most important thing about the Aztecs warfare was to take use the people they defeated as sacrifices
the Aztecs forced the people they conquered to pay them tribute.
The Aztec Empire is long gone, it expired centuries ago, so it is not an empire of any kind, it is just a former empire. And when it existed it was not a military empire in the modern sense of the term; it was ruled by an emperor, not by a general. Of course, it did have military power and did enforce its rule by force. All empires share the characteristics of the military, to some extent.
Alright. there were no actual soldiers of the Aztec empire. during the celebration they had. (The Aztecs thought they were gods because they had horses). But in the death toll there were almost 300,000 thousand people who had died. only 25 of Cortes 1000 men had died. Of course the Aztecs were defeated.Why?Spanish Had GunsAztecs had Sticks with Rocks at the end.Ya... Easy as that
Hernán Cortéz was the Spanish Conquistador leader who eventualy overthrew the Aztec civilization. At first when Cortéz arrived in Tenochtitlan, the Aztecs thought he was their god Quetzacoatl. Therefore, Cortéz was able to work his way to the downfall of the aztecs but was then chased out of the city when the Aztecs figured out that Cortéz was not their god Quetzacoatl. When Cortéz left, he also left behind diseases common to the Spanish such as smallpox which led to the downfall of the Aztecs. I'm sure there are many small details I left out, please correct if you know any more information!! xD

London was like a dot on the map compared to where the Aztecs lived. The Aztecs had an empire. To compare like with like, the Aztec empire should be compared with the Roman Empire, rather than the city of Rome. The Roman Empire was 30 times bigger than the Aztec Empire.
