I believe that the Aztec Empire began by the Aztec traveling for a place to settle then when they reached a place with an eagle sitting on a prickly pear cactus with a snake in its beak. The Aztec believed that that was a sign from their main God. Then the Aztec started to win wars and took their prisinors they got from war and forced them to be apart of they Aztec or they will get sacrafised.

∙ 10y agoThe Aztec empire started around 1200 A.D and ended in the early 1500s when Hernan Cortes landed on Mexico's gulf coast. He and about 600 soldiers marched to Tenochtitlan, which they heard was filled with gold. The spainards tricked the Aztecs into signing treaties while making them join them. They treated them like slaves and killed 6 million Aztecs within 2 years. Thousands died from mistreatment and even more died from "White Man Diseases" such as the common cold and small pox.

∙ 14y ago---- Well first of all, they began to be influenced by the legacy of theTeotihuacan's and the Toltec's They adapted Teotihuacan's god as one of their gods. After that, they started to claim the Toltec's as their own ancestors because they were even more highly. Then, a war started and they seen an eagle on a cactus with a snake in it's beak, which is what they were looking for. So next, they started to build the city they called Tenochtitlan. So there you have it that is how the Aztecs came to Mexico... ---- if you have any more questions email me at destinybabygirl12@Yahoo.com Bye, Destiny. ----
