A single powerful leader, the Aztec emperor, ruled these lands that they conquered. All the people he conquered were forced to pay him tribute, or heavy taxes, in the form of food, gold, or slaves.
Right in the book if you just read :)
Just like any conquered people in history: they were oppressed and felt the need to free themselves form the Aztec yoke at any cost.
When Spanish conquistadors made contact in the 16th century, these peoples saw their opportunity; they allied themselves to the Spaniards with the aim of destroying the Aztecs. They however, unwittingly also doomed themselves in the process, as they also fell to Spanish-brought disease and eventually were absorbed within the colonial society, having their distinctive cultures destroyed by 1700.
Most of them were integrated into the Mexican society. Nowadays, the average Mexican has a 44% of Native American genes (along with white European and Western African).
Native Americans fleeing from encroaching Europeans during the Age of Exploration (1500-1800) were often living in the wild, and were ostracized by the rest of the society. Nowadays, they make the bulk of the lower classes in Mexico.
Descendants of the Aztecs who ruled in Tenochtitlan when Hernando Cortes conquered what is now Mexico still live in Mexico. So the Aztec culture has largely been destroyed but the descendants of the people continue to live and have children.
when i was part of the Aztecs I was feltched and raped as was many of the people. This is how the kings of the Aztecs had such great contol over their people.

Many of the people who were ruled were forced to become slaves. Those who resisted were executed.
each conquered land was ruled a governor chosen from its people
I hate you. First, the Aztecs never ruled any Europena nation. They were 2 unadvanced. 2nd, the spanish encountered the Aztecs, not the french, and they conquered them and took their gold and killed 80,000 of their soldiers. So the Aztecs were unhappy with the spanish rule. French... god.
The Parthians.
because they were ruled by a great ruler and they wanted to "own the world" .people who didnt listen to there ruled were killed in fear thay might rize up an over rule the aztecs ANSWER: The Aztecs thought that the sun was a god who demanded sacrifices in order to keep on shining and providing them with food and warmth to live.
The Aztecs
Many people find their human sacrifice repulsive and barbaric. Also, they conquered many places, and ruled others through fear and oppression, which ended up being part of their downfall. However, many ancient civilizations had their own atrocities.
Nobody ruled the Aztec they were sivalized Empire
