Mistreatment of conquered peoples by the aztec.
One of the larger factors that lead to the decline of the Aztec and Inca civilizations are people from Europe bringing disease and taking advantage of these people.
A conquistador named Hernan Cortes.
One thing that led to the decline of the Aztec Empire was the shortage of skilled farmers. Mistreating the people they conquered. Additionally, the Spanish Conquistadors ripped the empire apart, destroyed the Aztec Army, killed Moctezuma (the Aztec Leader), and colonized the entire region.
Loss of their respective water supplies
The Maya and the Aztec were two separate cultures with the Aztec developing after the decline of the Maya. Features of Aztec culture were probably taken from the Maya and others probably developed independently. Some archaeological sites in the Yucatan show signs of a transition between the two cultures.
he Aztec and Inca empires are very similar. The Aztec rise to power and formation of an imperial state was as spectacular as it was rapid. The Aztecs were simply one of the nomadic tribes that used the political anarchy to penetrate the area of sedentary agricultural peoples
Muslims conquered other areas in Africa and cut off Axum from its lucrative trade routes.
The Aztecs had a lot of enemies and when the Spanish conquistadors arrived to Mexico the Aztec enemies were more than happy to help the Spanish destroy the Aztecs.
