Answer 2

Mexico City was founded as Mexico-Tenochtitlan by the Aztecs, not Spanish. It was flourished between A.D 1325 and 1521, built on the island on Lake Texcoco. The capital city of Mexico was built on top of the ruins of the Aztec capital soon after the Spanish destroyed the city after their conquer. During the colonial period, Mexico City became one of the most important cities in the country due to its system of canals and causeways that supplied the people who lived there.
