Most of the Aztecs died from a disease they had never seen before, which was SmallPox. When the Spanish conquestadors came over to conquer the Aztecs, they brought over this deadly diseas that ultimately wiped out the Aztecs.
SmallPox
A disease called small pox. the Spanish conquistadors brought it over from Spain.
the Spanish gave small pox to the Aztecs.
Disease mainly killed them because they weren't immune to the germs and diseases that the conquistadors brought with. The Aztecs also were no match with Cortes' weaponry. Also, insteadbof just killing the Spaniards, the Aztecs imprisoned them and saved them so they could be sacrificed, and that was a big mistake.
Because European explorers carried the diseases with them on their voyages. The Aztecs bodies had no way of fighting an unknown disease, so many of them simply died from the exposure.
Disease and inter-marriage. The Aztecs were at the center of Spanish control in Mexico, disease killed many but many more married Spanish men and had Mestizo children. So in a sense Aztecs are still around, they are the typical Mexican person of today.
The Aztecs didn't necessarily die. But, how most of the population died, are of many theories. One is the dehydration and starvation theory. For example, crops weren't growing so most of them died off. Another theory is to much sacrificing. The priests killed to much people, about 10,000 a day for the sun and to many people died from that. Finally, there was the disease theory. When the Spaniards came with Cortes they carried diseases and when they spread millions of Aztecs died from them. Those are some theories of how the Aztecs could have died. Now they are referred as Mexicans, mostly because they were renamed.
Well Disease, rifles, and allies helped Cortez defeat the Aztecs.
