the Americas by total area and the 13th largest independent nation in the world. With an estimated population of over 120 million, it is the eleventh most populous country and the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world while being the second most populous country in Latin America. Mexico is a federation comprising 31 states and a federal district that is also its capital and most populous city. Other metropolises include Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puebla, Toluca, Tijuana and León. In the Aztec military, tlacateccatl was a title roughly equivalent to general. The tlacateccatl was in charge of the "tlacatecco", a military quarter in the center of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan. In wartime he was second-in-command to the "tlatoani" ("ruler", "king") and the "tlacochcalcatl" ("high general"). The tlacateccatl was always a member of the military order of the "Cuachicqueh", "the shorn ones". Tlatoani (, "one who speaks, ruler" plural ' ) is the Classical Nahuatl term for the ruler of an "altepetl", a pre-Hispanic state. It may be translated into English as "king". A ' is a female ruler, or queen regnant. Lake Texcoco was a natural lake within the Anáhuac or Valley of Mexico. Lake Texcoco is most well known as where the Aztecs built the city of Tenochtitlan, which was located on an island within the lake. After the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, efforts to control flooding by the Spanish led to most of the lake being drained. The entire lake basin is now almost completely occupied by Mexico City, the capital of the present-day nation of Mexico. </div> War is a state of armed conflict between societies. It is generally characterized by extreme aggression, destruction, and mortality, using regular or irregular military forces. An absence of war is usually called "peace". Warfare refers to the common activities and characteristics of types of war, or of wars in general. Total war is warfare that is not restricted to purely legitimate military targets, and can result in massive civilian or other non-combatant casualties. A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship and descent. Even if lineage details are unknown, clan members may be organized around a founding member or apical ancestor. The kinship-based bonds may be symbolic, whereby the clan shares a "stipulated" common ancestor that is a symbol of the clan's unity. When this "ancestor" is non-human, it is referred to as a totem, which is frequently an animal. 
  The word clan is derived from the Gaelic "clann" meaning "children or progeny" but not "family" in the Irish and the Scottish Gaelic languages. According to the "Oxford English Dictionary", the word was introduced into English in around 1425, as a label for the nature of the society of the Scottish Highlands ll. Clans in indigenous societies tend to be exogamous, meaning that their members cannot marry one another. Clans preceded more centralized forms of community organization and government and are in every country. Members may identify with a coat of arms or other symbol to show they are an independent clan. Cacamatzin (or Cacama) (14831520) was the king of Texcoco, the second most important city of the Aztec Empire. Itzcoatl ("Obsidian Serpent," modern Nahuatl pronunciation ) was the fourth king of Tenochtitlan, ruling from 1427 (or 1428) to 1440, the period when the Mexica threw off the domination of the Tepanecs and laid the foundations for the eventual Aztec Empire. Huitzilihuitl (Nahuatl language; English: "Hummingbird Feather") (d. "ca." 1417) was the second "tlatoani" of Tenochtitlan, governing from 1396 to 1417, (or 1390 to 1410 according to other sources). The Aztec people were certain ethnic groups of central Mexico, particularly those groups who spoke the Nahuatl language and who dominated large parts of Mesoamerica from the 14th to 16th centuries. The Nahuatl words "aztecatl" (singular) and "aztecah" (plural) mean "people from Aztlan", a mythological place for the Nahuatl-speaking culture of the time, and later adopted as the word to define the Mexica people. Often the term "Aztec" refers exclusively to the Mexica people of Tenochtitlan (now the location of Mexico City), situated on an island in Lake Texcoco, who referred to themselves as "Mxihcah Tenochcah" or "Clhuah Mexihcah" . Tlacochcalcatl ("The man from the house of darts") was an Aztec military title or rank; roughly equivalent to the modern title of General. In Aztec warfare the "tlacochcalcatl" was second in command only to the "tlatoani" and he usually lead the Aztec army into battle when the ruler was otherwise occupied. Together with the "tlacateccatl" (general), he was in charge of the Aztec army and undertook all military decisions and planning once the "tlatoani" had decided to undertake a campaign. Aztec warfare concerns the aspects associated with the militaristic conventions, forces, weaponry and strategic expansions conducted by the Late Postclassic Aztec civilizations of Mesoamerica, including particularly the military history of the Aztec Triple Alliance involving the city-states of Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, Tlacopan and other allied polities of the central Mexican region. Mesoamerica was a region and cultural area in the Americas, extending approximately from central Mexico to Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and northern Costa Rica, within which pre-Columbian societies flourished before the Spanish colonization of the Americas in the 15th and 16th centuries. It is one of six areas in the world where ancient civilization arose independently, and the second in the Americas along with Norte Chico (Caral-Supe) in present-day northern coastal Peru. Mexico City, officially City of Mexico (, ; abbreviated as "CDMX"), is the capital and most populous city of the United Mexican States. As an "alpha" global city, Mexico City is one of the most important financial centers in the Americas. It is located in the Valley of Mexico ("Valle de México"), a large valley in the high plateaus at the center of Mexico, at an altitude of . The city consists of sixteen municipalities (previously called boroughs).
