Stone Statue from Tlaxcala, Mexico dated between 1000-1500 on display at the Weltmuseum in Vienna, Austria
The confederation of Tlaxcala contributed substantially to the Spanish victory over the Aztecs. Today's Mexican State of Tlaxcala continues to emphasise its former relationship to the Spanish crown and the Hapsburgs. Monograms of Spanish kings and the golden banner with a black eagle are depicted in the state's coats of arms. According to the viewpoint of the inhabitants of Tlaxcala, their ancestors defeated the Aztecs with the support of Spain. Later Tlaxcala took part in the Spanish conquests in northern Mexico, Guatemala and the Philippines.
