I like the series! Isn't Mexica a term to refer to the Triple Alliance though? Not a specific ethnic group, nor much different from the Aztec Empire? This is just my experience with the term I may be wrong.

Thanks for taking the quizzes! :) The Mexica are an ethnic group, but Mexica people ruled the Aztec Empire/Triple Alliance so I can see where that could get confusing.
