## Resource

Imagine a scenario where the Aztec Empire and the Spanish Crown forged a strategic alliance instead of engaging in conquest. In this exploration, we analyze the potential consequences of a united front against other colonial powers and internal strife. How would this alliance have reshaped trade, culture, and military strategies in the Americas? Our hosts will discuss the implications for indigenous governance, the spread of Christianity, and the fate of European colonization in the New World. Join us as we construct a narrative where cooperation rather than conflict defines the relationship between the Aztecs and the Spanish, altering the course of history in the Americas.
