Since the Aztecs believed to they needed to sacrifice a lot of people a year to please their "gods", this bloody ritual ceremony would take the lives of 10,000 people a year. If the Aztecs didn't have enough victims to supply this ritual of slashing open the victims chest on top of a temple the rolling the bloody body down the steps the Aztecs would fight battles with neighboring people and capture prisoners.
They sacrificed 3 - 4 hundred per day. Do the math and that's about 109500 - 146000 people a year. At least, that's what I learned back in grade six.
Montezuma was the ruler of the Aztecs, and Atahualpa was the leader of the Incas. Montezuma thought that Herman Cortez was a god, and Atahualpa didn't think that Francisco Pizarro was a god. Montezuma was hated by the Aztecs because he sacrificed his people, and Atahualpa was killed one year after he became ruler of the Incas.

They sacrificed soldiers that they captures on war but they also practiced self sacrifice, the spilling of one's own blood to apace the gods and bring fertility to the land. Fir example always one young Aztec men was kept in Tenochtitlan for a year until the festival of Tezclaticopa when he was sacrificed. The Huey Tlatoani (king) before his ascension to the throne had to give some of his own blood to the gods
The Aztecs were conquered by the Spaniards led by the conquistador Hernando Cortes in the year 1521.
