In 1520-1521, an outbreak of smallpox swept through the population of Tenochtitlan and was decisive in the fall of the city!. It is estimated that between 10% and 50% of the population fell victim to this epidemic!.

Subsequently, the Valley of Mexico was hit with two more epidemics, smallpox (1545-1548) and typhus (1576-1581)!. The Spaniards, to consolidate the diminishing population, merged the survivors from small towns in the Valley of Mexico into bigger ones!. This broke the power of the upper classes, but did not dissolve the coherence of the indigenous society in greater Mexico!.
