- You could keep your POD and have the Aztecs depopulated by smallpox while the Spaniards are not a threat. When the Spaniards return they find a nearly empty country. The Mayan empire, for example, had fallen long before this time and the Yucatan was mostly jungle. The Spaniards took over 200 years to defeat the new-Maya where it took only 2 years to defeat the Aztecs. So if the Aztecs succumb to smallpox before the Spanish armies can take advantage of that fact, then the Spanish may well not be able to take over all of central America, and a new Aztec-like civilization may be able to arise.

The Aztecs were not defeated by Cortes - they were defeated by small pox. A second group of Spaniards arrived in 1520 with the intent to stop Cortes from messing up relations with the New World empires. One African slave in that group had small pox and the disease spread to all central America. The disease killed around 90% of the indigenous peoples.
Your POD is in 1521, so it is already to late for the Aztecs. You need a different POD or a different timeline.
- If you pick a POD prior to 1520 you may delay the introduction of small pox. Perhaps the Aztecs could adopt some of the new world technology before they are devastated by the disease and retain enough of the technology to resist the Castilians.
- You could keep your POD and have the Aztecs depopulated by smallpox while the Spaniards are not a threat. When the Spaniards return they find a nearly empty country. The Mayan empire, for example, had fallen long before this time and the Yucatan was mostly jungle. The Spaniards took over 200 years to defeat the new-Maya where it took only 2 years to defeat the Aztecs. So if the Aztecs succumb to smallpox before the Spanish armies can take advantage of that fact, then the Spanish may well not be able to take over all of central America, and a new Aztec-like civilization may be able to arise.
