The Totonac civilization was concentrated in the present-day states of [[Veracruz]] and [[Puebla]]. The Totonacs were responsible for the establishment of cities, such as [[El Tajín]] as important commercial trading centers. The Totonacs would later assist in the [[Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire]] as an opportunity to liberate themselves from Aztec military imperialism.
