The first recorded Aztec sacrifice is often attributed to the god Huitzilopochtli, who was believed to require human offerings for the sustenance of the sun and the universe. This practice became central to Aztec religious life, reinforcing their social structure and power dynamics. The consequences for the Aztec people included a culture deeply intertwined with ritual and warfare, as they sought captives for sacrifices, which ultimately contributed to their expansion and, paradoxically, their vulnerability to external conquest. The sacrifices also instilled a sense of fear and awe among neighboring cultures, both solidifying Aztec dominance and inviting resentment.
