HINT: If you only want to know when the empire started and ended, only read the bolded because the rest are only facts about the empire in chronological order.
  • The Aztecs were first nomads who arrived in the Valley of Mexico in around A.D. 1250.
  • Their war god "Huitzilopochli" promised them a legend: "They will have found their land when they stumble upon a place where an eagle screams, spreads its wings, and eats...the serpent".
  • They find this place in A.D. 1325 and name it Tenochtitlan (means "place of the prickly pear cactus")
  • The Aztecs had a social class: nobles, commoners, unskilled laborers, and enslaved laborers.
  • They used codices (books to refer to their religion and history)
  • They made a religious 260-day calendar and a regular 365-day calendar.
  • They built a Great Temple (temple pyramid) to honor their gods Huitzilopochtli and Tlaoloc.
  • Drained water from swamps for irrigation.
  • When Hernan Cortes reached the "Americas", his army not only conquered the Aztecs with their weaponry; they carried diseases such as whooping cough, smallpox, and measles. Much of the Aztec people had died from the diseases and their culture vanished too.
  • The Aztecs were conquered by Hernan Cortes on August 13, 1521
