The Aztecs built their capital, Tenochtitlan, in the early 14th century due to its strategic location on an island in Lake Texcoco, which provided natural defenses against invasions. The site also allowed for agricultural innovation, particularly the development of chinampas, or floating gardens, which supported a growing population. Additionally, Tenochtitlan became a central hub for trade and religious practices, reinforcing the political and cultural power of the Aztec Empire. The city's impressive architecture and layout reflected the civilization's sophistication and ambition.
