At that time they were spanish colony I believe.
In 1519, the native civilizations of Mexico were invaded by Spain, and two years later in 1521, the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan was conquered by an alliance between Spanish and Tlaxcaltecs (the main enemies of Aztecs). Francisco Hernández de Córdoba explored the shores of South Mexico in 1517, followed by Juan de Grijalva in 1518. The most important of the early Conquistadores was Hernán Cortés, who entered the country in 1519 from a native coastal town which he renamed "Puerto de la Villa Rica de la Vera Cruz" (today's Veracruz).
Contrary to popular opinion, Spain did not conquer all of Mexico when Cortes conquered Tenochtitlan in 1521. It would take another two centuries after the Siege of Tenochtitlan before the Conquest of Mexico would be complete, as rebellions, attacks, and wars continued against the Spanish by other native peoples.
but take a look at this site.

Try Montezuma II, king of the Aztecs when the Spanish defeated them in the 1520s. He's an interesting one. After that, Mexican history is mainly Spanish. Look up "Mexican history" on wikipedia.com and read up on it.

Which one?
THE AZTEC LEADER MOCNTEZUMA II?
He was the last Aztec leader and he was the one to see his culture crumble in peices while the Conquistadors were conquering.
