Tlaxcala

Mexico

Tlaxcala, Mexico shares 132 connections with 2889 other places across 20 topics, with history as the dominant thread. Strong ties link it to Mexico City, Puebla, Spain, and Oaxaca through pre-Columbian and colonial-era subjects. The Tlaxcaltec people resisted Aztec absorption through the intermittent "flower wars," fighting to preserve their independence. Religion adds further reach: three Nahua teenagers from the region were beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1990. Cuisine connections span edible insects, wild mushrooms, and foraged cactus fruit.
