Many people struggle to distinguish between the state, the nation, political parties, and the government because they often overlap in political life and are closely connected.

The state is a relatively enduring political community and institutional system. The government consists of the institutions and officials that govern it at a given time. Political parties are organizations that seek or exercise political power, while a nation is generally a group of people with a shared history, culture, or identity.

Governments can change and parties can lose power while the state continues to exist; a nation may also exist without a state of its own. In everyday language, “the state” or “the country” is often used to mean the government, so criticism of a government may be taken as opposition to the country itself, while opposition to a political party may be mistaken for rejection of the wider society or nation.

@acuriocabinet @TomboyBindpkmi Cortés was, in effect, becoming involved in an ongoing regional conflict, so it may not be entirely accurate to say that he personally conquered the Aztec Empire. His political maneuvering was highly skillful. At the same time, the impact of disease should not be overlooked.
