Reply to comment by freeeYou in TIL an indigenous empire called the Purépechas (Tarascan Empire) denied an alliance request from their rivals, the Aztecs, when Hernan Cortez first arrived in present-day Mexico City. by freeeYou

All of the Aztecs neighbours hated the Aztecs for very good reasons.

They'd never form an alliance, and the Aztecs only proposed alliances when they were personally endangered but otherwise spent their whole existence beating and murdering the ever-living crap out of their neighbours.
