I seriously need help distinguishing which verbs need to be conjugated in the preterit tense, and which ones need to be in the imperfect. If you can only translate a little, it still helps

The Aztecs were an Indian tribe located in North Mexico. The were happy people that lived in a beautiful place called Aztlan until their main god, Huitzilopochtli, told them they must leave. They traveled south for many years until they saw a cactus on an island in the middle of a lake. On top of the cactus there was an eagle. When the eagle lowered it's head in the direction of the Aztecs, they knew the island was the promised place. Step by step, they built the great capital of Tenochtitlan. Then, in 1521, Hernan Cortes, the Spanish conquistador, and his soldiers destroyed the city completely. The ruins of Tenochtitlan, now called Mexico City, are visited often by tourists.
