idk if you could call it a genocide, but yeah there was hatred there. Each altepetl (city state) considered itself as its own entity so they had no problem allying with the Spaniards, especially when it became clear how costly fighting the Spaniards was (the Tlaxcalans fought the Spaniards at first and got a bloody nose). Still, they did realize how foreign the Spaniards were, but in the beginning they didn't know how many of them would come or what their intentions were.
