The Aztecs belived that for the sun to continue to rise it needed a human sacrifice everyday. So the Aztecs gathered raiding parties to raid nearby tribes and take prisoners for sacrifices. Those actions made them alot of enemies.

What is the Aztecs religon?

The Aztec religion is actually formed from the Gods and Goddesses of many indigenous societies that the Aztecs absorbed into their empire. The Aztecs believed that before their society, there had been four other earths with different versions of human beings. Each of these earths were destroyed by Gods out of anger or vengeance on other Gods, for example, the first sun was formed by the God Tezcatlipoca and was destroyed out of jealously by Tezcatlipoca's rival Quetzacoatl. For the Aztecs, the death of their sun meant the end of the world and humankind for eternity for the Aztecs. So, in order to prevent civilization's fall, the Aztec felt they must appease the Gods with the most valuable commodity on the planet: human blood. The Aztecs donated mass amounts of time to growing their empire in order to supply more victims to sacrifice to the Gods. The notorious Aztec Flower Wars were provoked from a drought that the Aztecs believed was a foreshadowing of the end of their earth. The battles of the Flower Wars were designed to shed as much blood and end as many lives as possible on both sides of the battlefield.
