The Aztecs planned to capture their enemies during warfare primarily for the purpose of human sacrifice, which they believed was essential to appease their gods and ensure the sun would rise each day. They viewed these sacrifices as a way to maintain cosmic order and sustain the universe. Additionally, captured enemies were often used for labor or as slaves, contributing to the economic and social structure of the Aztec Empire.
