The god of war and chif god of the Aztec names please?
Quetzalcoatl is the chief god of the Aztecs. He appears as a feathered or winged serpent, symbolizing his solidarity with the earth and the sky.Actually, Huitzilopochtli was the Aztec God of War. While Quetzalcoatl played a major role in the Aztec deity, Huitzilopochtli was the God to whom the Aztecs made sacrifice on a daily basis. This is why the Aztecs constantly had to engage in "las guerras floridas" to bring other native tribes into subjugation so that they could be sacrificed for this God. See this link: huitzilopochtli
