@indigo4fox super interesante tu comentario. acaso tienes documentos que relaten mas sobre la conquista del imperio p'urepecha y el papel que tuvieron los aztecas/mexicas? gracias!

@indigo4fox i think you are wrong on your comment, its been recorded by the Spaniards that they went to find the Purepechas so they can allied with the Spaniards to defeat the Aztecs, which the Purepechas did, they ended up defeating the Aztecs and killing many of them
