Was there a period when Aztecs had a lot of power money food or trade?
Before the arrival of the Europeans (and Cortes), but Aztecs ruled nearly all of Mexico. They had several slave cities that they maintained under their rule and were a very powerful society. Had the Aztecs not believed Cortes and his men to be gods and not have been killed by diseases, it is possible that they could have defeated Cortes -- though they probably would not have survived a subsequent counter-attack if Spain were to send it.
What did the Aztecs do to the other tribes that they defeated?
The Aztecs charged them tribute which is the equivalent to the taxes we pay except the other tribes didnt get any services back like we do. Sometimes the Aztecs would capture people from other tribes. After the war finished, they would then sacrifice the prisoners of war to the Gods.
