Tlaxcala - 2025 ACF Winter

Question

Camilla Townsend traced how this state’s depiction of the Spanish conquest shifted in the 1540s to emphasize peace negotiations instead of their initial resistance. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this Nahua state that allied with Hernán Cortés to fight against the Aztecs, their long-time rivals in the Flower Wars. For its help, this state was granted privileged status within New Spain.

ANSWER: Tlaxcala (“t’losh-KAH-lah”) [or Tlahtōlōyān Tlaxcallan]

[10m] In depictions from the Lienzo de Tlaxcala codex, this figure was often drawn larger and more central than Cortés. This Nahua woman translated for the Spanish and secured the Tlaxcala alliance.

ANSWER: La Malinche [or Malintzin; or Doña Marina; or Malintze; or Malintzine; or Malinalli]

[10e] According to Bernal Díaz’s history of the conquest, Cortés was addressed as “Malinche” by a ruler of this name. An Aztec king of this name received Cortés in Tenochtitlan and later died in captivity.

ANSWER: Moctezuma [or Montezuma; or Motēuczōmah Xōcoyōtzin; accept Moctezuma II or Montezuma II or Motēuczōmah II Xōcoyōtzin]
